TECH
When it comes to TVs, people express a desire to use devices with the widest possible diagonals. But this rule doesn't always work. The world is full of weirdos who are ready to shell out for the opportunity to get a TV with a very small screen. Like the TinyTV 2 device currently on Kickstarter. Its author, Ohio-based Ken Burns, is raising funds for the mass production of this "technology miracle."
Ken has a wealth of experience - his company TinyCircuits makes the TinyScreen screen no bigger than the tip of your thumb. Previously, the same company produced a TinyTV model as a self-assembly kit - also miniature, but with worse features. The novelty will be completely ready to use as soon as it comes out of the box. It will allow you to watch preloaded videos on the indoor unit and custom videos. Two small buttons act as "channel switches". In addition, the device will receive a fully functional remote control.
The gadget is built on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microprocessor. All the "stuffing" fits in the 47.6 x 36.6 x 25.9 mm case, and its color TFT display is only 1.0 inches in size and has a resolution of 216 x 135 pixels. Lithium polymer battery ensures device operation for 2 hours. For those who think this TV is too big, there is the TinyTV Mini with a 64 x 64 pixel color OLED screen and a 0.6-inch screen diagonal.
The developers offer investors both versions in a gray box priced at $49 and in a transparent one starting at $59.
