$95 a year for app features after paying $3k...that is crazy. Definitely a rich person toy.

It seems like the fee is only for additional features, not the standard ones. It seems like the standard ones are included, and even those are numerous.

So they managed to have it be both expensive upfront, and be shackled to a steep subscription service?!

My first thought exactly… The future is subscriptions…

I’m sure somebody can make this more cheaply and not have to tether us to a subscription service

It’s not complicated…. But oh my god the labour… 8500 individual flaps to be lettered, control of 132 stepper motors. It’s pretty heavy going

A $3k dinner menu 😂

I’m going to try and build one, starting with just a small clock I’ve seen on some print websites. Once I learn how to do that and modify the software, I’ll try and figure out how to scale it up.

$3k piece of art ya gotta have in-wall power

Good advice to wait, that would suck to buy it the gen 2 comes out that has greater conectivity. Great video

I want one so bad, what I don’t want is paying 3k. Also, paying a subscription after already having spent that much, is absolutely ridiculous

a subscription model for a 3k panel? what a scam.

I love this... and kind of want one. But realistically, I can't imagine getting much use out of it after an hour or so. I can either text someone directly, or hope they're sitting in front of the vestaboard. Hmmm... which one?

This lady is always sceptical lol

Do you wonder what happens if some of the letter blocks break, how it gets fixed and how much it will cost?

Not sure, but as I understand it, each module is independent, so you would likely replace the damaged module, not the whole board.

Does it include a warranty?

At minute 3:22, second to last row, rightmost element - is this a hardware error? How can it show orange and red at the same time?

@mbk_r

3 ай бұрын

It's not an error. Each bit has to have 2 "flaps" of the same color - otherwise it would not be possible to show a bit in a single color (like the rest on the board at that time stamp). It most likely skipped to the next position hence red bottom and yellow upper part. Was this skip intentional - I don't know, someone with vestaboard app would have to find this picture and tell us how it was supposed to look.

Can someone make UI and javascript and have it on samsung frametv🎉

Why not just use a cheap TV or monitor to display the same information?

$300 is a buy. $3000 is rip

Yeah the third prong is totally optional

HAHAHAHA! 3500 USD?!??! I can't stop laughing

I’d buy at 1k with no subscriptions

I was considering this or a synth I’ve had my eye on but that subscription service made me reconsider. I got rid of most subscriptions last year, don’t plan on supporting that business model any longer.

A really cool piece of technology called a "monitor" makes this obsolete.

Feels like it would make really distracting noises.

So 3k for the thing and the on top I gotta pay extra for a subscription? Nah, I'm good.

Why does this thing exist lol. Why is it $3000? Why does it weigh over 50lbs? I have many questions 😂 cool review tho

sounds so loud lol

$3k gift! Bruh I don't know no one worth $3,000!

So 3000 dollar and 95 dollar subscription. Sheez no cheaper alternatives?

if the service covers mechanical costs/repairs then $95 a year is not bad!

You could make one for a fraction of the price.

Very cool and desireable, but asking $95/year after $3K initial overpriced investment is extremely greedy and despicable.

Seems like a noisy waste of money...the novelty will wear off like a child's x-mas toy.

Having to pay $3k for a 55lb board that's going to use up electricity then on top of that its $95 a year for the app? Just to display MESSAGES? Hahahahahaa That's an absolute sham/ripoff.
