- oneeyedelf1, on 10/12/2007, -6/+126Well a tiny inch would be how your girlfriend would describe it, and a huge inch is how you would describe it.

It's the TV that's featured in the video! - Dochtuir, on 10/12/2007, -7/+60A tiny 1 inch? As opposed to what, a huge 1 inch?
- AwwJeah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31This guy must be itchin to get his component cables.
- ProximaC, on 10/12/2007, -7/+33Less of a Wii and more of a Wyy...
- Nomad83, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28I didn't realize that space issues were THAT much of a concern! Now I understand the supposed advantages of having a smaller console for the japanese market.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25you are SO REDUNDANT!!!
- rejectpenguin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25Thats obviously fake.. I mean common you can completely tell its a giant hand and a giant wiimote playing on a normal size tv.
- chaosmachine, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24i suspect it's just a small lcd screen, like the kind they put in those 'tv watches'..
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Or, if you want a neutral perspective, it's a medical condition called Micropenis.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropenis - applebyte, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19so tiny, it's cute.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+24Wait, wtf? Is this for real?
How the hell did they fit a CRT in there? - Klisk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Wow, and I thought my 10" TV that I use was bad.
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15How did they cram so many pixels into a 1x1x1 TV?
- MAG1CO, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17Title is 50% wrong! it's a 1.5 inch tv... tut tut
haha, seriously it's cool though! - ZeroMP, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15@flamingmb:
Why WOULDN'T I want one of those? It's absolutely hilarious. I think it would be hilarious to have the second video out of your graphics card piped over to it sitting on a shelf near your pc.
Of course I'm not going to play games on it. But I still think it is a cool and unique product. - tabledesk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Damn I want WarioWare
- NewChar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14Lol, had to sneak in the "amazing" at the end of the description.
It is kind of cool. - ahatter, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14picture it more like a cell phone or digital camera. its not really a tv its a LCD screen.
obviously not a CRT. - Dochtuir, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7@oneeyedelf1
*****, that made me laugh.
( To save ye the hassle, reply is " That's what she said" ! ) - r2builder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I think it was just to show the scale of the TV, like sometimes miniature models are displayed next to a few coins in photographs to show their size.
- Klisk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6At the ultimate end of weirdness lies Takara's Showa TV, a little diorama of a 1950s Japanese living room with a tiny, working television in one corner. The infinitesimal 1.5-inch LCD set has a bright, razor-sharp picture and hooks up to cable TV or a DVD player, making it actually kind of useful. (We imagine you could prop this on top of a DVD player and show 1950s TV shows, making the illusion complete.) A Takara rep told us this one's popular with nostalgic, middle-aged Japanese men, who've been snapping it up even though it costs ¥19,800 ($184).

Showa TV. - Klisk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6It's amazing how amazingly obvious you can be.
Everyone expects to see the Wii on a huge television. That's not unique. That's not fun. That's expected. Very lame, unoriginal, uncreative.... Boring. Imax my ass.
Now a 1.5" screen. That's amazing. That's fun. That's unique.
Amazing. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6While along with others I realize the functionality on such device is nil it's still some cool technology.
I did as much googling as possible, here's what I found out (I don't think it's being sold anymore and there are 0 Takara dollhouses being sold on ebay).
http://www.primidi.com/2003/02/20.html -
In these days of 40 inches TVs, the Associated Press reports that Takara, a Japanese company, plans to sell 1.5 inches TVs built by Sharp Corp. But these TVs will not take place in your living room. They'll be sitting inside doll houses.
The tiny, postage-stamp-size TV sitting in the corner of a miniature living room works like a real TV, complete with volume and channel controls, video recording capability and liquid crystal display technology from Sharp Corp.
Tokyo toymaker Takara Co. plans to start selling the doll-house-like miniatures for 19,800 yen (US$166) each in Japan in September. The company has no overseas sale plans so far, said company spokeswoman Akane Noma.
The TV display supplied by the Osaka-based electronics maker measures just 3.8 centimeters (1.5 inches). It hooks up to a video-game machine for eye-straining gaming fun.
The little TV's control switches, which are regular sizes, are on the side of the floor. Each room measures 25 centimeters (10 inches) by 16.5 centimeters (7 inches) and stands 20 centimeters (8 inches) tall. - Pests, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7But is it HD?
- Adoozie, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7bannus, it doesn't matter where the sensor bar is placed. Most people place it above or below their televisions to make aiming easier, but you could put it off to the side, behind you, whatever, and it would still work. Granted, you'd have to point at the sensor bar rather than your television, but you could still operate the cursor.
- LaueOfficer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Buried for inaccurate!
(now the real question is, "Am I being serious?") - Talphin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5HOLY ***** a 1 (.5) inch TV??!!! I have GOT to get one of those!
- Lodovik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4They should think about upgrading to a giant, big screen, 2.5 inches lcd panel...
- undersky, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4er....1.5 inch is diagonal measurement, so it really has a 1 inch width and length (approximately, because the square root of 2 is about 1.41).
if the dpi on that LCD was 100, it will have 100 x 100 px resolution. and a MacBook has a dpi of 96, which sure isn't the upper limit of LCD technology. - bakatrinh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I wonder if that TV does 1080p
- sephiroth965, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I think that was in reference to an old homestar cartoon. That's the only thing that makes sense to me.
- habitat2050, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5the TV has nothing to do with the aiming function of the wiimote, all it does is display the image
- chaosmachine, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5or they have the output going into a splitter, and he's playing it on another tv.
- evilspoons, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Wow, the resolution on that is a lot better than I'd have expected. Maybe it's an LCD panel.
It would be nice if people could get around to learning to manually set exposure so you can actually see what's happening for half the video though. - LaueOfficer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Psh, 1x1x1 is hard, but that TV is a 1.5x1.5xWhatever it is
Problem solved! - Stevethegreat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"Why would he ever want to do something so stupid"
'Cause he can - lcmatt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Got to love how Youtube members shout 'Fake' before looking it up.
- EyeLike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Now could you imagine split screen multiplayer
- chopcow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@ cam0man
Nobody likes the term: "I hate to burst your bubble".
It sounds pretentious. - MikeCampo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5I do.
- undersky, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I am going to Japan on Dec 24, I am going to find one of these. Does anyone [who lives in Tokyo preferably] know where can I buy it at?
- swifty12, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3think of it like playing the wii on an ipod nano screen
- nickbarreto, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3oh come on people. thats comedy gold. totally dugg!
- plosfas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1maybe because it was? its warioware smooth moves
- spriggig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The sensor bar is visible in the video, sitting at an angle across the top of the "walls".
- y4su0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This toy ("Showa Television") was sold 2 or 3 years ago.
Sadly, it is discontinued, and I suppose it is difficult to get now. -
