Finally closing time! Get on the couch, thumb on the remote control – and spend several minutes using the iPhone’s zoom function until your TV finally comes into view? This device is no bigger than a 2 euro coin.
These mini televisions are the ideal devices for the dollhouse, the Lego world or the Barbie dream house – and look like old-fashioned tube televisions.
What can mini televisions really do?
The two devices are called TinyTV2 and TinyTV Mini.
The TinyTV2 in numbers: The dimensions of the mini TV are 47.6 × 36.6 × 25.9 mm. Despite the tiny size, the device has an IPS panel built into it, which displays 216 × 135 pixels. Given the mini size, this resolution should be more than sufficient.
The internal memory with a capacity of 8 GB allows you to store video material with a maximum length of 20 hours. You can either charge the TinyTV2 using the integrated battery or transfer your videos to the device using a USB-C port on the back of the device.
In addition to the screen, you will find speakers and controls on the front of the device.

By the way, the TinyTV Mini is even smaller. The device measures just 26.3 × 23.8 × 21.9 mm. This makes the TinyTV Mini the first real television that you can carry comfortably in your pocket. On the technical side, the TinyTV Mini offers a real OLED panel with 64 × 64 pixels, i.e. 0.6 inches (1.52 cm).
Like its “big” brother, the TinyTV Mini has an internal memory with a volume of 8 GB. On this smaller of the two devices you can find the controls along the top of the device – but only if you narrow your eye slits and use a magnifying glass.
Jokes aside: The two look like real TV sets and also display moving images on their screens, but strictly speaking they are more like miniature monitors including video memory. Even what constitutes a real TV set cannot receive either TinyTV2 or TinyTV Mini: TV programs.
Both devices can be operated with a – how could it be otherwise – mini remote control.

The project is financed via the crowdfunding platforms Kickstarter and Indiegogo. The project had already reached 18 times its crowdfunding goal in November last year.
Where we are at TV sets: Is 3D coming back? What do we expect from televisions in the coming years?
What do you think of these micro TVs? Will you be getting any of these pieces for your dollhouse? Or do you not have a dollhouse at all – and put the devices in the case of your tower PC? Which TV is in your closet? And most importantly: Which television channel is on “1” on your remote control? Feel free to write to us in the comments!
