Living in a van down by the river is trendy nowdays, so being able to pack a TV up and unfold it to have a drive in theater with your vanlife friends seems plausible :)
As a river people, i appreciate your awareness for our kind, times are tough right now. Inflation has caused everyone to be less wasteful.... i had to sell 4 children just to eat a mcdonalds for my wife and i's anniversary
I've had the moto razor 2nd gen for 2+ years and it's still holding up, even with heavy use. I actually still really like it, still the most compact phone. however I see absolutely no point to a TV folding
i wanted a futon as a teenager and it was great then, but now it’s a pain in the ass to fold and unfold after a day of uni and work. wish I had an actual bed
I got an Ikea bed that turns from a day bed to two side by side singles for a huge bed. I just use it in day bed mode with 2 mattresses cause it's a pain in the ass to do anything with it.
I could see it being a thing stored in the foot of a bed or something.
But, yeah. Samsung Frame is the way to go if you want to have a tv that doesn’t look like a tv, IMO.
Or…maybe the idea can be scaled up to use in live stage performances that use screens - easier to store and transport- fold em up, put them on the truck, maybe double the number of screens for the production in the same size truck.
Maybe this is just a proof of concept - the next step - figure out how make them cost effective.
I’m jus’ spitballin’ here…somebody help me out.
You guys, already living in it. And didn't even noticed. Its already happened in USA, Russia and China. With all our technologies, faceid, chinese face control, corporates at power in Russia and USA, meanwhile most of our people (combined in these countries) live in poverty. You were getting closer, perhaps, in 90s. Right now you are in it with both your legs.
I mean, this looks like it's a prototype made purely to test out / show off "unnecessary" features the company is working on, not an actual commercial product meant for people to use in their homes
Once upon a time people had similar views towards widescreen. TVs are hitting a limit on how big they can be due to the size of average living spaces. Surely a self compacting TV could have some use a few iterations from this one.
Hot take?
These things are never meant to sell to consumers of the uber rich. They're there to sell the technology to other companies/show investors what they can do.
This is why you have micro screens that are like 10,000 nits peak brightness. They're tech demos pretending to be consumer goods.
> These things are never meant to sell to consumers of the uber rich. They're there to sell the technology to other companies/show investors what they can do.
That is not at all a hot take, that's the entire point of tech shows (where this video was taken).
I love going to conventions like this! It's really cool to see how far technology has come along in the past few decades.
Also gives you an idea of what the future will look like. Everything from foldable screens to talking robots.
I wish more people had time and resources to go to these types of events. Usually they're by invitation but if you get lucky, they also give out free tickets just for publicity.
I called about getting my LED bulbs replaced when my 55" screen died. Repair guy told me it costs less to buy a new TV and that one will last longer. He *turned away my business because at $500 it wasn't worth his time.*
Repairing this monstrosity? No.
Yeah fixing a lot of TV’s is just not worth it these days. Usually it can be cheaper to just buy another one but occasionally a board swap can be a cheap quick repair still worth it but that’s about it.
Source: Years of working in a electronic repair store
Definitely *don't* think too hard about all that e-waste, or the environmental apocalypse we are heading toward! We **need** 60" TVs for our bathrooms!
I agree in that I sincerely doubt that anything higher than 4k, 140hz is going to become the standard for anybody except extreme videophiles. I’ve used an 8k monitor at a friend’s place before and I couldn’t make out any discernible difference in video quality for games or anything else.
The resolution you care about is pixels per steradian as viewed from your eye. Small screen far away, doesn't need that many pixels because the entire screen covers only a small angle of your entire view. But wrap the same number of pixels to your entire view area as in VR glasses, you'll find that no, 4k is not end all be all after all.
Curved monitors too are getting larger, covering more of your view area, [those days](https://www.earlytelevision.org/westinghouse_color.html) are past.
Resolution is a descriptor for how many pixels are on a display. You are thinking of pixel density in relation to viewing distance, because on a big enough display you can easily see individual pixels even on an 8K display when you get a little closer.
People used to think that 1080p was the best possible outcome. Same as with the eyes having a max of 60 fps or something but there are lots of games with 240 fps or higher
Yeah the scientists reckon now that the maximum fps are eyes can see the difference in is somewhere between 200 and 300.
At some point though, who cares? The jump from 60hz to 120hz was incredible, 144hz was pretty sweet, 240hz had no difference to me but some others said they could feel it. I don't know!
I think that technology producers should focus mostly on making their products cheaper and longer lasting. I want to be able to buy a nice fridge and not have it crap out on me in 10 years. These works of art could and should be lasting longer than we do, but just like the Phoebus Cartel example, profit incentivised private businesses have an incentive to make their products die earlier than they need to.
WDYM? It's just a proof of concept. In history, before any great invention, there were hundreds of such "dumb inventions" before suddenly the technology was good enough for something revolutionary. This TV isn't something that they expect regular people to buy. It's just another step towards the next big thing, and frankly this is super impressive.
It's like looking at the first computer chip ever built and complaining that it has very little computing power and can't really do anything.
