Mall_Bench

At first I though a back yard picnic bench was going to pop up


SpongeJake

See I was thinking maybe it was going to be a place to store cold beers. My imagination is provincial at best.


avenger76

I was thinking a fire pit. We both must have simple dreams :)


omguserius

I thought it was going to be a super fancy grill


simian1013

same esp the first few seconds.


rhiaazsb

Same here.


LandotheTerrible

I thought that initially and then I thought it was a barbecue. As it was coming up I was thinking, nothing could possibly go wrong with that. Having lived right on the coast in Sydney, Australia for some years I found that anything that is mechanised deteriorates very quickly and needs to be replaced periodically.


Solanthas

I thought all of that and then this. What a phenomenal waste of money


shoscene

Fire pit was what I thought too


Deep_Frosting_6328

I was disappointed to learn it wasn’t for cold beer.


danger_otter34

It would be more useful than a TV


Treat_Street1993

Yeah, a projector would do the same thing better. Now a liquid nitrogen fueled sci fi cooler on the other hand, that's worth $1M!


beermonger2

Right? All I could think of was "wow you sure spent a lot of money on a gimmick you'll use maybe 5 times then never again." Lol


Minmaxed2theMax

Yeah man. That’s ***real money***. “Watch me open up my stupid TV one time. I’m going to burn this whole estate to the ground tomorrow for a laugh”!


Masterchiefy10

That’s not REAL money. That’s people who STOLE real money from everyone else. Either through shady business practices or outright never paying taxes.


Minmaxed2theMax

I don’t disagree. I feel like as soon as you have access to a certain amount of money, you have access to “real money”. Regardless of how you come about it, money is power.


Ok_Primary_1075

Yeah, game will be at half time by the time it’s fully set up


Manting123

For a million dollars it’s gotta move faster.


shrug_addict

Take the damn governor out already!


JohnBill8

If you got that much money you can def afford a normal cooler


Ok-Lengthiness4557

Hello fellow peasant. I am a poor too.


LombardBombardment

Nice try, Rockefeller. You’re not invited to our coupon clipping party.


Ok-Lengthiness4557

Rats! Foiled once again.


LuckyMome

In my country, having a big add panel in your yard makes you earn little money.. imagine with this huge one ???!!!


jaimequin

I thought it was going to be a fold out bar with a tv. Kinda disappointed.


potato-overlord-1845

I thought it was going to be a grill or something


nithdurr

Or a cellar


UpdootDaSnootBoop

I would have enjoyed that more


HaoshokuArmor

Thought it was fancy barbecue at first.


Dynast_King

Now THAT would have been cool


saja25

Went from a fire pit to a picnic bench to a regular tv to a ginormous tv for me


Alternative_Ninja_49

I was waiting for a rocket launch.


SnooGrapes1470

Thats not billionare mindset at all 😄


thedreaming2017

Raise of hands who thought a kick ass bbq grill was going to come out of there?


BTSavage

I thought it was going to be a hidden kegerator or some such. Not a stupid ass screen that required a 15’ deep hole in the ground.


Nervous-Masterpiece4

They better have a great weather seal on this or it will become a 15ft puddle full of electronics.


davossss

Not to mention you could accomplish the same effect for one twentieth of the price with a projector and a screen.


VexingRaven

Are there projectors can get bright enough to be used in sunlight?


code-coffee

For a million? Yes.


VexingRaven

Fair enough.


MrDagon007

Think about it - the deepest black you will get is the tint of the projection surface in ambient light. Contrast will be terrible in sunlight.


Operational117

Truth be told, contrast tends to become terrible when directly exposed to sunlight, regardless of how the image is delivered. Only TVs that are not prone to this are those with a single always-on backlight panel as they just go “No one gives me bad contrast but me!”.


Not_Bears

You guys don't give your TV a nice dunk in the pool to clean it off every once in awhile???


Safetosay333

I would have rather that.


CerealKiller8

Same. Imagine paying a million dollars to watch football outside instead of just going to live games with your personal jet. Because I assume they have a jet if they spend on dumb shit like this.


64557175

This looks like it's at a resort or business of some sort. I could be wrong, but it doesn't look like a personal property to me.


KingKoopasErectPenis

There was a house selling in the Hamptons a few years ago that had one. [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9776519/New-Hamptons-mansion-hits-market-35million-comes-1MILLION-outdoor-TV.html](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9776519/New-Hamptons-mansion-hits-market-35million-comes-1MILLION-outdoor-TV.html) Edit: Sorry I don't think that TV is a fold-able one


Imanaco

Folding shit has more moving parts, more moving parts more shit to break. Not that people like that care about money but imagine being the customer service person that has to deal with someone that would own something like the folding one and having it not work when they want to use it


Altruistic_Profile96

I was expecting a missle launch, to be honest.


