C SEED folding televisions · Kansas City.
IntegrateIT carries and installs C SEED across the Kansas City metro — the MicroLED televisions that fold, rise or lift out of the way so the room reads as a room when nobody is watching. One precision first: C SEED is a line we carry and install under distribution, not one we hold our own dealer agreement on, so we do not call ourselves an authorized C SEED dealer. What we are is the people who work out what the model needs from the building — structure, an in-ground chamber, drainage, power and a signal path — and who make the deployment one press rather than its own procedure. Phone: (913) 804-7575 or office@integrateit.tech.
What we carry and install from C SEED
C SEED sorts its range into indoor and outdoor, and writes the screen sizes into each product name. We specify and install to order — nothing here is stocked — and the model choice is settled by what the room or the site can accept rather than by the size someone had in mind.
- C SEED N1 165/137/110 TV (indoor). An unfolding MicroLED television built from five panels that stands freely in the room; C SEED states it needs no wall mounting or structural support. The route for a great room where nothing should be fastened to the architecture. It lands in our media room and whole-home work.
- C SEED BUGATTI N1 137/110 TV (indoor). The Bugatti-branded version of the same unfolding design, presented as a sideboard until it opens. Same installation question as the N1, with the finish choices made at order time.
- C SEED M1 165/137/110 TV (indoor). A 4K MicroLED television that rises out of the floor and unfolds, anchored by its base, with a flush-mount floor option offered. The one to raise with the builder early, because the floor detail is a framing conversation.
- C SEED Blade 221/165/137 TV (indoor). A folding MicroLED television designed for wall mounting — the structure-and-blocking version of the idea, which makes it a mounting and concealment scope as much as a display one.
- C SEED N1 165/137 TV (outdoor). A freestanding unfolding outdoor MicroLED television, rated IP65 and specified at 4,000 nits so it holds up in direct sun, and able to rotate up to 180 degrees. The answer for a terrace that already has power and a level pad. Our outdoor television page covers the rest of what an outdoor screen needs here.
- C SEED VERTICAL 201/144 TV (outdoor). An outdoor MicroLED television that lives in a subterranean chamber and rises vertically out of the ground, published at 4,000 nits. A landscape and concrete project with a screen in it, designed with those trades rather than after them.
- C SEED HLR 201/144 TV (outdoor). A folding outdoor MicroLED television that lifts horizontally out of a shallow in-ground compartment, published at 4,000 nits and rated for use between minus twenty and plus forty-five degrees Celsius. The shallower civil scope of the two in-ground models.
- The Supermarine range is out of our scope. C SEED also builds retractable screens for superyacht decks. That is marine work, we do not do it, and we would rather say so than let a page imply otherwise.
What the moving part asks of the building
A screen that folds, rises or lifts has a mechanism, and every mechanism has a requirement. Indoors it is usually floor structure and a clear path: what the base bears on, where the cables run so nothing is visible in the stowed position, and whether the ceiling will still be clear when the screen is at full height. Outdoors, in Kansas City, the requirement is site work. An in-ground chamber needs drainage and grading, or it becomes a sump; every gasket and fastener sees a full winter of freeze and thaw; power and signal need a sealed, conditioned path; and somebody has to be able to reach the mechanism for service in February rather than only in June.
None of that is a reason not to build one. It is the reason these projects are specified during design, alongside the concrete and the landscape drawings, rather than added to a finished patio. Daniel walks the site before anything is quoted, which on an outdoor model usually means walking it with the builder.
Where it sits beside the alternatives we also carry
- Against a fixed dvLED wall. If the picture is meant to be seen rather than hidden, a fixed wall gives more size for the money and fewer moving parts — Just Video Walls is the line we build those from, and that page explains dvLED in full.
- Against a projector. In a dark, treated, dedicated theater a JVC projector on a Stewart Filmscreen surface remains the reference answer, and a retractable screen is a far cheaper way to make a picture disappear.
- Against a concealed television. A Sony or Loewe panel behind a lift, a panel or art is the ordinary way to hide a screen, and for most rooms it is the right one. C SEED is what you specify when the screen also has to be very large.
Common questions
Who installs C SEED televisions in Kansas City?
IntegrateIT (Overland Park, KS) carries and installs C SEED across the Kansas City metro — we coordinate the structure or the in-ground chamber the model needs, build the video path that feeds it, and integrate the deployment into the room so one press both raises the screen and sets the room. To be precise about the relationship: C SEED is a line we carry and install under distribution, not one we hold our own dealer agreement on, so we do not call ourselves an authorized C SEED dealer. The brands we do hold dealer agreements on are listed on our site and include Control4, Crestron, Lutron HomeWorks and Kaleidescape. Control4 Platinum Dealer, Crestron Elite Partner, Lutron Certified Installer and CEDIA member. Phone: (913) 804-7575 or office@integrateit.tech.
What makes a C SEED different from a large television?
Two things: it is MicroLED rather than a backlit panel, and it moves. MicroLED means the emitters are the picture, with no backlight behind a liquid-crystal layer, which is what lets these screens be very large and stay readable in a bright room. The moving part is the point of the brand — the screen folds, rises or lifts out of the way so the room reads as a room when nobody is watching. That is an architectural decision rather than an electronics one, which is why these projects are specified with the builder and the architect in the conversation instead of chosen from a showroom floor.
Does a C SEED need a pit or a foundation?
It depends entirely on the model, and it is the first thing we establish. The indoor N1 and BUGATTI N1 stand freely, and C SEED states they need no wall mounting or structural support. The Blade is designed for wall mounting, so it is a structure-and-blocking question like any large display, only heavier and flatter. The M1 rises from the floor and is anchored by its base, with a flush-mount floor option offered. The outdoor VERTICAL and HLR models are the ones with a genuine civil scope: VERTICAL lives in a subterranean chamber and rises out of the ground, and HLR lifts horizontally out of a shallow in-ground compartment. Those two are designed alongside the landscape and concrete work, not after it.
Will an outdoor C SEED survive a Kansas City winter?
That is the question we ask C SEED on every outdoor project, and it is answered from their published environmental ratings for the specific model rather than from a general claim. The outdoor N1 is rated IP65 against rain, snow, dust and humidity and is specified at 4,000 nits so it stays readable in direct sun; the HLR is published for use between minus twenty and plus forty-five degrees Celsius. What we add on top is the part a Kansas City winter actually tests: drainage and grading around an in-ground chamber, freeze-thaw on every gasket and fastener, a sealed and conditioned path for power and signal, and the servicing access to reach all of it in February. An outdoor screen here is a site-work project with a screen in it.
How does a C SEED fit into a Control4 or Crestron house?
As one press rather than as its own remote. Raising or unfolding a screen is a scene: the screen deploys, the lighting drops to a viewing palette, the shades close if the sun is on the wrong side, the source starts and the audio comes up in the right mode — and reversing it puts the room back. We are a Control4 Platinum Dealer with a Control4 Certified Showroom and a Crestron Elite Partner with programming written in house, so that sequence is written for your room rather than assembled from defaults. The deployment itself also wants a timing conversation, because a screen that takes most of a minute to appear should not be waiting on a source that woke up first.
These are designed with the builder. Bring us in early.
