I had a small Westinghouse Tv in my room on the wall with the same OS (Interface) as this one! I suspect that this tv and the Westinghouse were made in the same factory. Nice video!
One reason, among so many, that I love your channel is that you always select clips that give me a good chuckle. It's always subtle but I do feel seen.
Oh wow, I've never seen a 16:10 display used on a TV before. What a bizarre choice. 2011 was pretty late for 16:10 even on computer monitors, so I wonder if this was built around old stock LCDs. I recently saw a DVD/VCR combo for sale near me with the same Viore name on it. I'd never seen it anywhere else until this video.
I see about 10 TVs a day in my job. Most are absolute junk, but what's also interesting is when I'm programming the Xfinity remote to the TV, it'll auto detect the brand as something other than what's on the front. "Is this TV made by Vu?" I should start posting shorts of this phenomenon 😂
Can you please post a list where X brand uses the same codes as Y tv? I have a local brand tv, which i suspect uses the same codes as some other "white label" TV's
I believe it's because they were built by an ODM and sold under many brands around the world. If it's anything like the Google TV feature where the streaming box remote can control the TV (e.g. on Google TV Streamer and newer Xiaomi TV Box models), it's likely that the set-top box reads the manufacturer ID from the EDID of the connected TV.
Good overview, cheers! I have a similar thing to this (maybe more like the Coby), a Powerpoint LDT1530 from around 2008, which is a 720p 16:9 TV, which can switch to 4:3 mode automatically or manually. It has the same video inputs, though Instead of YPbPr it has RGB scart. Last I measured it for 240p/480i analogue, had latency of no more than 1 frame. It handles PAL and NTSC, though it also has a built-in DVD player rather than the USB port ... not sure if that's region locked. I would assume not for the price / era.
I have a similar age TV from Visio. It's got all of the same inputs and is very light, but it's a 24 inch and uses AC power. It was my main TV when I was younger. I used to use it to watch digital TV, play Wii games, and watch DVDs via composite from my portable player. I now use it as my go-to test display and the one I bring with me if I know I'll need one.
I have a Vizio TV that has all of these inputs as well at 2 HDMI and an optical input, component inputs and separate AV/S-Video inputs.. Just about anything you could want to view can be displayed on this machine. It is a Vizio Model VM230XVT. I never plan on getting rid of that thing.
The number of inputs is rad. I found another brand (forgot what it is called) that hadd all those inputs in the eWaste shelf at work and nabbed it. It, too, was small and had mounting arm attached instead of a normal stand, so I suspect the client that we removed this from used it in their kitchen. I stored it somewhere in the garage with the hope of mounting it someday when I set up my retro room, maybe in the next home.
Back in the 80's, an old friend from High School, now married and 2 children, had an Aspen and Volare, and they both were rusted badly like many did back then .😅
I search the local thrift stores ALL the time for NTSC/PAL tvs. They are rare as hen's teeth here in northern Idaho, but i've found 2 in the past 6 or 7 years to use with my PAL Commodore 64s.
I've used 16:10 monitors for my computer for a long time. I like the little bit extra height. Of course, in my context, there's no stretching. I really get more area.
The "transition period" between analogue and digital is still going: even my 6 -month-old 65" 4K HDR TV has composite, component, RGB, and S-Video via SCART (supporting PAL, NTSC, and SECAM), and a DVI input - the only thing it's missing is an analogue tuner, but that's understandable. No idea why SCART never caught on in the US!
Viorewestlife 😂🤣 jk Nice video mate I missed small tv videos. Here as always because I love your videos. I love the inputs that tv offers pretty great for old consoles.
I still regularly use a Sony Bravia LCD TV from 2007, because it has all the ports I could ever need for my retro game console setup. The picture isn't even that bad by today's standards, but the pixel density is low.
Those TVs are ultra useful for carrying around and use on NVR or computer on the go when you need a display, but they all suffers from the same issue which is the HDMI Port will report it's native resolution (that might be 1280x800) but will NOT support it over HDMI (VGA is fine), so you need to force the source to output at 720p or 1080p, which is not always possible especially with modern computer that boots in graphic mode and use the reported resolution of the HDMI display.
We had one of these in the breakroom. A good little thing, albeit sorta small for several people to watch at once. Glad to see another Texan on here. Would you know what movie was playing there at 5:00?
I have a little Samsung tv that is just as old and possibly older as I don’t remember the manufacturer date. In its lifetime it has had the power supply serviced by replacing several bad capacitors and more recently I’ve noticed that the backlight is starting to reach its end of life as it uses a fluorescent light and now takes days to reach full brightness. I don’t think I’ll be bothering to repair it when it finally does fail though as the response time isn’t very good for a pc where you can see the difference in refresh rate between my main monitor that can do 144 hertz with a response time of 1 millisecond. For connectivity though I actually found that the vga port on this tv provides the fastest and clearest picture possible despite it being connected using a random DisplayPort to vga cable I purchased from Amazon. If anyone wants a better idea how old my tv is think back to when flat screens had two rf connections one for your antenna and the other for cable. What dates it even more is the idea that the Picture in Picture feature will only allow you to select an analog broadcast or analog cable channel for the second source and thus making the feature useless today unless you really want a box of snow on screen 😂😂😂
Sir! I have a very important question - where does one get that IIgs video output to component adapter? I desperately need one. Reply here or find me on socials. I really need that for my Apple set-up!!
Was just looking to see if anyone had noticed that before posting. I think I'd be wary of that power supply, apart from not matching the TV's power rating, it was noted to be oddly lightweight and has a rattle!
The service port wouldn't be something for users to use. It would be for the factory or service personnel to do firmware updates, and maybe diagnostics or calibration.
Just thought i'd point this out as I think you've missed it - clearly the power adapter you have is not the original for the TV as it is rated only 12V 1A (12W)yet from earlier in the video the label on the TV clearly states 12V 2A (24W) so that power adapter will be struggling!
Viore sounds like a possible Westlife member 😂
My cousin.
"So what kind of display do you want your TV to be?"
Viore: "Yes."
All of them.
As an European (Italian) the lack of a SCART bothers me! 😁
Nice video as always! 😉
I spy a box for a Hitachi Blu-Ray camcorder in the background! I hope we get a video about that sometime in the future!
It's broken. See my video about 2000s camcorders.
liking before watching a Vwestlife video is the new hotness.
Nice TV. I love it when they have the full selection of inputs. So rare these days.
I had a small Westinghouse Tv in my room on the wall with the same OS (Interface) as this one! I suspect that this tv and the Westinghouse were made in the same factory. Nice video!
Oh wow, in Australia I think these are branded 'Tyagi'.I put one in my camper trailer. Media playback from the USB is extremely limited too.
My wife had a little 16x10 Polaroid brand TV when we met. The vertical stretching drove me nuts at first but I got used to it. Great video!
Back when you could grab'em by the bezel. Not anymore...