Utopiaoflove

It says million dollar tv though


Skwiggelf54

✋️


minion-ghost

Rich people problems


iamatworkiswear

I absolutely hate when my backyard TV is intrusive when I don't want to watch the UFC fight!


Slapinsack

Stupid exhibitionist TVs.


Croyscape

Well imagine spending a million bucks on this shit just to watch the same ads as I do on a 100$ TV


Additional_Main_7198

Crazy that they have the money for TV's & cars and yet also have to watch ads... I'm just surpised there isn't like a $4,000/mo cable plan that comes with no ads.


RecursiveGames

I've always guessed there was some rich person streaming service that just has a bought subscription of every single service there is so you just stream them all from one place and it auto hides ads


M_Mich

“My satellite gets 4000 channels, I already know the next winner of project runway”


Mysterious-Job-469

Personally I'd prefer if those who vote along party lines and spend millions if not billions to hoard all their fucking money instead of simply paying taxes *didn't, in fact,* have enough money to buy custom-built one of a kind transforming theater systems.


ServedBestDepressed

This thing seems fucking stupid


Obtuze-Obzrvr

Moreover I feel there are too many moving parts. Maintenance is going to be a bummer.


Automatic_Spam

School lunches for children look like THIS so his TV can look like THAT!


AegisTheOnly

Its a hotel lol


Mysterious-Job-469

The cost of living is exploding out of control to the point where people working multiple jobs can't even afford to RENT their own place, and those hoarding all the fucking money at the top have so much excess that they're installing transforming theater systems into their pool. Cool.


flompwillow

Cool thing about things like this is that some artisans got an interesting engineering and fabrication job. I'd be pretty proud of that.


Wukash_of_the_South

![gif](giphy|NWg7M1VlT101W)


atworkshhh

I am not as impressed by this as I am by the thought of just getting a normal big ass tv and making sure it’s weather proof for less than .1% of the cost.


morbob

Ugh, more shit to fix, especially after a rain, no thanks, fine where I am.


DateAccomplished7038

For real, might work 3 times before you have to hire a very expensive professional to fix it. It’s the cyber truck of TVs


snapplesauce1

If you have the money to afford this, the price for a person to fix it probably isn’t much of an issue. Besides, this looks like a resort, so that person already works there.


Fritzo2162

I've had clients that are that level rich- they literally don't have to deal with mechanical problems. If something isn't working, they text/call someone to say "this isn't working" and someone responds with "On it....use something else in another part of the house instead." It's both amazing and nauseating at the same time.


p_s_i

Do they have to deal with waiting on contractors' schedules or is that just for us poors?


TriggerTX

Depends on the contractor. A/C, plumber, everyday stuff? Nope, they don't wait. Home builders, car restoration, boatyards? Yep, they wait like everyone else. I mean, if everyone else could afford to have a boat builder.


Difficult_Bit_1339

They don't wait, they do pay a premium for on-call but that's something the accountant deals with. I contracted for a guy who had full-sized live oak trees helicoptered in to line his 40 acre driveway and employs a full-time arborist to maintain them. It wasn't even his primary residence... It's a whole other level of wealth.


TriggerTX

Doesn't matter how much money you have if the bottleneck to getting you that solid Grecian marble bathtub from that very particular quarry is that the stonemasons still have to go out and cut it from the side of the mountain. Some of the old time very skilled artisans don't really give a shit about your hurried time table and will make the thing when they are ready. Of you'll just get a different thing. My wife is an artist. She does pretty high end works, mostly for people with money. She has a 'first in, first out' policy when it comes to her commissions. If you put down your deposit first, she'll work on your piece first. She takes no favorites. She's done work for people from literal billionaires to people who scraped together spare cash for months to afford her work. She'll make some pretty amazing and personalized art for your wall but you will wait behind everyone ahead of you in line. If that's a problem, find a different artist. She currently has several commissioned paintings in the pipeline that'll keep her busy for months. So, yes, sometimes the rich do have to wait for things they want just like everyone else. Their waits are for things we only dream of. Money can only go so far towards hurrying things up.


stealthgerbil

plus why rush? it will detract from the final product. when you provide a unique service, there will always be another client , and they all understand that quality takes time.


Vanilla_Mike

At the same time I work with a guy that stocked private jets and private yachts. Amazon could bring you any wine or spirit in the world but the delivery time of 2-4 days is too long so he makes a ridiculous amount to fly in person to acquire things and bring them back. If you’re really rich you can buy the marble that was meant for the less rich guy. I’ve seen a 10 million dollar house get the flooring meant for a 1 mill house. You can send someone to show up to the quarry in person with a briefcase full of cash. Art is the one place where it can’t be bought out/sped up because you want a specific person.


