Video: World’s largest outdoor LED TV.

The ‘C Seed 201’ is a 201 inch diagonal (5 meters!) backlit monster of a display, which stores away underground in a waterproof shaft. At the press of a finger on the remote control’s fingerprint scanner, the unit rises up and unfolds the screen, which can be rotated up to 270 degrees.

Some reports put the cost of the unit at around half a million Euros, although as the saying goes, “if you have to ask, you probably can’t afford it”.

Now this is a home theater.
