Tiny Circuits are great, I brought a Thumby when they had the Kickstarter last year. It's a really impressive bit of engineering to produce something so small and yet fully functional, this looks no different 🙂
In the mid-1980s, I had a TV watch. Was awesome. Display was watch face. Receiver connected to watch with wire and was the size of an iPhone, more or less.
I still have one like that in my electronic junk drawer. Except mine was from the 90s and you wore it like a necklace instead on your wrist. It has 2 inch by 2 inch screen if I remember correctly.
I first saw one of these on the Crafsman's channel last year (I think?) it's wild to see how much they've expanded the line up in a short time. Though I'm surprised at the choice to use AVI when it seems like such an abandoned format these days. Are they trying to match the era of the tvs?
Oh imagine having this as a mini computer ala Amiga or DOS, maybe perhaps an unique computer system where assembly/C is all that are needed to make mini booting computer that are loading a mini OS, like you could make your own OS for it to do whatever you do like it to do. 👌👌
I don't know why but that is fascinating to me... If I got one it would be a novelty I'd play with for a few days and end up on a shelf collecting dust except as an ice breaker maybe but still pretty cool... as Norm said though the things you can use the circuits for without the cabinets are probably the more exciting aspect of this
Get Sgt Bananas back for some Toy Photography using these! I know if live them for some of my own. Also, shout out to the editor of this video, this is epic 😍
Awesome idea, though I still prefer the project this is probably styled after, where someone made a functional Simpsons TV with a Raspberry Pi that allows you to zap through clips from various episodes.
In order for this product to hit a nostalgic note I reckon they need to convert the tiny screen into a tube like feature. Simply examine the same style of TVs your replicating and be more precise.
Exactly what I would hope 3D printing would enable creatives to do - Make a living with small scale manufacturing for niche audience! The SLS prints look good!
I think i would love to see one that's a little bit larger (not too big though) and it could have a more beefy speaker and have bluetooth and it would be an awesome boombox/speaker. It'd be fun to have this at a party while it plays random videos or have a visualization feature
Quick question, if I upload let's say 3 movies, when I change channel will the movie start from the beginning or will it continue from last place paused or will it be random? Thanks
Kind of prefer the charm of the low res of the original but the 2 new ones could be great to incorporate into cosplays and models for those not wanting to make their own
Terrible lol. Scale it back up to our size again. A full sized tv with a resolution of 64x64 would be unwatchable. It works at such a tiny size because those few pixels are compressed into a tiny area. If then a tiny person were to look at it, the pixels would be huge in comparison
Kinda feel like there is better displays at those sizes. Think of electrical viewfinders. I do have thermal images that are 80x60 pixels. So if there is a monochrome display like this (but better looking) would be fun.
I just saw this on Facebook, it's cool and all,but, there's always a but... I'd want to pick up over the Air TV channels... I'd order one in a heartbeat if it did that... Plus,it would be cool to have a Philco princess model design or other gas pump TV
I have the Batman tv from the Tiny TV Classics collection cause I collect all things Batman especially the 60’s series and movie which this is I also love the television set is designed to look like a television from the 60’s just like with every tv show they feature in the collection the television set reflects a design from the era
Just to clarify, the "Tiny TV Classics" are NOT associated in any way with the "Tiny Circuits" brand. The Tiny TV Classics (at the time of this post exclusive only to Walmart) are pre-programmed with clips licensed by various entertainment studios and are NOT engineered to be customized, that is, loaded with new video data. So far I have not stumbled across any "Idiots Guide" level hack tutorials that would allow the average Joe to load it with, say, their favorite Japanese anime or German expressionist film. That is the big selling point of the Tiny Circuits versions. You can play what you like upon it, not just what some TV or movie studio will allow. The Walmart novelty toy is also designed around somewhat larger display, 1.5 inches diagonal, 50 percent larger than the available Tiny Circuits version. Oh, yeah, the Tiny circuits kit can also store a LOT more data, something like FIVE HOURS worth upon the current kit as opposed to the collective 5, maybe 10 minutes worth on the Walmart toy. That being said...I did grab the Tiny TV Classics toy featuring the Adam West Batman clips at my local Walmart when it was marked down to an even 10 bucks. I wanted one primarily for the 1960s console design and the relative "scale". When paired with my "Character Options" brand Doctor Who figurines in 1/13th scale (roughly 5.5 inches tall), that makes the 1.5 inch screen approximately 20 inches, just the right size for a color TV of the mid to late 1960s. I have positioned two Granny Connolly figures (from "The Idiot's Lantern") by the set and placed a penguin figurine atop the console to recreate Monty Python's "Exploding Penguin" sketch (my introduction to the famed British comedy troupe). Of course, it would be far cooler if the TV could play the routine itself going for a meta "Inception" gag.
I didn't know they made screens that small. Now I need to source at least 80 so I can build the perfect keyboard with keycaps that change to suit the layout you have selected. Just imagine, modifier key pressed, keyboard changes entirely to suggest the next key in the sequence. Shift key changes the lowercase letters to all uppercase, and the number row to symbols. Want Dvorak in an instant without swapping keycaps around? Done. Back to qwerty? Done.
Elgato Stream Deck uses tiny screens on buttons too, good frame rate for animation, and affordable for a consumer. For engineering creators, you can buy tiny displays for use with Arduinos etc for a few bucks each. These folks making the TV's are probably buying from similar sources.
Dollhouses around the world are going to be pimped out now
My thoughts exactly! These will be a classic for generations to come. 🏆
Probably fake news. 😅
with 1940s tvs XD
Full sized for Warwick Davies 😆
My mother will be so happy
I always feel the little kid in me when I watch these videos. ☺️. Thank you Norm and Adam for all this content. Always interesting and fun.
So cute! Dolls house owners & creators must be loving this!
absolutely loved that the whole video was on the tiny tvs! Stay awesome Norm 😎
Tiny Circuits are great, I brought a Thumby when they had the Kickstarter last year.

