This massive TV folds up like something out of ‘Transformers’ — and costs more than 2 Tesla Cybertrucks

The company said it takes about 60 seconds for a TV to stand to its full height and another 25 seconds for it to fully unfold.

The company has been showing off the luxury TV at tech expos throughout 2024, including the Consumer Electronics Show in January and, more recently, the CEDIA Expo for home tech last week.

When it’s not in use, the N1 looks like a piece of Art Deco decor, but the company said it takes less than 90 seconds to become a flatscreen TV.

C Seed teased the new N1 TV in a concept video back in 2022. The company boasts a patented design that makes the foldable design possible.

All that fancy tech doesn’t come cheap.

The 137-inch model comes with a $283,000 price tag. If that’s out of your budget, the N1 also comes in a 103-inch version that retails for $236,000. And for those looking to spend more than they could on a new Lamborghini, there’s the $389,000 model with a gigantic 165-inch screen.

The TV can be placed just about anywhere, according to C Seed.

C Seed says it’s the first of its kind, and a representative told CNET that the company has sold about 200 custom-built foldable TVs over the past decade.

Camouflaging TVs is all the rage with transparent displays and frame TVs meant to look like artwork. There was also LG’s $100,000 rollable TV.

Another TV that made a splashy debut at CES earlier this year was LG’s see-through OLED TV. The 77-inch display can blend into your wall or look like a fish tank when not in use. But, it’s unclear how much it will cost when it becomes available.
