PRIMITV
- Grimburger 4y agoAbsolutely topnotch, you could have a bright future in branding.
- mholt 4y agoI would buy a good offline TV called "Primitv" in an instant
- q7xvh97o2pDhNrh 4y agoNice. That is an absurdly good name. I think it needs just a bit of fool-proofing in a couple dimensions though: (1) Ideally, the brand would also be able to speak to the segment of people who aren't going to get the wordplay. (2) Also, there's the age-old pronunciation question. Is it just "Primitive"? Is it "Primi - Tee - Vee"? It's quite close to being a great brand, though. I wonder if it just needs a skillfully-placed lowercase letter, or a couple dots, or something — maybe some sort of subtle variation could solve both problems.
- dcow 4y agoI think it’s perfect.
- bobthepanda 4y agoEh, this isn’t that crazy. Like, most people probably don’t think about the fact that Uniqlo is short for “unique clothing” and yet it’s the #3 clothing retailer in the world.
- lloeki 4y agoA good example, for which people also don't care about the pronunciation, which, being a japanese brand, is supposed to be ユニクロ (yunikuro) [jɯnikɯɾo]
- Dalewyn 4y ago>Also, there's the age-old pronunciation question. Is it just "Primitive"? Is it "Primi - Tee - Vee"? PrimiTV. As in: DirecTV.
- taftster 4y agoOh, that's just beautiful. You're hired.
- askvictor 4y agoThat's really nice. Though there's a _slight_ chance that Amazon's lawyers might come knocking due to the similarity of Prime (TV?).
- pedalpete 4y agoPRIVATY? PRIVATV?

- lagrange77 4y agoThanks for the positive feedback, guys! It was kind of a spontaneous inspiration.
- pupdogg 4y agoHi lagrange77, I like this name too. Thank you for the suggestion. It's a bummer that primi.tv is already taken, but I'm fairly optimistic that I can find another easy-to-remember domain. Also, I'll do some digging beforehand to make sure that I'm not overstepping any existing trademarks or copyrights. If everything works out, I'd like to give you one of these displays if and when I get the prototype unit off the ground. Would that be okay?
- lagrange77 4y agoHi pupdogg, thank you very much for the generous offer! Actually, I don't own a TV, and besides, it would be the coolest story to tell when people ask me where I got this device. So I would like to gladly take you up on the offer IF you actually end up using the name, everything worked out as you hoped and you're in serial production. I really like the design btw, clean, uniform bezels and logo-less. That's what i always look after for my computer displays. I'll drop you an email. Thanks again :)
- pupdogg 4y agoSounds good. Thank you again! For time being, I was able to purchase and reserve primitv.co and primitv.net
- zamnos 4y agoGood domains are hard to come by. I've poked at getting primi.tv and will report back.
- pupdogg 4y agoThat would be awesome! Thank you. For time being, I was able to purchase and reserve primitv.co and primitv.net
- zamnos 4y agoWhat do you think of primitive.tv? That's available via godaddy.

- atomize 4y agoNeat endeavor. PrimiTV is pretty good. I wanna play the name game. Perhaps something along the lines of: 'NOAD' - noad.tv - I could see a regular googler search for 'no ad TV' Or some other word for 'dumb', 'not smart'. Like dunce.tv. dolt. simpleton. dullard. etc. Maybe a play on the TCP error ENETUNREACH? hehe.