Haha, cool. This level of miniaturization always amazes me.
In the mid-1980s, I had a TV watch. Was awesome. Display was watch face. Receiver connected to watch with wire and was the size of an iPhone, more or less.
The one from Seiko?
@@niklaschmid Probably. I don't recall, but the Seiko is consistent with my recollections.
I still have one like that in my electronic junk drawer. Except mine was from the 90s and you wore it like a necklace instead on your wrist. It has 2 inch by 2 inch screen if I remember correctly.
With the TinyTV II, I went right to a Star Trek (original series) tricorder w/ flip-up display head. It'd be fun to see a working version of that!
Oh hell yeah 🖖
I was thinking "Space: 1999 commlink", myself.
@@WonkoTheSaneUK Whoa, those are awesome. I watched Space:1999 but I guess I was too young to remember the commlinks (commlock? I'll be rewatching).
I wonder if they ever thought to have a little concave glass front over the screen to give it that true CRT curvature look of old TV's
Love my TinyTV, so glad you featured it.
Thanks Norm! Great job editing this video
This is really cool and there are lots of classic TV shows that are now in the public domain that you can download and play on this thing!
Love the presentation Norm, that's how ya do it!
Very cool video arrangement going from screen to screen in real time. Well done!
Love these, contemporary nostalgia feels.
This is just ... crazy. And Norm pulled it off. WOW
The Mini is almost the size of the USB-C port. I love it.
Genius way to present these TV's Mr. Norm.
I really can't wait to finish my fully functional Warehouse 13 Farnsworth communicator.
Love the Kaine idea from Robocop 2
This is so cool! I would have loved to have had one if these tiny TVs as a kid!
Great video sir and
Congratulations for 6m subscribers.
i've never jumped to a kickstarter page so fast. JUUUUST missed the early bird price but happy to support them anyway!
this editing is top tier 😁👍
What a well put together video
Perfect for watching a little TV 🎉
Great video I do think there is a better way to present the Tiny TV. Well done Norm!
so dope, what a neat novelty!
I'm gonna have the movie RAD playing on loop at my desk.
This reminds me of the Mobiblu Cube 1-2.
Miss you Kim. RIP.
Awesome video norm
My dad would've loved this.
I actually need this
OMG ! They gotta make a" Philco
Predicta " tiny Tv ,it would be ultra retro
Lol, I just posted the same thing I have a "princess" model which is what Apple originally designed their computer from
Love the commitment to the bit of doing the whole video using the display
I hope one day to have one of these in my life!
you knailed this video my man
I used to watch one of these on taxi stands when I was working back in 1990. About 2 inch screen. Was ok, better than watching traffic. lol
these are perfect for have in a LEGO model of a house or something like that
Thank You
I first saw one of these on the Crafsman's channel last year (I think?) it's wild to see how much they've expanded the line up in a short time. Though I'm surprised at the choice to use AVI when it seems like such an abandoned format these days. Are they trying to match the era of the tvs?
Man, I was gonna mention Crafsman... but yea, saw this with is GI Joe figures.
that would look great as a micro wave oven, have different foods showing cooking
Oh imagine having this as a mini computer ala Amiga or DOS, maybe perhaps an unique computer system where assembly/C is all that are needed to make mini booting computer that are loading a mini OS, like you could make your own OS for it to do whatever you do like it to do. 👌👌

These would be a great way to make a diorama or dollhouse much cooler.
The Space 1999 commlock would be lovable.
i cant do anything with it, i add the new firmwire as told and when ever a movie a file over, about 10% moves over then it crashes :(
Get Sgt Bananas back for some Toy Photography using these! I know if live them for some of my own. Also, shout out to the editor of this video, this is epic 😍
this will be PERFECT for my London flat
Oh, this is awesome. Now do I load it with Damnation Alley or The Last Chase?
Awesome idea, though I still prefer the project this is probably styled after, where someone made a functional Simpsons TV with a Raspberry Pi that allows you to zap through clips from various episodes.

