C SEED has released a 165-inch folding MicroLED 4K TV called the M1. It can store itself in the floor when not in use, but with such interesting engineering, few would want to hide such a work of art. It uses patented Adaptive Gap Calibration Technology to create a seamless, foldable screen without visible gaps. Factor in its HDR10+ support, and viewers are in for a treat. It features two 250-watt speakers and a 700-watt subwoofer but also has support for 11.2 external audio. Those interested in purchasing one will need pockets deeper than it can fold, however: TechRadar reports it costs around $400,000.

This is why I'm waiting for Samsung's micro LED TV's. In a couple years OLED will be dead and phased out, just like plasma.

Samsung is doing their version of OLED first I believe; everyone (literally) is working micro LEDs, but cost remains stratospheric.

And as it stands, OLED is cheap enough for TV sizes to be 'disposable'. You probably won't get CRT lifetimes out of them but a decade should be easy. Smaller ones are being made and prices of those will come down soon too.


I can't really say I get the purpose of 'folding' or 'rolling' displays just yet though. I get the basic convenience and aesthetic advantages, just not the disadvantages of bleeding edge tech, more moving parts, and so on.
 
What I like about micro leds is the potential to "upgrade" your tv from say a 50" 4k to 100" 8k or somewhere inbetween. Or go ultra wide

Samsung is not doing OLED. Their latest TV's are still quantum dot filters, but now with mini-LED full array back lighting. Micro LED is their next step in TV's.

I'd thought that they were working on QD-OLED.

Of course we get deep into the technical differentiations between these technologies pretty quickly when trying to square what they 'are' with their marketing names, and Samsung usually makes it ten times worse (i.e., "QLED").

QLED is QD-LED. It's just their quantum dot filtering on their current sets. They had it back in 2014-2018 with what they called SUHD. Same shtuff, different name.

Yup, my impression was that they were trying to use Quantum Dots with an OLED-like arrangement, and with the QDs simplifying the burdens of the light sources themselves, supposedly improving on LGs implementation all around.

This is what I heard as well

Yeah, I looked that up. It caught my eye too when posting this. Couldn't find reeally clear documentation on what they're referencing but it is a thing. Evidently not uncommon for outdoor displays(which C1 Seed specializes in) and advertising displays.
