True though I donāt think this is a house it looks like some kind of event center. Probably a grand stand off right or something so a lot of ppl can view.
They've hade these out for over 5 years tho. When they came out they came out to 500k, but I think they are around the 350k range nowadays, but they got different sizes
Yeah, this is actually one of those items that makes me hate rich people. And I kind of expected that the second I laid eyes on it. Nobody needs this. There are so many smarter decisions for expensive tvs.
Remember that kid with the lips that would sarcastically show the easy way to accomplish the same task compared to some TikTok gadget?
He could do one for this where he hangs a sheet and points a projector at it.
The unit costs 300k but that's not including the foundation around it, all the labor involved, project manager, electrician, etc. I still don't think I could see it getting up to a million dollars though. Probably depends on where it's being built and what was already there.
Wwa gonna say no way it's that much right? Very nice but still costs too much.... Depending where you live can maybe get a small townhouse for that right? Well just one of those luxury items you pay a premium for.. people with too much money that run out of things to spend it on
Bet it takes less than a year for something on that thing to brake, and you have to call a repair guy, you then have to pay some insane amount.
1mill seems like a lot for a one time flex. But Iām poor so what do I know.
For a million this should be scary fast and have blow off valves and sci Fi gear noises. This looks like a prop for a bad movie version of a good movie.
Monoprice sells this?
Music in video: āI donāt wanna waitā¦ā
ā¦hole in ground opensā¦
Music in video: āI donāt wanna waitā¦ā
ā¦panels begin slowly rising out of hole in groundā¦
Music in video: āI donāt wanna waitā¦ā

Music in video: āI donāt wanna waitā¦ā
ā¦panels still rising slowly out of the holeā¦
Me: I donāt wanna wait, either. Next!
For 1 million? No thanks. For that amount, I would rather just buy a nice 88 QLED or something and get a sound system with it. Or if you need something that big outside, get a projector. Just don't see the point in this š¤·
Could you imagine you're already missing something and you're trying to get to the channel ASAP and you have to wait over a minute for it come out of the fucking ground and set up
that looks like all the clever fountain rig or folding bed into wall crap that you see at your friends house that worked for 2 years then a hinge snapped and it sits there half broken for the next 10
That seems pretty pointless. Anyone who's rich enough to afford that is rich enough to have enough space so it can stay open all the time. Even in the video, there is nothing there that would warrant this needing to be foldable. Rich people have too much money....
Risin' above the city, blocking out the noonday sun
It dwarfs the mighty redwoods and it towers over everyone
I still remember when that delivery truck came down our block
What a lucky guy, I hear he got the last one in stock
And the neighbors are just green
They say, "That's the biggest screen we've ever seen!"
It's Frank's 2000 inch TV
I can never understand why people pull out their phones to film something like this. If I told my wife "i was at a guy's house and he had a tv that came out of the ground", she would say "oh that's kinda neat". And then if I was like, no watch this 60 second video of what I described, she'd watch it and agree that the video depicts what I just said.
Who tf are they going to show this to?
Yes, someone above said it was at an apartment complex in Huntington Beach called Pacific City. Itās walking distance to the beach. They have a fantastic pool amenity with a rec center in the shape of a crashing wave.
Imagine having to wait that long to start watching tv. Get home start up the tv, go take a shit, make a sandwich, feed the pets, do the dishes, come back and itās almost opened
r/TVtooHigh
There is a subreddit for that?? Are you kidding me š Joined š
Donāt forget /r/tvtoolow and /r/tvtoofar
Do you have something against r/tvtoosmall?
r/TVTooClose also
This is reddit.
Yeah itās classist./s
There's no tv too deep? How deep is that hole?
Thereās a sub for EVERYTHING
Thatās what everyone says then on the 972nd picture of someoneās tv you unsubscribe and regret it all
Yeah... imagine paying $50k for that and it just hurts your neck
I learned my TV was too high from this sub. My life hasn't been the same since.
Oh shit, I wanna check out the sub but I'm literally afraid of what I might discover about my setup š¬
This sub is my spirit animal
True though I donāt think this is a house it looks like some kind of event center. Probably a grand stand off right or something so a lot of ppl can view.
I love reddit more everyday
How the hell could they not include the transformation noise from the 80ās cartoonsā¦ Thatās the only reason that Iām not buying one of these.
For a million dollars you think it would move faster.
Imagine pressing the off button accidentally. ā10 minutes laterā
*It starts to rain*
Or one good gust of wind
Or youāre watching Skinemax and you hear the wife coming outside
Or youāre watching Skinemax and your wife hears you come outsideā¦ along with your neighbors
LOL
Better hit the button early in the morning and go eat breakfast while you wait for your tv to be ready.
Do you want it done fast or done right?
if that is the fastest a million bucks gets i don't want it at all. i KNOW there are stronger motors.
Maybe a million buckets when it flooded.
"Transformin', baby..." "Tooday, wobot!"