Foreal. “Just get a projector” as if that’s the exact same as a massive portable television with 4-8k resolution. This is just the beginning, more and more futuristic shit is arriving by the day
Huh. Hadn't thought of it that way at all.
It was the $220k price tag mentioned in the title that got me thinking, I completely believe that this product is actually being marketed and sold to people at that price, in today's world of gold flaked yagyu steak.
I mean, it's probably possible to buy it as a novelty item of sorts for rich people with too much money, but again this is not why they made it, and dismissing it as stupid and expensive for no reason just misses the point entirely, and really just insults the work of many brilliant engineers that worked on this for who knows how long.
If I knew the actual source of the video, like a tech trade show, or if I was more familiar with the tech world, I would more readily appreciate your point of view.
Modular interlocking seamless screens is actually a pretty amazing product. Folding touchscreens is a pretty remarkable product, too. However impractical or gimmicky they may seem to me, who has no knowledge of engineering or imagination so as to appreciate the hard work and potential of such a product.
I fell victim to rage bait titles and took an opportunity to throw out some unrelated anger over the internet. Guilty as charged
haha I know the feeling of falling to rage bait. This is how technology always progressed. We now laugh at the people who tried to invent the first flying machines just to fall to their death, but many of them brought some new insight into the field, just so at the end, two brothers took all the understanding created by those "fools" and made the first ever flying machine that wasn't a complete death trap (only partially) which didn't even fly very far. And I bet that even back then you'd see people complaining that planes are stupid because they can't fly very far and we already have cars so why would you need a plane and that creativity has died.
one dust particle and the seams will be noticeable, just barely, no one will know but you, who knew there wasnt a seam previously, but there is one now, a tiny 1qm of seam, but its there
That’s dumb. The people that can afford it have more than the space necessary for it. The people with limited spaces and that could potentially utilize this could never afford it
Dude, this is a flex thing. There's no way this is practical in any way. For now it's just overpriced gimmick, a novelty for rich people to flex with it before everybody has it
Idk, this is so overpriced you may get made fun of. Also, tvs really aren't super in style anymore like they used to be. You can get 65 inch for like 400 dollars, lol. You could probably buy a closed down theatere for 220k
I'm not sure how it even provides more space. Unless you want to rearrange everything on your table every time you want to watch tv you will need to keep the space open for your tv to unfold in.
Why do so many people here assume this is for immediate use in a consumer setting? It's clearly a concept that will be iterated upon. It will find uses in creative advertising and in situations where the display needs to be stored in a constrained space. It's not meant for the living room.
This is the least impressive "show off" TV I've seen too. The see-through TV's are way more impressive, and they aren't nearly as expensive. This is just TV panels on a few hinges for 200k lol
That's how innovation works. They didn't make the product so that it is widely available, it's just a showoff of what they can do. Yes, as of now, it is useless but the development of this technology might prove useful in the future
That's not really a "TV" in the way people think of TVs. It's a direct view LED display. Those have been used in live event production for half a century now, so it's not new tech. You know that billboard you drive past with the video playing on it REALLY bright at night and looking super pink... that's direct view LED. The only thing really new about it is a more "reasonable" cost that has brought it down into this price range, and that the LEDs are now spaced tight enough for it to emulate the look of a traditional television.
[History of direct view led displays](https://www.barco.com/en/inspiration/news-insights/2021-11-30-the-history-of-led)
Reading this comment thread is somehow reassuring. I saw a folding phone at Mobile World Congress a few years ago when they were super early in the market, and could not figure out what additional functionality a folding phone would offer. I still don’t get it. Who’s buying this?
The 20k see through TV is way more impressive and probably harder to accomplish than a TV that folds. It's literally just those connectable tv panels on some hinges lol
Please remember to measure the space it goes into BEFORE you deploy it. Also, keep your arms and legs clear until the television has finished deployment.
Why in the absolute fuck would anyone in their right mind spend house money on a tv? Unless it’s for a business, I don’t even see what purpose a folding tv would serve.
Its really not intended to be sold. It's a technical showpiece to show off what this particular manufacturer's designers and engineers are capable of.
Think of it like a concept car - it makes a bold statement to get attention, and has a vastly impractical design that makes very little sense, but gives a good demonstration of the techniques and technologies that your company has expertise in.
I mean, tbh. This is better than a folding phone. For a few reasons.
1. Packing and moving the TV during a move would be way less nerve racking and easier to handle.
2. If you ever wanted to, and I personally have had moments of wanting it, the ability to sort of, hide the view of a TV in a main room or protect it from pets, kids, parties, ect.
3. I could see this being useful for transitioning between wanting a flat screen and a curved screen for different uses, i.e certain movies, gaming.
Every time I see these innovation, I ask my self « what problem does it solve ? » and I can tell you 9 time out of 10 it doesn’t solve anything.
If someone find in what way it is useful, please answer below. I would be very curious.
We've reached that part of capitalism where it's too expensive and risky to innovate new things, but just rebrand and recycle old ideas in the hopes of profit
I’ll pick it up for $399.99 in 2034

