I have to admit it's the first time I see such a weird-looking TV. Why? First of all, the device reveals two relatively small speakers that were placed on each side. This makes the Time Square TV look like it has two Mickey Mouse-like ears.

HANNspree are the manufacturers of the time Square item and they claim that, during the manufacturing process of the device, they took the inspiration from the sports watches design. The result should have been the ultimate LCD TV, which
eventually happened.

Besides that, to add even more functionality, the manufacturers have integrated some other options that men could find useful, such as a thermometer and a clock, with one of each carefully set at the back of the small built-in speakers. Of course, I cannot imagine a certain situation when these would prove really useful, except a hurricane or else.

Regarding the design of the devices, the TV features some fine sleek lines and a solid grey casing, complemented by a bold-metal screen frame. If you open the two small ear-like speakers, you'll be able to reveal the screen. I cannot really understand why they added the hydrometer in the equation.

Apart from that, the Time Square TV features a rather humble 12.1 inch screen display, which is cute though, using a resolution of 800 x 600 SVGA and 2 x 2 watt stereo speakers. Other interesting technical features worth being mentioned are the 4-in-1 connection port for composite, S-video, audio-input, headphone jack, sleep timer and more.

They even added a comfortable to use remote control, so the user can actually lay back and enjoy the show. If you're wondering about the pricing and availability details, I should probably tell you the device costs around 500 pounds a pop and can be purchased from wherever you want.
