I once tried to watch Blade Runner on a handheld color TV—2.5" screen, Radio Shack device from the mid-1990s, so the resolution was really bad. I bet the 1.5" B&W screen would look more crisp
https://cohost.org/RubyMayValentine/post/4151287-i-got-the-watchman-w It looks pretty good, this picture is a bit out of focus so it looks blurry but it’s a lot more crisp IRL
that is the business! I'd love to have one. uh, how are you feeding it a signal
Antenna attached to the back of my vcr, I need to get some sort of signal amplifier though because the tv has to be extremely close to the VCR antenna to work, I also need to do this without amplifying the signal too much because the FCC will get mad at me if I broadcast too strong.
holy heck! super! huh wonder if you could somehow couple directly to the Watchman's antenna through a wire coil or something of that sort
Yeah you can do that I’m pretty sure, but my goal is to be able to watch it from anywhere in the house since it’s portable is all, I tried at least having it on my desk by moving my vcr underneath my desk but all the cables around my desk were causing interference making the signal from the vcr weaker
My vcr is usually on top of my 13 inch crt in the kitchen haha
I remember, one could get these little "color booster" VHF/UHF amplifiers meant to go inline between your rabbit ears and your TV; wonder if such a device would be useful here
