• Around £290,000, cseed.tv

MicroLED is here, and it’s completely out-of-its-gourd crazy. The C Seed M1 takes advantage of every one of the new screen tech’s core features to create a TV the likes of which we’ve never seen before and will (unless something very strange happens) never see in our own homes: this folding, expanding hideaway TV is a feat of engineering as much as it is a leap in innovation. It’s the sort of TV you build a room around – quite literally, given that it’s supposed to emerge from a mechanised hole in your floor and unfurl its 165-inch panel automatically, then tuck itself back into the floor when it’s done.

The M1 pulls off that feat by using MicroLED’s unique ability to form completely edge-to-edge screens, aligning them by way of a machined metal structural frame and ensuring the joins aren’t visible using what C Seed calls Adaptive Gap Calibration, essentially detecting any offsets