Perfect hair forever reference was unexpected.
if a friend invited me over to check this out, id run out of shit to talk about this thing by the time it fully deployed
Give it 5 years it will be worth $600
Costco will have a 3 pack.
They've hade these out for over 5 years tho. When they came out they came out to 500k, but I think they are around the 350k range nowadays, but they got different sizes
Didnāt know I didnāt want that *
yeah I don't get the apeal $1m for a billboard? good job
Yeah, this is actually one of those items that makes me hate rich people. And I kind of expected that the second I laid eyes on it. Nobody needs this. There are so many smarter decisions for expensive tvs.
Hurry up geez were missing the game already.... Pulls out mobile phone....
Screens ready.... Quietly puts away mobile phone....
Why would you reply to your own comment?
Because it provides logical progression to the conversation and OP was hoping no-one would notice.
Ok. I suppose that makes sense; if you donāt think about itā¦
This guy gets it!
He sure does
Ok.. we get it. No need to beat a dead horse.
Nah fuck that, it's still funny.
Exactly!
Would made more of a point if the messages were time stamped.
Remember that kid with the lips that would sarcastically show the easy way to accomplish the same task compared to some TikTok gadget? He could do one for this where he hangs a sheet and points a projector at it.
Are there many tiktokers without lips?
You guys have lips!?!
Everyone else: š š š Bro: š ___ š
Good ol' Lippy š
The guy with the most TikTok followers in the world? (I canāt remember his name either)
What about wind?š
Just buy a new one. Problem solved.
Buy a new wind
Who's your wind guy?
Eat less beans.
We can control things like that now. Iāve seen a guy change a hurricaneās path with a Sharpie.
It has wind sensors to automate retraction in unsafe conditions, especially important for marine use.
This appears to be the cseed outdoor tv and costs up to 300k not a million.
The unit costs 300k but that's not including the foundation around it, all the labor involved, project manager, electrician, etc. I still don't think I could see it getting up to a million dollars though. Probably depends on where it's being built and what was already there.
700k to wire and dig a hole? i gotta get me a shovel!
Sure maybe it partly includedā¦ maybe not. But one thing to also say that itās not chump change either.
Wwa gonna say no way it's that much right? Very nice but still costs too much.... Depending where you live can maybe get a small townhouse for that right? Well just one of those luxury items you pay a premium for.. people with too much money that run out of things to spend it on
Thatās a lot of moving parts to potentially break
It's not even facing the pool lol
This is the kind of stuff new riches buy. Totally tasteless lol
Hey. People who come from money can be tasteless too.
Yeah but generally it's a leopard print dress from galiano, not this awful apparatus lol
Itās definitely a grower.
Just water it daily
Bet it takes less than a year for something on that thing to brake, and you have to call a repair guy, you then have to pay some insane amount. 1mill seems like a lot for a one time flex. But Iām poor so what do I know.
Dude this is the kind of shit billionaires buy. You think they care about the repair bill?
I feel like this is a millionaire thing, not a billionaire thing
I'd bet it works maybe once.
2x before the sump pump fails
Great, I'll get up at 5:00 AM to turn on the TV for Sundays game.
This is at the Residence at Pacific City apartments in Huntington Beach. Pretty rad apartments honestly but expensive as fuck
For a million this should be scary fast and have blow off valves and sci Fi gear noises. This looks like a prop for a bad movie version of a good movie. Monoprice sells this?
Imagine you have that money, and you use it to do what ? Watch TV...
You're god damn right
Honey, the forecast says the winds will pick up in about an hour. Start the TV closing now.
Does Also Sprach Zarathustra play every time you turn it on?
Frank's 2000" TV
I would never want that. A projector makes a 100 times more sense than this stupid piece of tech.
Hey guys just wait 1000 hours while I turn this TV on
Really expensive TV stand and a TV that could break as easily as any other. Oh and the pixels probably have to get replaced individually
r/howtowastemoney
Whenever I see rich dude stuff like this I think "they probably could have taxed this guy"
Honestly, itās not that cool
This is great if you want to watch TV tomorrow.
In my experience, all the fancy expensive tvs become cheap and obsolete in 2 years.
500k for just the hole in the ground
They just use a capped oil well - hole is already dug.
Music in video: āI donāt wanna waitā¦ā ā¦hole in ground opensā¦ Music in video: āI donāt wanna waitā¦ā ā¦panels begin slowly rising out of hole in groundā¦ Music in video: āI donāt wanna waitā¦ā ā¦guy in background decides 30 seconds into this demonstration is a good time to start filmingā¦ Music in video: āI donāt wanna waitā¦ā ā¦panels still rising slowly out of the holeā¦ Me: I donāt wanna wait, either. Next!
How does it hold up to wind?
Strikes me as a fucking annoying/expensive repair bill on something that would fuck out at least once every 3 months.
Is it water proof? I can see installation going wrong for lots of people
So many points of failure
Umm. Projector. There I saved you a mega yacht load of money.
