    That, my friends, is the smell of Walkie-Talkies on Christmas morning, 1972. (They were Japanese made, back then). Ah…the Bouquet.

    ALICE!! (I mean Mr Li Tan Sheng). ALICE1101983 on eBay. Awesome.

    If you are careful, that offset within the display can be corrected. I do love those types of displays.
    (Edit) I spoke too soon, didn't I. I should have known you would not tolerate that misalignment. Love your style Julian!

    CCTV is British. SCTV is Canadian. OK, eh? (I'm USA, UFTV. Useless, Fundamentally, (extinct) Television).

    You should be at 500K+. I don't get it.

    Mmm, the nice smell of resistor burning in the morning.

    Have you had any problems with OLED screens going bad? I have had a couple now, one on a very fancy phone watch, this was pre-apple watch but offered some really great options along with video player and of course the mandatory bluetooth audio player etc. After a couple of years the color OLED went all red then after a short time died. The same thing happened with my Archos 104 MP3 Player with a color Oled screen. It still shows in a dark room but not if there is any background light. Sort of like the old Military dim RED screens that would not give away a soldiers position by the red glow of his radio lights.

    I spend SO much money on Alice's store because of you :-p

    Alice? Who the F is Alice?
    … oh, it's Mr. Li Tan Sheng.

    at the end of the video you say the resistors are in parallel, they are seriesed, if the were parallel, THEN they would be half rated. this is because it is esseniall stacking them together, and their cross section is twice as much, ergo, their resistance is halfed

    Un-coil the cables!

    how long does it take to receive your items from China? in Greece it's a nightmare currently

    Julian it's useless saying LED screens vs LCD, as both are actually LCD. The first LCD's used like a fluorescent type back light and now the newer ones today use LED back lighting and they call them LED monitors and TV's, but they are actually the same old LCD's, just with different back lighting and more pixels.
    It's only the new OLED technology that is actually a new and different thing and you can't get those in TV's or monitors yet in stores. I think some Korean or Japanese company showed like a 40cm prototype monitor like 3 years ago or something but they haven't even made it into the market yet except for these tiny screens on watches or small scale electronics like some of the things you show.
    It could be another 10 years until OLED's are easily available for monitors in a store.
