TinyTV DIY Kit – Build Your Own Palm-Sized Mini TV (3D-Printed, MicroSD Video Playback, Remote, No Soldering)

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!

This is something that is just really cool to have especially if you like to build miniature dollhouses like me.its very simple to build even though it don't come with instructions just search on youtube you will find videos on how to put it together properly.it comes in plain white but you can be creative and paint it what ever color you want. It comes loaded with a few videos but what I really like is that you can put your own videos.you just need the tvs converter from their website to convert your videos so that it can play on the TV. You also gotta make sure that the videos are named properly with no special letters or signs and then you can play any video on it.comes with a little remote that works good its perfect for when you put it in the miniature dollhouse you can change the channels or turn TV on and off with the remote instead of having to touch the TV. its sooo cool to watch and episode of thundercats on this little TV pretty amazing .makes the miniature dollhouses look and feel more real .I recommend this TV if you like cool things.

The media could not be loaded. The idea of " building" this mini-marvel almost kept me from buying it - but it's SO snap together easy!Putting it together adds to the fun. Brilliant miniature design in both form and function. Every button on the TV works! It would be nice if it came with printed instructions but there are videos on the product site as well as others by fans.Be sure to paint it BEFORE assembling the guts. I decided to paint it afterwards. When I reassembled it, I accidentally detached the speaker from its TINY solder points. Not to worry - all the components can be reordered separately from the product website. For only $11 (mostly postage) I had a new piece in DAYS.It arrives as plain white - 3D PRINTED rough plastic. It's SO tiny I used an emery board to smooth it out a bit. To get the gold, I used a gold pen I got from Michaels.

It's a novelty. They send it with about a dozen clips to watch (they act like channels) and the old CRT snow and shutoff effects are very well done. I downloaded a Honeymooners clip that looks just right. Don't have very long file names in your .mp4 clips though. The remote works but should have a case for it too. The 3d printed legs are not long for this world either.

The media could not be loaded. 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.

The media could not be loaded. Wow, this is such a cool find… I bought it as a gift, but ended up, constructing it for the recipient… how much fun! definitely take your time, follow the instructions and it worked out the way I had hoped. It was a pre-holiday gift and I was able to load it with hours and hours of holiday specials.. I would buy from this manufacturer again. I really enjoyed this experience.

Painted and put together, downloaded a bunch of clips and converted using the program in their tutorial, it was a fun spending an afternoon. Painting took me 2 hours, assembly was less than 5 minutes. I would consider buying more and load them of favorite music videos and movie clips of the person I would gift it to for stocking stuffers.

This has to be one of the best gifts you can give someone. Assembly is fairly straight forward. Everyone that sees it, loves it.
