The Casio tv-21 was my most precious possession as a kid. We had no TV and my aunt gave me this device. Watching knight rider on it was amazing. I destroyed it when I disassembled it trying to convert it into a beamer...
That TV--21 was a godsend in Germany when my unit was on field exercises. Me and 3 other guys crammed into a hole with that thing inside a helmet, and 3 sets of headphones jury rigged together. We couldn't find anything on but static.... then BLAM there was The Simpsons. It was in German but that was absolutely fine with us :) God that was cool....
This channel is what I've been searching for years now. I wasn't born in the 80s but a lot of their tech bled over to the 90s and this is like a blast from the past. I love every minute of it.
Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Romans 6.23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

My friends and i had one of these we used to share during highschool study halls so we could watch NCAA games during the early 90s...we had to hide it under the desk but it worked pretty well actually.
For some reason this reminds me of those iPhone clones that were floating around in 2008~2011 and had a built-in analog tuner, an external antenna and a TV app.
Unfortunately, no. I was testing this by using an agile modulator with some rabbit ear antennas connected. It works well as a short range transmitter (though I'm not sure if the power is low enough to be compliant with FCC regulations). Here's the agile modulator: ruclips.net/video/RkinbzXOxbM/видео.html
Great video,just bought one of the Casio tv-21 its a a neat little tv,love these old portables I have a few my self,comparing the watchman with it I must say in favor of the tv-21 it’s much smaller and lighter so one of the advantages apart from the price...😊
Interesting. Isn't the backlight a separate attachment that uses its own batteries? Either way, I wonder if that was calculated using the much more common Carbon-Zinc type batteries, which have a fraction of the capacity that Alkalines do. Or maybe my rough calculations are way off lol
With that TV-880, the actual resolution of the display isn't higher than previous 2" display models, but what they did was arrange the dots in a delta configuration instead of as rectangular pixels, which allows better rendering of fine details and a higher effective resolution. Just like early OLED smartphones that had a Pentile display, which had for example a 1280x720 resolution even though there were less than 921,600 dots. Yeah, that was me. Lots of (all?) Casio TVs expect a lower-than-line-level video signal for some reason. Like you, I built a cable with a resistor in-line, but it's not perfect - I find an RF signal to be better quality still. Perhaps the actual Casio cable has a more complex network to do the conversion. It's the dumbest thing. Great video!! I need to make videos of my Casios eventually.
Neat... kinda like how in the larger CRT realm delta configuration is used for higher res stuff like computer monitors vs inline with televisions. And yes I'd love to see a video of your Casio collection.
Beautiful. I got one of those many years ago. Unfortunately I never got to see anything because that garbage is only NTSC. Does not work with PAL systems.
HDMI TO RF with US channel 3 (Euro PAL VHF 4, Irish and New Zealand/Indonesian PAL VHF channel 3) and channel 4 output has 4 systems of NTSC-M, PAL-BG, PAL-I and PAL-DK)
Hello, just scooped a Casio portable tv 1200, trying to get the av input to work, do they sell cable with power like u rigged up? I'm getting no video signal at all only sound
Can you see snow when the AV connection is unplugged? The brightness might be too high or low (there's a limited window where you get a visible picture with the brightness control on these old LCD panels.
Even if the idea of a pocket TV was nothing short of amazingly fantastic and magical back in the 80s, it seems to me only Sony made a real attempt at making such a product properly and the other smaller tagged along half-heartedly, probably only because Sony was doing it. The Casio attempts seem particularly half-hearted, look more like engineering homework than a product with a vision behind it.
I agree about the Casio being more of an engineering concept - the first handheld LCD TV. It was also the smallest of the bunch, truly pocket sized. But for real world use? Sony nailed it, even if it was out of most peoples' price range (myself included).

John 3:16-21

dang what a collection. I would've lost my mind having something like this in the 90s
My friends and i had one of these we used to share during highschool study halls so we could watch NCAA games during the early 90s...we had to hide it under the desk but it worked pretty well actually.
Had a Casio tv21 as a kid in the mid 90s and early 2000s 😂 was so fun
For some reason this reminds me of those iPhone clones that were floating around in 2008~2011 and had a built-in analog tuner, an external antenna and a TV app.
So is anyone still broadcasting in analog these days? How did you pick up over the air signals for the old early pocket tvs?
Unfortunately, no. I was testing this by using an agile modulator with some rabbit ear antennas connected. It works well as a short range transmitter (though I'm not sure if the power is low enough to be compliant with FCC regulations). Here's the agile modulator: ruclips.net/video/RkinbzXOxbM/видео.html
Cool stuff, thanks for sharing. 😊👍

I had a Citizen b&w that used the translucent flip up screen and mirror but it came with clip on light that ran on 3 AA batteries
I still have the manual for my Casio TV-21. RE: battery life. It says the battery lasts 4 hours without the backlight & 2 hours with one.
Interesting. Isn't the backlight a separate attachment that uses its own batteries? Either way, I wonder if that was calculated using the much more common Carbon-Zinc type batteries, which have a fraction of the capacity that Alkalines do. Or maybe my rough calculations are way off lol
Oh man, I would have so loved one of these back in the day! It's a shame digital ones aren't very common.
But with Smartphones and Iphones around they're not really needed anymore. That said they look great, I would have loved one too.

Só rico tinha uma dessas.era meu sonho de consumo.mas ñ deu pra comprar na época.
What channel is this ? And is it on vhf witout digital connection?
I was using an old analog (low power) TV transmitter that was just off-camera.
Beautiful. I got one of those many years ago. Unfortunately I never got to see anything because that garbage is only NTSC.
Does not work with PAL systems.

@probnotstech there's no snow, bit haven't played with the adjustments too much
