(From The Hollywood Reporter) – As a new wave of viewing technology hits big-
screen TVs — including radically higher definition and richer lighting systems — the market suddenly is rolling out televisions that are getting supersized to home-theater proportions. And that’s not the only tube news: Manufacturers also are converting
TVs into the ultimate landscaping statement — yes, a monster outdoor TV from
Porsche Design Studio is about to start sprouting in backyards the world over.

The C SEED 201 Jumbotron stands a staggering 15 feet tall, offers a 201-inch LED screen and hydraulically disappears into your yard when not in use. It has an equally gargantuan price tag: $700,000. That’s not counting installation, which could run $300,000.
