The iPad TV - Relive the 80s Era of Fuzzy CRT

The iPad has found its way onto refrigerators, toying with Legos, reviving an iMac G4, plastered onto walls with velcro, and now into the set of your favorite 1980’s television.

For a device that finds the strangest of uses, it’s interesting to note how versatile it is even when it’s completely useless. If white noise and CRT TVs are your thing, Jonas Damon decided the iPad would be the perfect match with its unique wooden enclosure. This CRT may not include an analog knob or rabbit ears, but it features the most gorgeous snow effects ever thanks to the IPS display. Honestly folks, I could see myself watching Hulu Plus or eventually Slingbox on this thing.
