Ever wanted to lounge in the open air while enjoying your favorite movie or TV show under the sun or the stars? No, we are talking about using a portable projector or an outdoor projector. That would require an outdoor projector screen and also it will not work very well under the sun. The C SEED N1 Outdoor TV, on the other hand, is purpose-built for the outdoors.
And yes, C SEED N1 Outdoor TV is an actual TV, NOT a projector. The only downside is, it is a fixed installation. So it is not quite for your backyard but more for a poolside, or hard surface outdoor area of your mega mansion. Oh right. You will need a mega-mansion to have a need for this big guy.
Billed as the future of large outdoor TVs, the N1 TV blends technology with art in a manner you never imagined possible. How so? Well, when not in use, the display is folded into the minimalistic, monolith-like sculptural element lying on its side.
It would be contemporary art to your clueless visitors (or maybe a really, really expensive bench – but seriously, do not sit on it). Not going to lie. It looks absolutely dope.
When you need the TV, it takes just 60 seconds to rise to its height of 3 meters (9.8 feet) and another 25 seconds to unfold its five MicroLED panels. When fully unfolded, the five MicroLED panels form a seamless monumental 165 or 137-inch display.
Thanks to the luxury TV brand’s patented Adaptive Gap Calibration, it creates completely seamless foldable TV surfaces, free from any visible gaps.
C Seed said the display delivers best-in-class pixel power for ultra-high-resolution images in any light environment, be it direct sunshine during the day or at night.
The TV, while fixed, is able to rotate 180 degrees left or 90 degrees right, allowing viewing between different areas, such as the lounge area, swimming pool, or jacuzzi, for example.
The display boasts 4K MicroLED technology, 16-bit color processing, 4,000 nits of brightness, a refresh rate of 3,840 Hz, 7,000:1 contrast, HDR10+ support, and 1.9 or 1.6-pixel resolution.
The TV further boasts two built-in 100-watt broadband coaxial speakers and an integrated subwoofer in the column, with additional twin coaxial speakers in each wing.
The TV is IP65 rated and can withstand the elements all year round. The TV is produced in Austria and presented in a sleek, titanium matte metallic color.
The C SEED N1 Outdoor TV is, as the name implies, the outdoor version of the brand’s N1 TV which was demoed to the media at last year’s CEDIA. So, yeah, the TV is as real as you and me, and the best part is, it is available to buy. C SEED is accepting pre-orders for the C SEED N1 Outdoor TV for a bank-breaking US$233,000. Delivery is expected to commence in Q1 2024.
