Build your own portable SMART TV (100% wireless!)

Want a better experience watching media on your smartphone? This DIY build should be right up your street! In this one we'll be building on the previous portable monitor project and designing a battery system and speakers for it to transform it into a high quality wifi TV!

BATTERY METER CALIBRATION:

The bottom variable resistor sets the high voltage point (or 'full charge' voltage), so set this first when batteries fully charged; clockwise lower voltage, anticlockwise higher voltage.

The top variable resistor (near the button) sets how broad the range is, so set this afterwards to get the low voltage point at low low battery power, anticlockwise lower, clockwise higher. Low voltage should be about 10v when the batteries have no load connected.

The clips playing on the screen were from the trailers for Planet Earth 2 and Assassin's Creed.

You are pretty much the only person I know whose videos are time-consuming,  complicated and ridiculously high quality who actually uploads regularly. You are super amazing, I love what you do and will always continue to watch your videos. With the highest respects, Sinok.

Tip: you can tie a knot on the 3.5mm headphone cable inside of the speaker. This will almost always avoid damage to the circuit/soldering when the cable is yanked.

Dude, you literally have the best projects!

Anyone else want an ASMR of just Matt talking gently? Or maybe an audiobook narration.

This project series went from, "Yeah...I can do that, " to, "well..shit, " pretty damn quick.

"attach this wire like this.... and this wire goes here like that - and voila, a particle accelerator." Yes mate, you might have to go over a few more steps here and there.

Put magnets on the back and mount it anywhere in your house, because you know, we live in the future! Ha but really, coming from someone born in 1992. Love your channel, never lose that passion for creating! 😊

I FEEL SMARTER JUST BY WATCHING THIS VIDEO.

[rajaosama]

Dude your sick, i feel like i am in a wrong field of studying . Doing this is so satisfying, and your voice make it more pleasurable .

[pingwingugu]

I am glad that you take some extra time on the sound bar, it was most interesting part of the build. I am even thinking of making one for a normal screen.

[DIYPerks]

Crikey, you guys have obliterated that like button! Thanks a lot!

[Bryantfstephens]

Just finished making this. Had to change some things for what I had but it looks great! Thanks! First soldering job too! Just as I finished I saw the new video about the brass touch screen monitor. A little upset I didn’t do that but then I saw the price of some of those screens and control boards and felt better again. Lol
Thanks a lot!

I don't know why I am here and why I am watching this video, I even don't have ability to use this tools but your videos like a magical and I can't control myself about watching or not watching. Thanks. Hello from Turkey.

[databanks]

nice extension of the original display video, thanks Matt. The bass response tweak isn't something you see often even in videos on making bluetooth speaker sets, a great extra touch

I made one with four 18650 cells a while ago. It utilizes an internal eCube E4 balance charger and a custom voltage monitor which switches the buck converter off when the voltage hits three volts. I will probably add a dim when battery low function later.
Great video!

Been in the leigh industry along time and the last part about the Handy third arm is the best thing ever made even wit coolant inside.... thumbs up!!

[fuse.]

I think eryone just watched this vid and never gonna build it by themself.
Still amazing video and amazing Monitor

[cmhammer]

Definitely gonna adapt 18650's to this project. Much easier to get my hands on, plus much higher power and battery capacity. Thank you so much! I've been trying to figure this out how to go about this for a while now!

[driftkid]

You're like an OCD Collin Furze its awesome!

I'm glad I came across this. I've been literally trying to do this exact thing with the screen I have but it's much slimmer than what I had planned