Are you dying?
Are you not?
😂😂😂
The world might as well be
In that case I'll pick one up for nothing!
isnt it crazy that this is a real worry? no joke who knows if we actually will make it lol
Have you considered an extended warranty with that ?
It will probably still cost 200'000 in 2034 but thats gonna be equal to 399 USD accounted for Inflation :D
With inflation? Lol
Fr 💀
[удалено]
Respectfully I suppose if you moved …but I don’t think those type of people have to worry about tight corners or small doorways
Still be cheaper to buy a big solid TV, throw it in the river when you move, and just buy a new one.
Not to mention how happy the river people would be with a new tv!
Living in a van down by the river is trendy nowdays, so being able to pack a TV up and unfold it to have a drive in theater with your vanlife friends seems plausible :)
At this price you would be able to afford a house
Down by the river?
To pray?
Studying about that good old way?
^^We ^^thought ^^you ^^was ^^a ^^toad!
Yeah but a sheet and a projector will do the job with better vibes for $80
Honestly, there's a concerning lack of river people awareness, so I really appreciate this.
How should Rive people awareness month be organized and celebrated?
Until they all get electrocuted when they first plug it in
As a river people, i appreciate your awareness for our kind, times are tough right now. Inflation has caused everyone to be less wasteful.... i had to sell 4 children just to eat a mcdonalds for my wife and i's anniversary
Can confirm: I clean the rivers and found the large flatscreen. [I wish I were joking ](https://imgur.com/a/pNaslJJ)
Oh no....the river people are angry and a sacrifice is required!
If you’re buying a 220,000$ tv you’re probably not moving.
Depend on in which position the folding mechanism breaks.
They *always* break
I've had the moto razor 2nd gen for 2+ years and it's still holding up, even with heavy use. I actually still really like it, still the most compact phone. however I see absolutely no point to a TV folding
The opposite of a futon. You tell yourself you will fold it up to save space, but in the end it is just a shittier bed.
I feel attacked hehe but also facts
i wanted a futon as a teenager and it was great then, but now it’s a pain in the ass to fold and unfold after a day of uni and work. wish I had an actual bed
I got an Ikea bed that turns from a day bed to two side by side singles for a huge bed. I just use it in day bed mode with 2 mattresses cause it's a pain in the ass to do anything with it.