Maybe the magic comes from the HDMI CEC protocol

@@MrHack4never I should really do that! I'm usually too busy to make notes, but I'll give it a whirl.

@kbhasi thanks! I wish I knew more about board level function and repair.
Good overview, cheers!

You could just split the VGA’s for both HDMI & VGA and get an aux to optical adapter 🤷♂️
4:49 “He likes to give a big tip to all the delivery boys” what the heck does that mean 😭 lol
LMAO....I want to know what movie or show that scene is from.
'Viore' sounds more like a brand of wine with herbs rather than a brand of an HDTV. And a fully-working one after your Coby stopped working.

Wow! Now isn’t this nice? If only we had this in South Africa.
This is a great TV! look at this viewing angle on the last scene. Better than most modern ones!
"Did you say Ferarri? No! Volare!!!" :P
I wonder if this is a successor to the Pyle LCD TV he reviewed almost 15 years ago, based on how many jacks it has.
I search the local thrift stores ALL the time for NTSC/PAL tvs. They are rare as hen's teeth here in northern Idaho, but i've found 2 in the past 6 or 7 years to use with my PAL Commodore 64s.
I hate it when stores put the price sticker directly onto the screen itself. It is a pain to remove it.
I've used 16:10 monitors for my computer for a long time. I like the little bit extra height. Of course, in my context, there's no stretching. I really get more area.

Reminds me of some oooold Samsung LCD monitors 😅
I just came across one in a dumpy house, but it wouldn't turn on so I couldn't test the cable box.
It's also the exact same resolution and aspect ratio of the steam deck which would make this very very desirable.
Its handy to have a monitor with almost every input under the sun . I have a hp lp2475w for that use case.
What a coincidence, I just hanked my jib too!
I’m beginning to miss the variety of inputs and outputs this TV has..🤔
Viorewestlife 😂🤣 jk Nice video mate I missed small tv videos. Here as always because I love your videos. I love the inputs that tv offers pretty great for old consoles.
Finally a TV that uses all the inputs supported by the SoC! 😹
I see stuff like this at thrift stores all the time. Perhaps it is time to take a closer look at one.
I feel like this is a TV for camping.

Would you know what movie was playing there at 5:00?
I too, am curious about that movie/show.
Layout of io jacks and software look like dynex tv
Think these TVs were also sold as Funai at one point

As someone who loves the steam deck and has a windows surfaces laptop, I'm a bit supported of 16:10
As an Apple IIGS owner, I'm concerned about your choice of startup sound pitch and screen colors
Volare, nel del pinto de blu?😅
I made a nice holiday fire and
Analog on it. 😅
No, the name of the woman who played Doo Wop oldies
on Sundays on WFDU from
NJ.?😊
What about a Tandy Ham?😅
Could also easily power this with a USB C PD power bank
Sounds like a skin care product.
Biore. That was my thought too.
Sir! I have a very important question - where does one get that IIgs video output to component adapter? I desperately need one. Reply here or find me on socials. I really need that for my Apple set-up!!
The only port this thing is missing is SCART.
What, no display port?
Did you notice that the TV needs 24W (12V 2Amps) and the power supply you used is only 1 Amp? You might run into some issues!
Was just looking to see if anyone had noticed that before posting. I think I'd be wary of that power supply, apart from not matching the TV's power rating, it was noted to be oddly lightweight and has a rattle!
8$ is steal for something that can be used with basically all vintage systems.
What was the deal with the "Service" USB port? Did I miss your coverage of that?
The service port wouldn't be something for users to use. It would be for the factory or service personnel to do firmware updates, and maybe diagnostics or calibration.
Chroma-Magnon. 😅

Viore sounds like a knock off of Viera, which was Panasonic's line of TV's back in the day
Viore? Never heard of that name before. Gee, I wonder what forced labor inducing country would make such a low effort product?
