Let’s be honest for a moment. You might own a beautiful, high-end TV from Samsung, Sony, or LG — and yet, deep down, it still feels a little… boring. Now imagine this instead: your TV rising silently from the floor, unfolding piece by piece like a mechanical sculpture straight out of a sci-fi blockbuster.
If that image made you pause for a second, you’re not alone. Meet the C-Seed folding TV, created in collaboration with Porsche Design — a piece of technology that feels less like a screen and more like a futuristic event. Just be warned: this kind of drama comes at a very serious price.

A TV That Costs More Than Three Porsche 911s
Before you start planning where to place it in your majlis, here’s the reality check. This television costs more than buying three brand-new Porsche 911 Carrera models.
With a 911 Carrera starting at around $135,500, the C-Seed Porsche Design TV climbs to nearly $400,000, or about 1.5 million Saudi Riyals. Yes — one and a half million riyals… for a television. Not a car. Not a house upgrade. A TV.
When a Screen Becomes a Show
Sold under the N1 and M1 names, these displays are not meant to blend quietly into a living room. When turned off, the screen lies flat, looking like a sleek, futuristic cabinet. Press one button, and the real show begins.
The base rotates upright, and then five MicroLED panels (or seven panels in the outdoor version) slowly unfold with hypnotic precision. It’s the kind of motion you’d expect from a movie prop, not home electronics.
Once fully open, the screen delivers rich, vibrant colors, a brightness of up to 1,000 nits, and a built-in high-performance sound system. No messy cables. No external speakers. Just clean, minimalist luxury — very Porsche, even without four wheels.
From Palaces to Superyachts
Size? This thing doesn’t believe in modesty. Indoor versions start at 103 inches and stretch all the way to an outrageous 221 inches. Outdoor models are weather-resistant and can even disappear into an underground compartment when not in use.
And because there’s always someone asking “can it go further?”, yes — there’s a version designed specifically for ultra-luxury superyachts. Because apparently, watching Netflix at sea should feel like a Bond villain experience.
ArabGT’s Take
With 1.5 million Saudi Riyals, you could fill your garage with serious sports cars — or you could own what might be the most over-the-top TV ever made. For billionaires, it’s just another luxury accessory. For the rest of us, the real pleasure comes from watching the folding mechanism in action… for free… on the internet.
So here’s the real question:
If you had 1.5 million SAR ($400,000) in your pocket, would you buy a real Porsche GT3 RS, or would you install this sci-fi Porsche TV in your home?
