I found my next TV....

wonder if they will have a black Friday deal on it though...

When I was a kid, I still remember the time my dad splurged on a 60-inch projection screen TV. It was comically oversized for our Cape home, with a footprint nearly on par with our couch. Two closets had to be ripped out just to accommodate it, and to this day I have no idea how my parents' marriage survived.

It's safe to say things might've ended up even worse if my dad had designs on the C Seed 262, a patently ridiculous 262-inch 4K TV that costs over $38,000—to install. The actual TV? That'll cost you just over $500,000.

Two hundred and sixty-two inches of screen. That's a little over 20 feet long and 8.5 feet high, which is almost the same size as a professional soccer goal. If you laid it on the ground on a basketball court it would stretch past the free throw line. It's gigantic.

The TV comes with its own 4K media server, a surround sound audio system, and a motorized fabric cover that you can use to "conceal" the TV when it's not in use.

For such an impressive centerpiece, the cost actually doesn't seem that outrageous. If you've got a couple billion in the bank, this will put all your friends' mediocre 120-inch TVs to shame. It's certainly more notable than buying your 10th Range Rover or another Ferrari.

Of course, even if you do have that kind of money laying around, you could also buy over 800 of something like the $649 55-inch TCL P Series. Then again, 800 of those side-by-side would stretch for over half a mile.

No matter which direction you go in, you'll still run into the same problem as my dad: getting the dang thing through the door. Also, you need to find a wall that is over 20 feet long, 9 feet high, and can support a TV that weights over 1,700 lbs.

Maybe it's better to just build a new house around it? If you can afford the TV, you can probably afford the construction costs. For more information or to inquire about getting one, check out CSeed.TV.
 
For that kind of money you could buy a 4k projector and build a theater room to house it!
When those come down to $3k and all the kinks are worked out, and they start renting 4k blurays at Redbox, then I'll look into those. I'm assuming my current HDMI cable won't work with that though. Thankfully I have a pull string to pull cables through the ceiling, but damn the ends of the HDMI are pretty wide so I hope that doesn't get stuck when doing it lol, there are a few corners to go around.

Projector technology has changed a lot recently. You can get a huge ALR (ambient-light rejecting) screen (usable in the daytime) with an ultra-short-throw 4K HDR projector for under $30k these days:



If you don't need a UST projector, you can just get an ALR screen (around $5k for a 144" last time I checked) plus a regular projector. Still a hefty investment, but not as awful as $30k 😀
