The grass grew over them and he can't find where they are now.

Yeah... Motors will get bad within 2 years, just like Speakercraft's TIME speakers...

How did you know?

Apparently my Harmony remote doesn't work thru grass. :-)

I had a client ask for price on this too. Could you imagine how terrible the res would look in a standard backyard if viewed from less than like 200 ft away. It reminds me of the old vegas signs,,,like I would have to screw bulbs in and out of the pixels (I know its LED, just making a point). So stupid. This kind of stuff just screams prototype company looking to get bought out for their facilities for a future product development that may have commercial potential.

Yep, I think you nailed it.

Is it LED pixels (i.e. each pixel is a multicolor LED)? I thought they were just LCD with LED back/edge lighting like LED TVs.

I got a call from a client about this TV today. Found some on-line references to price showing $500EUR which means about $680kUS + installation.

Does anyone know if this is accurate?  The client has this kind of money, but don't know if he'd really spend that much for the TV.

I have seen $650k and $685k at different sites/articles. I used the contact form asking for pricing weeks ago and never got a response. Today i went back to look and see if they updated their contact page...they have not. But...then i decided to click the link titled "Imprint" at the bottom of the page and found this...

I guess the new cool web design fad is to make locating contact info an adventure. Another site last week had the contact email/phone number on the about page. Contact page was just the mailing address. Guy got all bent out of shape when i used his blog/comments to get his attention. He was offended that i assumed Contact Us was the page i could find information that would allow me to Contact Them.

Thanks Stamp...  the client is impulsive so I've already called him back and told him it was at least $650k.  He yelled the f-word and them told me to let him know when the price comes down to $200k. 

I wonder if thats the installed price...and what "installed" entails. I think they need to bring it down to the $200-300k range if they want to move them.

Thanks, that's all the technical details I need to know. RUN a mile from that heap of cr*p.

I wonder how many have actually been manufactured and installed?  I'm guessing this is something that gets built to order... can't imagine they have a warehouse full of them waiting to ship.

To be clear i was referring to another manufacturer in the quoted text not the C Seed site. The C Seed site just never responded to me.

Oh - OK, didn't catch that. Still, not a great image for a premium product though is it? Maybe they've already got a great market through landscapers ;) ...

Paid in full 2-3 months prior to raw materials start to get on conveyor belt.  I remember Runco used to have a model that required such payment before head of productions spreaded out the the blue-print.
