My "We can make it portable senses" are tingling - Ben Heck

That's fine, but they made British customers literally pay twice as much (and closer to 3x) as American buyers for the same display.

It proberly was a run to see the production costs, yields, and consumer needs. 11" was just a test to see if viable to ramp upto a larger panel. Remember most flat tft screen which are largs are made from 19", 22" and now 32" and 40" glue to get in portrait mode. Philips invented the micro glue to do this, until then they could not get yields for large screens. These 11" proberly in idea to ne glue together 3x i portriat mode to make a larger screen was the plan, but was considered to expensive for comsumers to buy, thus the return to expensive to setup production. Thus did not happen with 11' screens, and project dropped.

It was probably 5 years later I got a modest little LCD and had to drag the old CRT beast out, that plasma TV still works too, we just gave it to someone else last year after getting a bigger 4K Samsung, so to see an OLED in 2007 is pretty wild

My local Wal-Mart had a 32" Sony LCD TV attached to a PS3 circa 2006. Totally blew me away at the time and convinced me to upgrade to HDTV. I didn't buy a Sony though because they were so much more expensive than other brands for given size and specs. I bought a Dell 37" LCD TV of all things! Good combinations of specs, size and price though! And a 60GB PS3 which got more playtime than any console I'd owned previously.

Yes my friend that is indeed a very strong feeling of nostalgia 😉

4 inch thick Full HD Sony Bravia, that's so familiar... My parents bought me one as kid, so i could watch TV in my own room. It was kinda hell as expensive at the time, especially by Russian terms... Now it's impossible to imagine my family buying same class electronics, as rouble inflated in almost 4 times since 2000's... So much good memories, entwined with this TV. They were great flat screens, i still use it time to time!

So you're 22? That's a very mild version of nostalgia. It gets stronger with age. I'm 41, I can only imagine how it is at, say, 80. Must be why old people are always talking about the past.

Just last Christmas we replaced our 46" Sharp Aquos that we bought in 2007. The picture was 1080i. We now have a 55" Samsung in 4k that cost about a third as much as the Sharp.

I was 1 in 2007. And our family had and still has THICC 2007 bravia

We had the tech to create 4k TVs for some time, broadcast standards held us back it seems. Probably plays into why they are not that expensive now.

At university my housemate's father worked for sony. In our house we ended up with what I think was a trinitron.

@@sealmeatisbestmeat1241 Oh, but I have never had any issues with Sony devices. I know, they are a little bit expensive. I have had 2 Sony phones (one I am using ryt now). An Xperia L and an Xperia M2. First one stopped working 2 weeks ago since my little brother always drops it (accidentally). It was bought around 7 years ago. The M2 is still going solid, even though the screen's glass broke and some parts of the circuitry lay exposed. It was the fisr and last time this phone was dropped. My bro came running towards me and his hand hit my hand with which I was holding the phone (it was a really bad throw). The only problem is the software. Sony gave the last update in 2018. The phone was bought 6 years ago.

@@kunjupulla I had an M5 before I went back to Nokia. It had a really horrible accident that shattered anything glass, yet I can hear it power-up, but without any display I can't see if it works or just powers up.

Gotcha! But which Beovision Avant do you mean? I would say most iconic would the mid/late 90ies one with the optional VHS recorder. Or did you mean the 4K 75" one? Pretty sure there were more than one Predicta model as well. I was thinking of the Nordemende Spectra Color Studio but probably couldn't name it if I would be asked. I predict the new b&o Beovision Harmony or LG OLED65RX (if released) will fit this list perfectly. BTW. Never heared of the Bosch TV 22. The Bosch TV division was known as Fernseh AG or FESE for short from 1929 on. Must be a mechanical TV than.

Classic TVs reminded me of sets from the 70s-80s, and I suppose the 90s as well.

@@Troppa17 I was thinking about the one with the VHS. I think it's called Avant 28.

@@Troppa17 Yeah, Predicta was my first thought, and there were a few versions, including a few different floorstanding ones (see here: www.wallswithstories.com/interior/philco-predicta.html). I'd seen them around at antique shops at one time, but were either in not that great of shape, or were more than I wanted to pay. Eventually, I found an incredibly good condition 1952 Westinghouse Stratovision H-700T17 17" model in blonde wood with the matching lazy-suzan table. Even has an old TV repair shop sticker on the back. Looks and works great and I've been known to pipe some Honeymooners or other old TV shows on DVD into it through an RF modulator. It's no Predicta but it's very nice and was a lot more affordable and totally has a vintage feel. I also picked up a Hallicrafters 7" round tube set from 1947 that I found at a junk shop eons ago. It has a push button tuner with channel 1 (channel 1 was in the earliest TVs, but it was phased out in 1948). When I got it, it had a burnt out filament in the picture tube but most of those 7" models all used the same 7" white phosphor oscilloscope tube so it wasn't all that hard to find a replacement. However, the problem with some cheaper made tube TVs such as that one, is they would run all the tubes in a single series string across the line voltage, to save the cost of a filament transformer-- and the problem with that is, when warming up, the resistance of the various tubes changes until it stabilizes and the picture tube filament can get hammered by over current until it does, thereby reducing the life of the tube, which is probably why this one was bad. So I've been planning to see if I can throw a couple of zener diodes across the picture tube filament to protect the replacement tube from that, and the thing has seen better days, but it would look like this in good shape: radioattic.com/item.htm?radio=1310036 Given I've got those two antiques, it seems that collecting a Predicta, as nice as they are, would be more costly than it's worth to me. Unlike Techmoan, I don't feel the need to "collect them all" - somebody's got to do it but it doesn't have to be me... :-)

@@Syncopator Two very nice TV models. The Hallicrafters 7" appeals a little more to me but thats only my preference. Maybe because the Westinghouse Stratovision reminds me on a Grundig TV my grandpa had. Back in the day a friend of mine and I rescued an old Grundig 610 (www.alamy.com/stock-photo-broadcast-television-television-set-first-grundig-television-console-48416583.html) literally from the ewaste but unfourntly a tree fell onto what was my working shed back then and smashed the TV unit and my workbench (including the soldering iron my grandpa gave to me which was back than more important to me...) into pieces. That was a very sad day. It was very beat up before but after that I could only save 2 tubes of which I gave one to my friend. Yeah, I see it now more like you I can't collect everything. I originally referred to what I thought was a original Predicta. I saw it once on display in an design store in the Belgium or the Netherlands. (can't remember) But now I - thanks to you - know it was a reproduction by Telstar (www.johnmoran.com/auction-lot/a-telstar-predicta-chalet-television-set_0544E5E8F2)

@@worldcomicsreview354 I can remember seeing a massive set that I think was a plasma TV in somewhere like John Lewis or maybe Selfridge's, in the West End of London, that had been reduced from £24,000 to a mere £12,000. I guess that was only a short while after the turn of the century. From memory, it either wasn't turned on, or they'd done that annoying shop thing of "showing off" the display with a mistuned picture in the wrong aspect ratio... 🙄

I think you have the wrong video, it's a series of still shots with music under, and no pictures of the front of electronics stores. It looks like a train station instead, far away from any city that would be selling this expensive little OLED TV. It looks all very rural. There is no moving video at all. It keeps showing the front of a train and mountain views with some guy singing to the music. I'm guessing this is the song about the woman dumping the guy. I do remember reading articles about this TV, I didn't realize it was only 11", I always thought it was closer to 17". Like a medium sized computer CRT at the time. It's interesting the store display Techmoan shows reminds you of this song. Our memories can bring up some odd connections at times! Or should I say Technology Connections!