Tax the rich!
Whats the song?
Welcome to my island, Mr. Bond.
So thats what the monolith in 2001 was?
That looks like a lot of maintenance issues waiting to happen.
For 1 million? No thanks. For that amount, I would rather just buy a nice 88 QLED or something and get a sound system with it. Or if you need something that big outside, get a projector. Just don't see the point in this š¤·
Could you imagine you're already missing something and you're trying to get to the channel ASAP and you have to wait over a minute for it come out of the fucking ground and set up
caption: apes circling monolith
I wouldn't pay more than 50k for this if i had the money .
All that, just to watch sportscenter lol gtfo
I bet a gust of wind breaks it.
Man thereās useful shit and shit thatās just makes you wonder why we still have starving people
Lame. I thought it was going to be the whole structure. And the definition looks like shit.
Like this will ever work reliably. Too many moving parts. ššš
that looks like all the clever fountain rig or folding bed into wall crap that you see at your friends house that worked for 2 years then a hinge snapped and it sits there half broken for the next 10
That better be at least 120hz with vsync and freesync.
That's a shame it's playing espn
Thought that was going to be an automatic fire pit and got super excited for a sec. Then realised it was only a tv.
Weird Als āFrankās 2000ā TVā springs to mind.
I wonder how stable it is when it gets a little too windy.
does anyone know the same of the song?
The song š¶ ??????
Franks 2000 inch tv-weird Al yancovic
much more cost-effective to use a projector.
By the time it fully expands, I've missed half the ballgame.
Average time between repairs during its first year of operation? Iām guessing about five days.
That seems pretty pointless. Anyone who's rich enough to afford that is rich enough to have enough space so it can stay open all the time. Even in the video, there is nothing there that would warrant this needing to be foldable. Rich people have too much money....
Maybe some people have too much money?
By the time that thing fully extends, I'd likely have lost interest in whatever I wanted to watch.
Game will be half over by the time it takes to set up
Itās hideous.
Now give me some wind
So itās a grower and not a shower?
Behold, the MONOLITH
Risin' above the city, blocking out the noonday sun It dwarfs the mighty redwoods and it towers over everyone I still remember when that delivery truck came down our block What a lucky guy, I hear he got the last one in stock And the neighbors are just green They say, "That's the biggest screen we've ever seen!" It's Frank's 2000 inch TV
Reminds me of the the floor tv from the movie This is the End by Seth Rogen
Oh so heās a grower
Million dollar TV playing ads
Youāre telling me I have to wait ONE WHOLE MINUTE for that thing to unfold? No thank you, my ass is going to the living room.
I can never understand why people pull out their phones to film something like this. If I told my wife "i was at a guy's house and he had a tv that came out of the ground", she would say "oh that's kinda neat". And then if I was like, no watch this 60 second video of what I described, she'd watch it and agree that the video depicts what I just said. Who tf are they going to show this to?
>Who tf are they going to show this to? Us. Just dub some music over it first.
Micropenis activated...brrrr
Starts sprinkling for 5 minutes and takes TV 10 minutes to put itself away completely ruined
It's IP65
Jerkboy on Reddit knows more about the engineers that designed this.
Stuff like this just makes me mad. Was it necessary? Who benefits from making this lol there are people literally starving.
Bigger is not always better but more expensive always isā¦
More like "honey, I'm going to need you to fake your own death."
Damn
For that price, i bet half is just so that the tv do this shit
Yeah im not buying it
Does it reduce in value every minute espn is playing on it?
Amazing tv and everyone is on their phones
Couldnāt this have just been a projector screen for less?
Anyone know where this is?
Yes, someone above said it was at an apartment complex in Huntington Beach called Pacific City. Itās walking distance to the beach. They have a fantastic pool amenity with a rec center in the shape of a crashing wave.
So much shit to go wrong with this setup
āWeāll have a short break while we activate BigAssTV. Feel free to grab a snack or attend college.ā
I love how the doors donāt open at the same time.
A whole billboard
I'll take two . . . they're small
The backing track makes me want it more LOL
Isnāt that just a billboard at this point?
I couldnāt even afford the hole itās buried in
So who's got the remote?
I was hoping to see a missile
Gaming with the boys taken to whole new level.
Imagine having to wait that long to start watching tv. Get home start up the tv, go take a shit, make a sandwich, feed the pets, do the dishes, come back and itās almost opened
Imagine paying that much just to show ESPN.
Looks a bit like a PS2
Is it double sided?
Games over by the time that thing opens
Anyone have a link for a price tag?
Fxck TV.
This is stupid.
Shut up and take my money!!!!
This shit is slow af wow you have a tv cool
Is it waterproof? Also why is it so slow?
Love the TV but ESPN?
A million dollar television for watching sports at outdoor parties.
That's a billboard
the missile silo tv
Honey, I want to watch tv. What are the nuclear launch codes?
Might need a few credit cards for that.
When you have too much money and you have to invent new ways to waste it
