all lcd tvs

This portable has excellent picture quality and very good reception. The LCD screen makes it much more compact than other 5" color TV's. I carry mine in an old Zip drive tote bag - including all its accessaries. The low power consumption of the LCD is also why it uses smaller batteries (8 AA's) than other TV's. It's still small & light even with the battery pack attatched, and cheaper to operate on batteries, too. It will also run on AC or a car's 12v lighter. You can connect an external antenna or a cable box, or A/V cables to use it as a monitor. This is the best 5" color TV I've used, and I've had several. In my opinion, picture tube based 5" color TV's just became obsolete.
Although this TV doesn't have a cable ready tuner, I've never seen a 5" TV that does.

This is an amazing product. It is lightweight, has a good picture and the color and reception is very good. I had shopped at [local stores] and could not find a color tv that used current and also ran on batteries. It also can be used in the car since it comes with adapter for cigarette lighter, it can be used with DVD player, VCR and Sony Playstation. It is also a standby for an emergency or power outage. I like it so much, I would like to have another one for home since I am using it at work now to tune in to Dr Phil's talk show for now.

This little TV is basicly a good product except for a couple of things that could be improved. First, if you look straight at the screen, the picture is too light or washed out. If you tip it up some and look at an angle the picture is much better. So you have to adjust the viewing angle for a good picture. You get a good picture at only just the right angle. Second,this TV should have memory for the channels. You have to scan the whole band (from Ch. 2-13) to find your channel each time that you turn the TV on.
