Awesome Televisions

The TinyTV 2 has a 1″ screen with a 216×135 resolution, while the TinyTV Mini has an even smaller 0.6″ display with a 64×64 pixel grid. They play videos uploaded to an SD card.

C SEED’s extravagant 201-inch outdoor television features seven MicroLED-backlit display panels which pop up out of the ground in 40 seconds to form an enormous and bright screen. For sound, it packs six 250-watt speakers and a 750-watt subwoofer. It’s also available in a “small” 144-inch version.
