Streaming movies and TV shows on your phone is probably the most convenient thing ever — until you realize you're squinting to follow along.

Good news: you can now turn your smartphone videos into blown-up retro masterpieces on this smartphone magnifier.

This rad mini TV takes whatever you're watching and blows it up to two times its original size and displays it on an eight inch screen. But it isn't your average monochrome, boring flatscreen —this smartphone magnifier is the cutest recreation of a vintage television, featuring the old-school box shape and faux wood exterior. (Don't worry, your stuff will still play in color — that's one retro thing we couldn't budge with.)

Get your latest Netflix binge up and running, slide your phone into the tray on the side (which happens to be a replica of an old VHS tape) and see your show immediately pop up. The slot fits phones up to 6.2 x 3 inches, which means it can squeeze up to an iPhone 7 Plus or a smartphone equivalent in size.

Transform your room into a mini 1960s living room with the smartphone magnifier for $26.89 here.
