up to 5-inch

I purchased this unit for my wife for Christmas and, so far, it is the best money I have spent in a long time. It pulls the stations in very well, i.e., it seems quite sensitive. The picture is small but, after all, you probably wouldn't buy it to use as the main TV at your Super Bowl party. For personal viewing, it is more than adequate. The automatic tuning locks right on the channel and the built in folding stand is quite nice. 4 AA batteries provide the power which I will report on later when I get an idea of how long they last.

Having not heard of the "Action" name and not yet seeing a picture on Amazon's site, I was a bit hesitant to purchase this item. I live in a fringe reception area and did not expect much from the unit at my home... and did not get much either. But, since then I have taken it on the road to try it various places and yesterday to San Francisco for a ball game (my main purpose for such a device anyway) and was not disappointed in the least. In fact, the woman in front of me had a little Radio Shack unit and her reception was very borderline while mine was sharp and clear. The screen size is sufficient and the contrast options seem to be as good as any for viewing in the sunlight during ballgames. I have no expereince with any other handhelds, but hear that they all eat batteries. I used rechargeables and got good results for 3-4 hours it seems, and would guess that alkalines would do better even... either way, enough for a ballgame. I got good results in several hotels along a recent road trip as well on both UHF and VHF channels. From what I can see, you won't do much better elsewhere for the price. Go for it.

I got good receptions in a remote area. I used it in a ball game and watch live telecast and it worked well! It's a power hungry unit thought. Get some recharagealbe batteries ready when you go out with it.
