Nice TV for the price August 26, 2003 14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I've had this TV for about six months now, and have had a very good experience with it. I bought it on impulse during the 2nd gulf war to replace the 5" B&W I have at work (another Action model that I've had & abused for about 15 years now and is still going strong). The screen is about half normal TV resolution which makes text and graphics hard to read, but you can still make out a weather map and most text, and the portability makes up for it. The tuner seems good and the antenna coupling is steady enough to position it unsupported for the best signal. The speaker is at a good spot to project sound towards you (unlike some other similar handheld LCD TVs) and is easily audible in most situations. Battery life is excellent, too- I'm still on my original set of batteries! All-in-all, this makes for a great emergency TV, or just one to leave at work for tracking hurricanes or other big news stories or to bring out over lunch break, as it's small enough to lock in my desk drawer or in my car. (Speaking of which, broiling in my car in the virginia summer doesn't seem to bother it one bit.) But the screen is just too small and I wouldn't use it all the time for day-to-day viewing. Also, leave it indoors; the LCD is bright even in a well-lit room, but next to impossible to watch in full sunlight.
TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!! August 5, 2003 6 out of 11 found this review helpful
This little TV was great for the first couple of days, then it just stopped working. Tried different batteries, tried an adapter, nothing, it just quit and refuses to work. DO NOT BUY! I wish I hadn't!

This TV seemed fine the first few times we tried it (though we could not get all the local stations that we can on a full size TV with rabbit ears)but now after a couple of months we are receiving no picture. I don't know what goes wrong with them but I would not recommend it.
SENT IT BACK June 2, 2003 11 out of 14 found this review helpful
Had this TV for ONE DAY and it did not work. It was supposed to be a color TV but it seemed like Black and White when a picture did come in it was barely visual. I SENT IT BACK.
Not Good! May 13, 2003 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
I have had this portable tv for less than (and I mean less than) 30 days.. During the 1st few days, it worked fine. Unfortunately now, the tv no longer works for some unknown reason. It's not the batteries, because I am using an adapter that is fitted for this tv. Therefore, I am sending this tv back and I would not recommend.
