World’s first foldable TV disappears into your floor

A consumer electronics firm has unveiled a 165-inch screen TV that folds up and disappears into the floor when it’s not in use.

At the touch of a button, a sculpture-like column rises silently from the floor and unfolds to reveal the enormous 4k MicroLED display, held by an aluminium base.

The display is made up of five separate MicroLED panels that when locked into place look like one uniform display with invisible seams.

Manufacturers say MicroLEDs are brighter than OLEDs and offer the same benefits of high contrast and deep blacks, without burn-in.

The luxury object, called M1, is the creation of C SEED Entertainment, which has offices in Vienna, Austria and California.

M1 retails for $400,000 but its hefty price tag doesn’t include installation, which would require enough space to hide it underground.

‘At the push of a button, the floor opens and within seconds, a sleek column of machined aluminium rises silently from the ground,’ the firm says on its website.

The 165-inch screen ‘settles down smoothly’ to provide users ‘with an overwhelming entertainment experience’.
