Over the years we&#8217;ve gone from relatively small but incredibly heavy boxes with screens on the front to ginormous flat panels we mount on our walls. The last time I got a new TV I could see it flex as I took it out of the box due to how thin and large it is.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While this is all very cool, I wonder if we have gone the wrong way. What if instead of bigger screens to delight in our lounge rooms we went smaller. No I&#8217;m not talking about phones, those portable flat screens we can hold. I&#8217;m talking about an old school tiny TV, really tiny, basically unusable small, for absolutely no reason at all and you can get one for as little as $50 USD in this Kickstarter<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span>.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\"\/>\n<p>The TinyTV 2 (spotted by The Verge<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span>) is a device that is all charm and basically no sensible function, making it essentially perfect. While it definitely works, this very small screen isn&#8217;t exactly something you&#8217;d want to watch feature length films on. It&#8217;s only slightly larger than a US quarter, with 26.3mm x 23.8mm x 21.9mm dimensions, and comes with a full box style TV design, complete with little tiny TV legs.<\/p>\n<p>The new TinyTV 2 is of course yet another excellent project powered by our beloved Raspberry Pi. This unit is running Raspberry Pi RP2040 processor<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span>, which is a great little microcontroller that&#8217;s only 7mm x 7mm. Thankfully I don&#8217;t think any Pi overclocking was required for this project.<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span> Just an aptly cute little module for a cute little TV.<\/p>\n<p>The screens, though just stupidly little, are a 135&#215;240 IPS panel, which can be turned on via the power button on the top of the unit. There&#8217;s an IR receiver for a remote control, rotary style knobs to manually change channels and volume, and a forward facing speaker right at the front under the screen.<\/p>\n<p>In the back you can find the USB-C connector that can be used to load up to 8GB of video footage to the screen. At such low resolution, you could fit a fair amount onto this drive, and then watch it in painfully small resolution. This port is also used to recharge the battery that offers a bit over 2 hours of runtime.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As always it&#8217;s good to be a little cautious with Kickstarter projects but this one is likely to be a safe bet. TinyCircuits<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span> is the company behind it, which has a bit of a theme to its work. The company makes all sorts of great tiny products, including a pint sized piano, a little lightsaber, and an atomised arcade kit. The online store<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span> is full of weird little things you never knew you wanted until you&#8217;ve seen them. Perfect stocking stuffer ideas to check out too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/this-functional-old-style-tiny-tv-is-just-bigger-than-a-quarter\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Living room screens are continuing to get larger and larger for the average consumer.
