Most users still haven't managed to get a 4K monitor or TV due to budget, but we know there are people out there with the advantage of having removed the "money factor" from their equation. For them, Austrian company C Seed offers its new model C Seed 262. With a 6.65-meter diagonal and nearly 800 kilograms in weight, this TV automatically qualifies as the largest of its kind, covering an entire wall without a hitch.
The industry has chosen a new standard: 4K reproduction at 60 frames per second. All developments point in that direction, and both hardware and software are slowly reaching the necessary level. I say slowly because the transition is not easy. The average 4K monitor costs around 300 euros, a sum any enthusiast would rather invest in components. Add to that the limited availability of 4K content, and I think there's no rush. However, there are always those willing to challenge the limits and have the latest of the latest. In the past we've seen monitors that are true spaceships, but if we move to televisions, what model crushes everything in its path?
A closer look at the C Seed 262
A solid candidate is the C Seed 262. Without a doubt, it is the largest 4K TV on the planet, with 262 inches or 6.65 meters diagonal. Its effective resolution is 4,096 by 1,716 pixels, not the traditional 4K, but the DCI 4K 'CinemaScope Cropped' standard with a 2.39:1 aspect ratio (more than seven million pixels). This TV reportedly has two audio variants: one with six speakers and the other with ten, delivering 9.1 support. It has an integrated 4K server, four HDMI ports (two inputs, one output, and one 4K input), two USB ports, a serial port, four audio outputs (three XLR and one BNC), and an RJ45 network connector. Its total weight is 798 kilograms, and consumption is around 2.85 kilowatts.
Price and availability
Those adventurers who laugh at money and need the C Seed 262 in their lives will have to pay $539,000, followed by another $38,500 for installation. Let's say that in some regions of the globe, a person could retire with that money, or alternatively, buy a couple of properties.
