"I have the TV installed, very easy install 5 minutes. Extremely easy to
work with and add or change mpeg videos even inverted mode, cool.
I am going to leave it programmed exactly the way it is, it's perfect. I
love the way you have it fade in and out to allow you to clip the episodes down to mini episodes.
If I were to do anything, I would just add a larger USB drive and add on
to what you have built already, VERY, VERY happy with this mod, great job !!!!!
Thank You very much for this mod, I love it."

"Received and installed the TZ TV today. Thanks for the speedy shipping. installation was extremely straight forward and easy. Booted right up and it looks great. This is a well done mod that is a great addition to a great game. Thanks for making these available at a fair price. Maybe my scores will improve if I concentrate on the TV instead of the game."Nora

"I received mine yesterday haven't hooked it up yet but I went over everything
and is a very well thought out and is made very nice
and great attention to detail and is definitely the best mod for the money
and still trying to figure out how he is even breaking even lol.
others sell the boring picture tv for the same price and this has much more involved in it.
Also great guy to deal with."

How is this different from other options?
1. This mod uses a raspberry pi to process the video and display to the LCD. This opens up infinite possibilities for using this mod and customizing it to how you like it.
2. It can drive any size display. I am currently using a 2.8" LCD because it fits perfectly in the TV housing.
3. The displays have a very small bezel and circuit board around the edges, so you do not need a large bezel to hide the edges and take up your playfield real estate.
4. It can hold countless of hours of video on large USB drives or even external hard drives. I have a personal edit of some old Addams Family tv show episodes, The Addams Family movie, and The Addams Family Values movie that lasts for ~4 hours long on a loop.
5. The end user can very easily configure the video content themselves. You simply plug the USB drive into your computer and place videos into the appropriate folders. There will also be a configuration file where you can specify things like if you want to play the videos in order or randomize them.
6. The possibilities are endless, I am starting small and I will add additional features as necessary.Disclaimer: I want to make it clear that I am not selling any copyrighted video, however I may includes samples on the USB drive, or point buyers to where they can find appropriate sample videos online to download.

Even so, I cannot assume responsibility for game malfunction, damage to the game or surroundings, personal injury, or any other adverse effects caused by the installation of my mod.
