It actually plays my old home videos on a screen the size of a stamp. It's my desk's favorite object.
The remote is absurd and I love it. Setup took five minutes and my clips looked crisp on that little screen.
Build quality is unreal for something this small. Feels like a real gadget, not a toy — and it's made here.
Gifted one to my brother and now the whole family wants one. Tiny, but seriously mighty.
Battery lasts through a work day on my shelf and the fireplace loop is weirdly cozy. Zero regrets.
Loading my own videos over USB was dead simple. It's the best desk conversation-starter I own.
