TinyCircuits TinyTV DIY Kit

Ever watch one of those sci-fi movies where they shrink people down and suddenly a breadcrumb is the size of a Volkswagen? Well, folks, welcome to my world! But instead of breadcrumbs, we've got TVs! Now, I'm a man of simple tastes. Give me a recliner, a remote, and an endless supply of '80s TV reruns, and I am as content as a clam at high tide. But one day, I found myself yearning for something more, something that could blend my nostalgia with a pinch of cutting-edge technology. And there it was - The Tiny TV Kit. I ordered it expecting some DIY version of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, but this little beauty is no joke. Let me tell you, building it was easier than assembling an IKEA flat-pack...and with far fewer leftover pieces! All it required was a dash of enthusiasm, a sprinkle of time, and voila! I was holding in my hand a fully functional, Lilliputian-sized television. I took a mini SD card, loaded it up with The A-Team, Knight Rider, and a dash of MacGyver (for good measure), and I was ready to roll. The image quality? Absolutely smashing! Like watching a cinematic masterpiece on the world's smallest IMAX screen. I started carrying this mini marvel around with me. The supermarket, the bus, my dentist's waiting room...and boy, it's like walking a talking, schnauzer-sized dinosaur on a leash. Everyone wants to know what it is, where I got it from, and if they can touch it. Suddenly, I'm the most popular guy in town! Everywhere I go, I'm like, "Yes, this IS a TV. Yes, it does fit into my hand. Yes, that IS Magnum P.I. playing on the screen. Yes, you can touch it, but remember - handle with care. It might be small, but it's feisty." What's not to love about the Tiny TV Kit? It's fun-sized entertainment in high definition! I'll tell you one thing, it has all the charm of a Chihuahua, with none of the incessant yapping. Overall, if you're a fan of vintage shows, conversation starters, or simply stuff that's ridiculously tiny yet impressively functional, this is the gadget for you. No, it won't turn you into Rick Moranis in a lab coat, but it'll definitely make you the coolest cat in your neighborhood. A resounding 5 stars for this pocket-sized piece of televisionary (yes, I made that word up) genius. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a date with mini Alf in outer space!

youtubeでのレビュー動画を見て、気になって購入。 ただはめ込むだけで完成しますが、割とキツめというか、一部ハマらなかったので少し削ったり。 無理にはめようとすると、液晶割りそうだったし、この手の作業も好きなのでまぁ。 映像は画面が小さいだけあって、何を見ても綺麗に見えます。 ただ、再生できるファイルがTSVという形式のムービーファイルだけらしいです。 公式にある「TSVConverter.exe」というツールでMP4から変換できるのですが、H264形式のファイルが何故か認識せず、一度ffmpeg形式のmp4に変換しないとTSVに変換出来ませんでした。 8/15追記 ひとつ勘違いしていまして、「TSVConverter.exe」ですが、コーデック関係なくファイル名に2バイト文字が使われていると認識しない様です。

I finished painting it with acrylic paints after I spray painted the whole thing it's base color. Mostly used toothpicks for the details cause this thing is so small. On the side buttons I used alcohol paint pens as the plastic they used just absorbed the color. So it bled onto the button but not the side of the TV. Be careful as it will absorb thru the plastic if you test a color on the back, inside. I wouldn't use it for anything but those isolated buttons. Assembly wasn't bad. Make sure to follow the assembly video. I've not yet converted video for it but playing the videos it came with. Sound is pretty good. Not yet figured where the ir receiver is as I just can't use the remote directly in front. It has to angle down towards the top, or up from below the screen. But this thing is just too cool. Not yet figured where I'm going to use it, but love it.

Works well . Fun. 👍
