DON'T Buy the WRONG Pixel Display! Tidbyt vs Pixoo 64 vs ULANZI

Clean setup. Great content! This was such a niche subject, got the answers I was looking for. Looking forward to seeing more!

How are they powered and can I power them down within certain hours or will they light my office the whole night?

I got pixoo 64 for birthday and my dad bought it

thanks for the review - very helpful. getting Pixoo for my daughter :)

heavily overpriced, you can build them for 50 Bucks or less

The ulanzi clock is a winner with awtrix light. The stock firmware is just bullsht :)

Can you program any of these?

Sleep Token fan, good man. Already own a TidByt but wanted to look into other options. I think I’ll just stay with what I have

Awesome video, no idea how you don't have more subs - you earned one here! Came across this when trying to do a comparison of Tidbyt and other products out there. I think I'm probably jumping on the Tidbyt v2.0 kick starter, mainly because I'm a developer by trade and love the fact that there's private app loading and an API to work with.

This is the 1st video I've seen of yours and was shocked to see less than 500 subs as of this writing. Subscribing now before you have 100k. Thanks for the reviews!

Nate, How about Tidbyt vs. Glance?

great content! i keep getting 'glance' ads as well so maybe that's a good one to add into the mix as a more direct TidByt comp. also go hoos!

we now also have Yeelight pixel cube blocks

Worship ❤😂

If I'm looking for a display to post a message while remote with updated store hours, or that we're running a few minutes late, can the PIXOO easily do that?

Have the Pixoo 64 - lots of cool animated art, and other features, but man oh man, the app is truly a train wreck of confusion. It's the most counter-intuitive app that has ever graced any mobile device. They should give you a free zoom meeting with a Cartographer to explain everything. Oh, and 2.4 Ghz only wifi in this day and age?

I have a Tidbyt and don’t use for any sports information and absolutely love it! I just got an email from them today announcing the Tidbyt Gen 2.

Explain how glare makes anything more versatile? Stupid comment.

This was a great review. Subscribed!

I am thinking about, buying one. But I read some comments, that the 64 version sometimes just freezes on the loading screen and that u have to replace the sd card and this happens again and again and one time nothing works and so the device doesn't work anymore....so i'm not sure if i should buy one if it won^t even function properly for at least 2-3 years :/

Aug 2023: Send a message to someone remotely? ie, send text TO the box for someone else to read? Seems like the versatility of the Tidbyt would allow this functionality.

Awesome video! I’ve been seeing ads for the Tidbyt recently thought to see if other options were out there. This really helped, thanks Nate!

with the ULANZI much more is possible than you show in the video (awtrix-light in combination with e.g. iobroker)
Cost/benefit is outstanding here

Go hoos!

Love these things, though not so much the standard Pixoo, while perfect for pure retro 16x16 characters, it's just too dim, not enough contrast, and the bezels are horrible. For a 16x16 I'll probably buy the Ditoo Pro Pixel Art Bluetooth Speaker with its retro PC design.

On the flip side, as cool as the 64 is (and I'll likely end up with one at some point!) I find the sweet spot to be the Pixoo Max with its narrow bezels, bright display and good contrast. With the 64, you end up edging closer to a normal display, certainly from a distance, so for me it starts to deviate from the spirit of these things. What next, 128x128, 256x256? Just becomes a digital photo frame at that point. With the Pixoo Max and its 32x32 display, you are still in the realm of having large pixels that are blocky enough to do justice to retro, while lending themselves to a bit more detail if you want. Just depends what type of content you want to show, and nice to have that choice.

I want the Tidbyt.

you forgot the original. lametric time.

I don't have the Divoom Pixoo but I have their Tivoo. The battery was terrible (15 mins). All batteries were seemingly sold with no circuit protection judging by a few user reviews, so it ran a risk of fire, sparking up or damage unless you swapped the non removable battery for a high quality one (if you could a protected 18650 li-ion 2500mah). Although there was literal weight in the product (which suggested quality) I could not trust it. The white pixels had a bluish tone. The speaker was acceptable in playing music from it's sd card or from a phone despite the delay, it's non digital radio poor. Yet it had a decent app in being able to create your own art and showing the latest user art (although a lot of art looked suspect, many automated photos to pixel). For all this alone I would probably sway away from the Pixoo

My name is Nate, and I am also bald. We the same, different, but the same

You should have a look at the awtrix firmware for the ulanzi clock and I bet you change your mind! 😉

You’re pulling off the bald look mate! Looking really handsome ngl

Ulanzi is a ripoff of a thingiverse project sadly

Great video!!

excellent presentation

FYI: You can change firmware on ULANZI and connect it to HomeAssistant After that you can display any data which you want plus animated icons. True. This is rather for more technical persons.

Hi great vid, are you able to adjust the brightness of the tidbyt?

I would buy Tidbyt if it were cheaper. I think a better price point is $130.

nice video .the sound is too low

You deserve more subs!

If I might ask, which device would you say is best for displaying current weather info, such as the current temperature or the chance of rain?

Such a well put together video!

How are you not even at a million subscribers?! This is such a professional and helpful video! Subbed!

The only thing I will say is sometimes your voice did not match the video and sync was off but I am casting so take it with a grain of salt

TidByt Retro Display my ❤love

Lold at shaving head scene

Ordered a Tidbyt based on information gathered from your channel! Very excited for it to arrive!

my husband loves colored lights and it's rubbing off on me. your office looks awesome! i am going to buy a govee lamp soon, i can't wait. and now that i know about these pixel displays, i might need to get one! it would be fun to change the display for different calls 😄
