Note: The title says VFD Displays, because VFD also means variable frequency drive... But technically the D in VFD is already the word Display.

"The strings need the springs because the strings stretch and the springs fetch the stretch of the strings" - just wonderful!
-
Watching a Posy video feels like looking into a different world, one that seems nicer to live in.
-
VFDs are basically the peak of 80's and 90's aesthetics. Fun to see these lit up on every Hi-Fi audio receiver system in the electronic shops. :face-red-heart-shape:

The pro voiceover sound and tight script, the clean editing, the original score, and of course, the beautiful camerawork. Posy you are a renaissance man
-
The extreme macro shots were unreal, your art is appreciated as always!
-
It is interesting to know how engineers worked around the cost and technology to create the aesthetic they wanted in the old days. Nice contents as always and thanks for the new music.
-
I don’t know if there are well defined eras of YouTube, but your videos definitely feels like we’ve entered a new era. Shockingly original, fantastic, a joy to watch.
-
never realized how much I appreciate the aesthetic of these displays
-
In the modern era where displays on most devices are so sharp and colorful, it's wonderful to see these displays of the past, especially in such detail that most people back then wouldn't have even noticed.
-
Posy is such an underrated YouTuber, this is peak content (Edit - why did this get so many likes??)
-
One of my strongest lasting memories from my childhood in the 80s was sitting in front of a hi-fi system watching the VFD EQ while Metallica and Guns n Roses played in the dark.

As a native German speaker, I was confused at first since the element phosphorous is called Phosphor in German, while the English word phosphor, as it turns out, can be used for any phosphorescent OR fluorescent substance, so that's something I learned on top of the contents of this beautifully made piece! Apparently the commonly used phosphor for VFD was zinc oxide.

I would absolutely love a longer form collection of several minutes each of all those macro shots. They're absolutely beautiful watching the pulsing patterns, 100% relaxing. Thank you!!

You know this kind of reminds me of Vsauce and Technology Connections in the way you take joy in everything. I love these more explorative videos where you mess with and analyze interesting machines, but not in a more analytical manner, just enjoying the process of opening these gadgets up. And the sound design and music is of course a revolution. The whole series you have here is the most artistic stuff I’ve seen in years.

I really love the animated messages that the Japanese units would say when you powered on or off. It was quite charming when my CD player told me “SEE YOU!” I miss that little touch when using the iPhone music app. That gear looks gorgeous, BTW.
-
It is rare these days to find content of this quality. The camerawork, the music, the passion with which you talk about the topic. All truly fantastic stuff. I look forward to seeing more in the future!
-
That's so intricately beautiful. VFD display is really a lost art, the shear amount of engineering that goes into creating these display are remarkable. Nowadays its replace with LCD/LEDs which yes is more efficient, but it just doesn't look and feel the same.
-
This feels like seeing a segment of Sesame Street but for grown ups. Really love it. I'm just discovering this channel yet and I'm a total fan already. Thank you Posy

VFDs have a special place in my heart. That turquoise glow (And i will die on that hill with you) with splashes of other colors for different elements will always be an aesthetic that remains unmatched by today's LCD and OLED displays.