You can also make these out of any old android phone very easily.
@@minoreye9984 I have numerous android and Nokia phones from back in the days with screens that size. Flip phones and regular
I need one!
Exactly what I would hope 3D printing would enable creatives to do - Make a living with small scale manufacturing for niche audience! The SLS prints look good!
I wonder if one of those would fit into the new Robocop 2 "Cain" robot model kit, that's due out soon.
I believe you can also use these new versions as a monitor, which is pretty hilarious
Yes! Mirroring your desktop live over USB-C. Lots of potential there!
I have the original one and they are very cool. and other things from tiny circuits.
I think i would love to see one that's a little bit larger (not too big though) and it could have a more beefy speaker and have bluetooth and it would be an awesome boombox/speaker. It'd be fun to have this at a party while it plays random videos or have a visualization feature
Doesn’t your Description perfectly describes a smartphone with a stand?
@@Craftlngo it doesn't look like a retro tv tho
@@GreyDevil Time to sculpt/3d print one. We probably all have an old Smartphone now.
Thank you for rediscovering the word NOVEL.
Now "Unique" can stop being misused, and by being overused by definition used wrong.
Skateboard companies should sell these with a constant loop of their video.
I have absolutely no Idea why I must have one of these. However, I must!
AmAzAzing ❣️ ❣️ ❣️
Quick question, if I upload let's say 3 movies, when I change channel will the movie start from the beginning or will it continue from last place paused or will it be random? Thanks
The ants attending the Derek Zoolander Center For Children Who Can’t Read Good can finally have TVs in the classrooms
the last one looks so much like a Tex Avery beat about "the house of tomorrow" 😂😂 with everything being miniaturize to the point of being unpractical
Kind of prefer the charm of the low res of the original but the 2 new ones could be great to incorporate into cosplays and models for those not wanting to make their own
Seems like this would go great in a Fallout themed diorama. Load some of the black and white game trailers for the various games in the series.
Yes, definitely!
He pulled out that extra extra tiny tv and i was like bruh what the Hell
Does the sound frm the grey one really come from the little grate?
I wish they would make a more modern tv with a screen in scale with 6 inch figures.
did you record the actual speaker output? the quality cant be that good
Can a lens go on the front to make it bulge? Looks wrong with a flat screen.
Love❤ from India🇮🇳.
Now I'm thinking about if an entire miniaturized house had a miniaturized person... What would the resolution look like to a tiny person's eyes?
Terrible lol. Scale it back up to our size again. A full sized tv with a resolution of 64x64 would be unwatchable. It works at such a tiny size because those few pixels are compressed into a tiny area. If then a tiny person were to look at it, the pixels would be huge in comparison
Kinda feel like there is better displays at those sizes. Think of electrical viewfinders.
I do have thermal images that are 80x60 pixels. So if there is a monochrome display like this (but better looking) would be fun.
Bladerunner skyscraper with ad screen on the side miniature?
Great! So now my hamsters and sea monkeys can watch TV!
anyone see the potential here for active displays in model space ships / aircraft ?
I was thinking of the Dick Tracy watch. This is the next thing for a watch.
Wonder why they went from SLA to MJF, the SLA one looks much nicer
So, this video is simply an ad for a Kickstarter on a channel with 6 million subscribers. Got it.
Was the video shot using audio from the TinyTV?
6 millionnnnnnnnnnnn its about time
ahh finally, a tv set for ants :)
I just saw this on Facebook, it's cool and all,but, there's always a but... I'd want to pick up over the Air TV channels... I'd order one in a heartbeat if it did that... Plus,it would be cool to have a Philco princess model design or other gas pump TV
The mini is about the size fit for a dollhouse.
This would be good for a Space :1999 Commlock
I agree and I just posted the same before I read the other comments lol
the real test would be playing doom with those
Love it. But, where is a case imitating the Philco Predicta???
PHILCO Predicta!!!
Imagine in school whipping one of these out of ur pockets
Oh man I hope they use that 64x64 color screen on the next Thumby…
I'm envisioning the smallest cyberdeck ever...
Put the ENTIRE Ant-Man movie into one of these and I'd pay... $80 just for the awesome novelty!
Is this a Kickstarter or a sale? The link is... Unclear.
They should make an edition in a LEGO-compatible TV set. Then your LEGO minifigs can watch The LEGO Movie on a LEGO TV.
I have the Batman tv from the Tiny TV Classics collection cause I collect all things Batman especially the 60’s series and movie which this is I also love the television set is designed to look like a television from the 60’s just like with every tv show they feature in the collection the television set reflects a design from the era

As windows into Star Trek models running looped scenes of corridors or Bridge scenes.....

Already exists, already super expensive.