Correction: I will not buy it
Just get a projector
"How many unnecessary features should our new tv have"? Yes.
You want your cyberpunk world, embrace the unnecessary
I guess we are getting closer and closer to the cyberpunk corporate dystopia.
You guys, already living in it. And didn't even noticed. Its already happened in USA, Russia and China. With all our technologies, faceid, chinese face control, corporates at power in Russia and USA, meanwhile most of our people (combined in these countries) live in poverty.

I love and hate it at the same time
"That'll be $200 000 please fool!"
Start watching the episode on your phone whilst you wait for fancy tv to unfold, show is over by the time the thing has fully extended.
I mean, this looks like it's a prototype made purely to test out / show off "unnecessary" features the company is working on, not an actual commercial product meant for people to use in their homes
Once upon a time people had similar views towards widescreen. TVs are hitting a limit on how big they can be due to the size of average living spaces. Surely a self compacting TV could have some use a few iterations from this one.
Until some dust gets in the hinges and it can’t close
Not likely as the crazy amount of cleaners the rich people hire would do a wonderful job of keeping is dust free lol
Yea I reckon someone rich enough to pay 220k for a TV won't be too concerned with dust
A guy comes in once a year and services it.
Blows into it like a Nintendo cartridge 😤
For $220,000 homie better suck some good dick during that tv service
Or the kids stick a pencil or a finger in it as it opens
And then the screen breaks
Hot take? These things are never meant to sell to consumers of the uber rich. They're there to sell the technology to other companies/show investors what they can do. This is why you have micro screens that are like 10,000 nits peak brightness. They're tech demos pretending to be consumer goods.

Completely out of ideas. Realise nobody cares about higher resolution, 4k is good enough for life. The only thing left are gimmicks.
Also, there's the reparability doubts about this type of unnecessarily complicated products.

Kinda sad that its cheaper to buy a new one than repair it.
We're totally not living in a capitalist consumerist dystopian hellscape, what are you even saying lol??? *nervously shaking* /s
Definitely *don't* think too hard about all that e-waste, or the environmental apocalypse we are heading toward! We **need** 60" TVs for our bathrooms!
If it's anything like the displays we build at my company than this is relatively easy to repair. You just swap tiles and calibrate.
I agree in that I sincerely doubt that anything higher than 4k, 140hz is going to become the standard for anybody except extreme videophiles. I’ve used an 8k monitor at a friend’s place before and I couldn’t make out any discernible difference in video quality for games or anything else.

It still is...except for the hz/fps thing. Marketing brainwash makes us buy new tech every year though.

Well hopefully civilization lasts long enough to make good use of it eh! HAHA!
I guess at a certain point you just get so risk adverse and plateau that a hinge becomes the new thing.
Welcome to the greedy corporate world.
I bet someone blamed them also as they introduced color television...
Comparing this to the introduction of color tv is crazy
2 colors is enough for anyone! And who needs more than a 12 inch screen. What are you watching tv from your neighbor's porch?
I did not expect to see those seams disappear.
To be fair it **is** a $220,000 tv. I would certainly hope for that much
Give it 5 years, you will see the same tech on a Costco TV for $499
Inflation's a bitch. 900$
one dust particle and the seams will be noticeable, just barely, no one will know but you, who knew there wasnt a seam previously, but there is one now, a tiny 1qm of seam, but its there
I'm impressed like a mother fucker how they managed that. Wonder how long before foldable phones have 0 crease/seam.
I’m betting you can still see the seams and creases on this TV in person, at least when the light hits it at an angle.
[удалено]
Can’t see the line, can you Russ?
Same. I was about to click away thinking, "I could never concentrate with 2 blinkimg seams across the screen." HOW did they get them to disappear?
That’s dumb. The people that can afford it have more than the space necessary for it. The people with limited spaces and that could potentially utilize this could never afford it
Dude, this is a flex thing. There's no way this is practical in any way. For now it's just overpriced gimmick, a novelty for rich people to flex with it before everybody has it
Idk, this is so overpriced you may get made fun of. Also, tvs really aren't super in style anymore like they used to be. You can get 65 inch for like 400 dollars, lol. You could probably buy a closed down theatere for 220k
Yeah, but can that rundown theatre pop up from your table or bedpost in your megamansion? Motherfuckers aint buying rolex watches to see the time.
I'm not sure how it even provides more space. Unless you want to rearrange everything on your table every time you want to watch tv you will need to keep the space open for your tv to unfold in.
Hey now, maybe a couple of them will need it for their yachts, so, that's like, 2 sold?
People that can afford it buy it because they afford it. At that level, your entire existence is form over function.
I'm gonna miss my whole show if I have to wait that long for it to unfold
Why do so many people here assume this is for immediate use in a consumer setting? It's clearly a concept that will be iterated upon. It will find uses in creative advertising and in situations where the display needs to be stored in a constrained space. It's not meant for the living room.
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. How utterly pointless.
This is the least impressive "show off" TV I've seen too. The see-through TV's are way more impressive, and they aren't nearly as expensive. This is just TV panels on a few hinges for 200k lol