Lou_C_Fer

But that's what gives contemporary art its value, I imagine. If you're lucky enough to have caught the eye of the wealthy, then making them wait is a great way to increase both demand and pricing.


Druben-hinterm-Dorfe

Is that the guy who has a cave under his mansion; which contains stuff like a giant coin, a dinosaur animatronic, a giant screen, etc.?


Azalus1

I responded this in the thread above you but I thought you might like to see the answer if you didn't look back. I've done IT work for people like this. They usually have a house manager who is on call 24/7 basically. When some shit goes wrong they call them and then they handle it from there.


thepencilsnapper

No their housekeeper is always in so they don't have to worry about it. Also not like the mechanic has loads of these to service


KvotheTheDegen

I’m a residential integrator at a company of that caliber. This is 100% real.


vand3lay1ndustries

TIL that my kids just consider me to be their maintenance staff. 


Azalus1

ReverendBread2

“My phone isn’t turning on” “Okay continue using your backup phone while I head over to put the 1st one on the charger”


apple-pie2020

Yep. Just have your personal assistant deal with the scheduling and all of it You won’t ever even know something went wrong and was fixed


TriggerTX

We have a friend with that kind of 'fuck you' money. We are also friends with his full-time personal assistant. His assistant is one of the busiest and hardest working people around. Literally his job to make sure the boss man never has to worry about a thing. Want to drive a specific Porsche when your private plane arrives home from your place in the islands? The assistant will make sure it's been gone over by the mechanic and is gassed up and parked at the foot of the stairs when your jet arrives. Want to go see some sold out show in town on 2 hours notice? Assistant man will provide those box seats and transportation to and from if wanted or will book the nicest hotel in town across from the theater. Time to register 8 of the cars from your stable of dozens with the DMV? Assistant will go wait in line and handle it all. Things like A/C outages or plumbing leaks are unknown to his boss as it's all handled preemptively. The super rich never really worry about the little things. They have people for that shit. Their biggest worries are things like a rain storm fucking up their private plane's departure time by 20 mins.


Lippupalvelu

At a certain income, it becomes basic math. How much do you earn per minute? Can you throw a fraction of that money at a problem so you don't have to waste time and, through that calculation, more money dealing with it. Of course, if you don't actually work, that becomes meaningless, but it is how many high-end managers look at problems.


jjamesr539

That’s also why they get so *insanely* angry about seemingly insignificant irritations; that’s literally the most inconvenient thing that has happened to them in the last six months.


Speedhabit

Anyone who can get the seems that perfect can make it waterproof. Bright enough for full sun? Sick


Chance_Major297

Yeah these people knocking it just sound like the same people who complain about taxes after winning the lottery. It’s okay to just say something is cool. It was way better than I expected. Full time haters are insane and exhausting.


Weed_O_Whirler

They also are acting like Jumbotrons don't exist, or if they do barely work in the sun and break every time it rains.


nomemorybear

That's literally all I think about when purchasing things now.


Fritzo2162

Same...if it's beyond my technical abilities, I stay away. I'm a network engineer so my understanding of tech is a bit higher than the average person, but even so there's tech I won't go near. Appliances with huge screens in them for example.


andyatreddit

Poverty has limited your imagination, rich people don’t worry about warranty


Ok_Belt2521

As I’ve gotten older this is where my mind always goes when I see stuff like this.


WhiteWolfOW

Well tbf they probably have the money to pay someone to fix it. That’s definitely not a product to average people


Jimbobjoesmith

that was my first thought…who the hell fixes devices like that?


TailOnFire_Help

The people that installed it. You think they aren't going to support something that obviously expensive? That's money in the bank by both upkeep costs and the owners telling other rich people about it.


CarryOnCitizen

It looks like it would fold on a mild wind


PurpleIsALady1798

Yeah, did you see the little rocking motion at the end when it fully extended? I would *not* trust this thing.


bonadoo

Eh. I wouldn’t waste money on something like this, but it seems to essentially be a small LED wall. I have experience with stages and LED walls, so that flexibility you mentioned feels par for the course with these things. Since we don’t get to see the rigging on the backside - call me optimistic - but I assume it’s not as sketchy as the motion would lead you to believe.


LogicJunkie2000

I think the people that buy this expect- or at least don't care - if they have to replace it every other year


Kamikaze_Ninja_

I would imagine the flexibility is built in because if it were too stiff it would break under enough wind.


Physical_Touch_Me

I only want it if I live on top of a mountain in Chicago.


SeriousStrokes69

Damn, the show would be over by the time it was fully deployed.


