(February 7, 2022) Today, February 7, and tomorrow, C SEED is opening its Beverly Hills showroom doors for an insane display of elite reference-grade technology. The company's new 165-inch Blade 165 MicroLED TV is headlining the event, accompanied by a 5.1 L-Acoustics Syva speaker system and the purity of Kaleidescape movie and concert content. The event will run from 11 AM to 8 PM on both days, providing an experience topped off with finger foods and drinks.
Measuring a massive 165-inches diagonal and boasting a hefty price tag of $279,000, C SEED's Blade TV delivers a brilliant 4K experience using MicroLEDs with a 0.9-pixel pitch and the ability to produce more than 64 billion colors. This emissive technology allows for a contrast ratio of 20,000:1, reserving the ability to completely shut off pixels for dazzling infinite blacks. It also plays well in large rooms with wide seating arrays, boasting a 175-degree viewing angle that doesn't suffer from brightness or color degradation at the extremes.
Unlike most large format projector systems, the Blade 165 can natively muster 1,000 nits of brightness for exceptional high dynamic range playback (HDR 10). Combine that with 16-bit greyscale processing, and owners are treated to a high-level 4K UHD viewing experience.
The Blade 165 is typically equipped with up to four coaxial speakers and two subwoofers embedded in a bottom-edge soundbar. But for its Beverly Hills event, C SEED has recruited help from the audio experts at L-Acoustics. This innovative company pioneered line source array speaker technology, fueling audio storms enjoyed by concert-goers worldwide, including high-profile events like Coachella and Lollapalooza. More than a manufacturer, L-Acoustics takes pride in its ability to marry art and science through complex R&D, leading to groundbreaking developments such as live immersive audio and a complete line of indoor/outdoor residential speakers.
L-Acoustics has deployed a 5.1 system in C SEED's showroom for today's showing, consisting of five Syva 2-way mini-line array collinear speakers and four Syva subwoofers. This particular arrangement presents some 470-pounds of speaker technology with a ballpark value of $55,000. It's capable of maximum SPLs reaching an ear-bending 137dB, allowing attendees to experience rich and enveloping sound at loud levels without sacrificing quality.
With such high-profile AV gear on-site, C SEED and L-Acoustics are using Kaleidescape to provide reference-quality premium content. Known for its lossless audio and high-fidelity video source material, Kaleidescape reigns as the most complete AV source on the market today. With more than 13,000 catalog titles to choose from, L-Acoustic's Michael Acevedo tells AV NIRVANA that he handcrafted a custom script, or demo reel, for the event. Attendees will experience movie scenes from the likes of The Greatest Showman, La La Land, Ready Player One, Baby Driver, A Star Is Born, and more. Additionally, the event will feature live concert clips from artists such as Eric Clapton and Queen.
All three brands have intriguing products that extend far beyond what's being featured in Beverly Hills. To see the latest in super high-end video displays, take a moment to visit www.cseed.tv and learn about the company's large-scale 201 outdoor TV that hides in an underground storage casing, only to deploy to nearly 15-feet in height in just 25-seconds.

Of course, Kaleidescape offers a full suite of playback options, all of which are detailed on the company's website.
