 It Does what I Expected January 10, 2009
A good product at a good price. It is easy to set up, and has a very nice picture and sound. Previous reviews indicate that the best picture is with the auxiliary antenna. A sticker on the screen itself recommends the auxiliary antenna. I used it and am well satisfied.
Great Portable TV January 9, 2009
This was a gift for my daughter but after I saw how easy it was to setup and use I bought one for myself.
 Same old junk January 9, 2009
It appears that the same 7" TV is sold under a dozen brand names and they all share the same problems:
1) Their is little or no reception of digital DV on the analogue antenna.
2) The battery life is useless for an emergency TV and you cannot use AA.
3) A rooftop antenna works but that defeats the meaning of portable.
4) The picture is washed out.
5) The sound is poor and volume cannot be controlled by remote.
At present you can get better results from a USB digital tuner attached to a laptop (same antenna and power problems - but laptops last longer).
In the digital world the only portable solution that works is the DirecTV portable unit with a portable car battery unit as the antenna problem has been fixed but it will work in your home in a power out and in your car or truck anywhere. The typical unit here and elsewhere are garbage.
Impressed! Only limited by digital signal strength. January 9, 2009
I bought this unit to replace an old black and white emergency TV. I plan to use this while I exercise and for travel. I have only used it a day, but am so far very impressed. Plugged it in to charge the battery and turned it on and it started scanning for channels. It gets all the channels that my big TV with a converter box gets. I have not yet even had to use the external antenna, the built in antenna is working great for me. The reception is great, all over my house, but I do live close to a major metropolitan area. (The analog signals it picks up are a bit fuzzy, but the digital are great.) If you are having trouble with the reception, don't blame this TV, blame your location and weak digital signals from the TV stations.
I love the portability of the unit. While watching a game, I can take it into any room of my house and I look forward to taking it outside to watch TV on my patio. The unit itself seems well-built and sturdy. I like the fold-out stand in the back and it has a tripod mount on the bottom. I have not yet tested the battery life, but the 100 minutes as advertised in the manual seems quite reasonable. Note, the car charger does not charge the battery.
As much as I like the TV, I can't give it five stars for these minor issues. I wish the options on the remote, such as the guide, where available from the unit's menu controls. The antenna is not adjustable toward the front, only side to side or back. And as others have noted, I wish the remote had volume adjustment, but it does have a mute. The unit does have brightness adjustment, but not color. A carrying case, or some type of screen protector, would be a nice addition. Would also like to see a foldable handle or something to make it easier to carry. I also have to knock the instruction manual for all its typos. Finally, I think it seems a bit expensive, just for a little TV.
If you are in the market for a portable digital TV, this one should work for you until other options become available. And again, don't blame this TV for the limitations of digital TV if you are having reception trouble. Any station that is fuzzy in analog will be all or nothing with digital. (Note, this seems to be essentially the same model that is available at Best Buy and Radio Shack.)
LOVE IT ! January 9, 2009