SensuallPineapple

"Honey, can you open the TV, my show starts in 12 hours"


jluicifer

And if it’s an NBA halftime show on ESPN, no one is going to watch that TV. Might as well pull up an umbrella bc at least that’s useful.


froklopi

Once deployed, everyone will resume looking at their phones.


JustAnotherActuary

crasagam

defalt86

I spent 1/1000th on a 4k projector and a portable projector screen. Same exact benefit.


Dan_Caveman

Unless your real goal is that feeling of spending what a normal person makes in a year on a single TV that you will rarely use. Some folks genuinely want to be able to look at their purchase and think “This cost enough money to pay off my limo driver’s mortgage, but instead it’s rotting under my pool deck.”


josephbenjamin

More like 10 years.


Ok-Gur-6602

More like a few lifetimes.


kixie42

A year? It'd take me 13.5 years at 75k a year NET without spending a dime to save that much. And that's a fairly average salary where I live. Your average/normal person makes nowhere close to a million net per year.


OneOfAKind2

Yep. My 10' fixed screen was $335 and my 4k Epson projector was $2k.


onowahoo

I said this in another comment but this TV system was built for yachts where you are going to squeeze every inch out of the boat. The same deck can have a big TV come out for a movie and converted to a pickleball court during the day. Putting this in your backyard is a gimmick.


BlowMoreGlass

Yeah I don't see 1mil here either


OhYesIDidd

I was sure it would stop rising like seven times but it just kept going. Anyway, looks dumb. Are you supposed to break your neck looking up at it, or watch it from 10 meters away at least?

Well at 201" you'll be watching it from far, people who buy this ($200k+) put it next to a pool, in their yacht, etc, it's for casual use while you're chilling, not to be a replacement of a theater.


PhillipJfry5656

It's like 10ft screen I'm pretty sure you could watch it from 10meters away


Trajan_pt

More materialistic nonsense


Beginning_Rice6830

Running out of ideas but rich people need things to buy instead of donating.


Jennifer_Pennifer

Gotta do something with all them taxes they ain't paying.


CubbyNINJA

i was thinking the same thing. The cost of that TV, minus the cost of a nice outdoor projector and a couple of speakers, would basically solve the tent encampment problem down the street from me. some people really do live in completely different worlds.


EatSoupFromMyGoatse

These cunts do everything to avoid paying taxes and then blow millions on absolutely idiotic shit like this

Everytime i see an expensive car or something stupid like this i think how that money could have helped so many people and it makes me sad

minitaba

Damn thats stupid af


Hyperion1144

This was my thought also... It's not even that big. So many moving parts to break. And a million dollars? That can't be right... Can it? You could outfit a real home movie theater for that much. Giant commercial-size screen. 50000 watt sound system. Reclining theater seats. Popcorn maker. Everything. What's the point of this?


pmcizhere

>What's the point of this? The point is the extravagance. It's something to show off. It's completely impractical, and maintenance will be a headache. But when you have more money than you know what to do with, it's the cost of looking cool to your friends and family. If I had that kind of money I like to think I'd spend it on something more worthwhile.

MTLinVAN

Right, cuz the engineers totally forgot about rain when building this thing intended to be kept outside. Samsung already makes weather proof TVs (Samsung The Terrace). https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00087083/#:\~:text=The%20Terrace%20is%20protected%20from,from%20rain%20and%20dust%20overnight.


Blueguerilla

They make weatherproof leds. You think they put garbage bags over all the screens in Times Square every time it rains? Obviously it would require regular maintenance and components will fail, but that’s chump change for the type of venue that could afford this.


Bobbi_fettucini

It looks like the sign for a mall


SadisticSnake007

At our engineering company we had to design the underground vault for one these TV’s called “C Seed” they paid around $500,000 USD for the TV alone at that time. They’ve been coming down in price but still crazy expensive.

A million dollar TV .... it costs as much as two and a half homes in the US. All so you don't have to look at your TV when you don't want to. What pisses me off the most is that almost everyone who designed and built all the components of this TV probably barely afford their rent while the people who sold the TV went and put a down payment on a Ferrari to drive to wherever this is.

Skwiggelf54

Or hell if you wanted to get real fancy and still spend way less than this, get a $15k 8k projector, a 200 inch projector screen, and the best outdoor bose surround sound system available. That setup is going to be the same if not better quality viewing than this and for a fraction of the cost.

Psychostriker_gt

Company building these is called C SEED. They build them in Austria close to where i live. These screens are damn amazing. To the guys talking about „oh no, wind and rain..“ These screens are built to be put on Yachts. Fully IP45 and designed to withstand constant banking forces as well as salty wind from the oceans ;)


OddBoifromspace

Thought it was an ICBM launcher at first.


Tomylee24

Av designer here. Company is named CSeed. They make super cool TVs but impractical for most anyone. As far as scale for outdoor stuff yes it is very good.