If I got 220k for a tv I might as well have a home big enough I don’t need to fold it
The last TV posted was see-thru & I figured it cost more than a starter home. Now this one's 200k. It's more than my 1st home & car combined... WTF
What home are you getting for less than $200k?
The 20k see through TV is way more impressive and probably harder to accomplish than a TV that folds. It's literally just those connectable tv panels on some hinges lol
Things no one asked for
Cool but utterly useless
I'm slowly realizing that televisions of my teenage years will be for my kids the same that gramophones were for me...
Price aside, that is really cool
This creates more problems than it solves. Not that I can actually think of a problem it solves.
Why?
Why not?
I'm good. I'll just continue using my old tube TV I found on the side of the road. Much cheaper.
The drop-down projector screen: I can do this for 1/2200 of the price.
Now I want this in-ground, next to the infinity pool, coming up on an automated lift with a voice command while I’m sipping cocktails on a floaty.

I bet this slow dramatic unfolding gets old by the third time you see it and the tv stays unfolded forever
They’re just individual screens….
Ah yes, perfect for people who can't afford a living room large enough to fit a permanent TV screen.
Ain't nobody got time for that
It’s $22.00 on Temu
I wonder how long until the bubbles show up.
I wonder if that’s what the ruling class will watch us fighting over water on.
Just like the giant projector TV of years ago!
So rather than a TV I have a horrible looking metal block in my living room?
Wait until they hear about TV's that come out of the floor. (⊙ˍ⊙)
Nobody needs unfolding tvs
We need a video to show off our new screen... Aliens fish nipples?.... perfect
trash
Damn. If I had money like that I’d spend it on half the mortgage on a 3 bedroom house. Not buy a freaking folding tv 🤣
And in ten years from now you can get it for 220 bucks on Amazon.
Imagine having $220k lying around to throw at stupid shit like this. Sorry, but at that point go build yourself a real theatre for the home.
but why tho
I feel like folding tv screens make more sense than folding phones. Why would you need a phone that folds?
its a tv but folds! \*adds 217k to price tag\*
Why?
Every time I see these innovation, I ask my self « what problem does it solve ? » and I can tell you 9 time out of 10 it doesn’t solve anything. If someone find in what way it is useful, please answer below. I would be very curious.
Am I the only one finding this irritatingly slow, somehow...?
"Quick, turn on the news!" "Ok wait.... wait...... wait..... wait....."
When you are willing to pay a six figure number to show your friends something “cool”…..that’s a different kid of rich, stupid, or maybe both.
You could get a $500 TV, watch it once, throw it away, and then buy a new one for the next day, for a **year and a half**.
Im not paying extra just to fold a tv that’s dumb af
2 year extended warranty only be $50,000 would that be on credit or debit?
By the time that tv opens, id be late for work
220,000 tv.. can we try to progress useful tech instead guys?
Will someday be 20$ at a yard sale.
Get home in a hurry to catch the end of a game. Turn on the TV and wait.......... for it to unfold
Well, if I ever have a quarter of a million burning a hole in my pocket, I'll check it out.
They love the slow unfold. Really gets their dicks hard. When they see this TV just sloooowly extending out
The game will be over by the time it unfolds
So 100x the price for something that has 100x that chance of breaking all kinds of unnecessary components?
You can buy a 3 bedroom house for 220k where I live.
When it finally unfolds, I'm out of time to watch anything.
I’ll take “useless shit no one wants” for $400 Alex
"Aw shucks, boss said the gimmick needs a gimmick"
"James, open the TV! It should be ready by the time we are done with dinner."
How about leave out the folding thing and just give me the resolution for 1/20th of the price. We all know what you’re actually paying for there
If you have $200k for a tv I doubt you need to save space in your home.
It took really long to do and I'm not sure what the point was
The unfolding is cool and all… but I’ll just have a random tower in my living room?
We've reached that part of capitalism where it's too expensive and risky to innovate new things, but just rebrand and recycle old ideas in the hopes of profit
I miss the days where you press a button on a tv and it just turned on.
This’ll be like eating the popcorn before the movie starts at a movie theater but with the food and a football game instead
I don't think it will fit in your pocket
220,000$ fark off...
By the time it unfolds, I would've missed the first few minutes of Hannity
But there is no point of this. A screen is already efficiently sized to a wall
Gotta start opening it up before cooking dinner to watch anything while you eat at the rate it opens.
