7" ATSC-710 Portable Handheld Widescreen LCD Digital HDTV - 16:9 NTSC/ATSC Tuners w/Car Adapter (Black)

I am exceptionally pleased with this handy little digital TV! The picture quality is great, the built-in ATSC scanner picks up lots of channels, and the remote is easy to use. The included antenna is good, however, when I'm using it at home I attach a 99-cent rabbit ears antenna and pick up more channels and more easily. I went to the 21st-floor roof of my New York City apartment and stood very still as I scanned in 35 channels (about 10 more than I got inside my apartment). Then I can move around wherever I'm using the TV to receive a channel I've already scanned in. The slightest movement of the TV or antenna can make the difference between no reception and crystal-clear reception. The sound is tinny but it's to be expected with such small speakers. When I plug in amplified desktop speakers the sound is terrific, as is using a (not-included) pair of headphones or earbuds. The battery lasted 2 hrs. and 10 minutes on a full charge. When I'm home I use the included AC adapter, of course. The 2-position fold-out stand is flimsy so I'm careful with it. There is a standard tripod screw-hole mount in the base, too. The only improvements I could think of would be to include a protective soft case and to throw in a pair of earphones. If it stops working properly I'll add it to this review, but so far I would recommend it with no hesitation. As a footnote, a week after I bought this from Target, thru Amazon, the price dropped $10 (making the total cost w/tax and shipping $63). A Target rep said that if I had bought it directly from the Target website they would have refunded the difference, but since it was thru Amazon they couldn't do it. Amazon said they would not refund the $10 that represented the sale price, so I was quite annoyed. Buying this TV thru Amazon turned out to be to my detriment in this case.UPDATE: May 19,2010--So far, 3-1/2 months of use, every day for hours (I keep it on on my desktop next to the computer for "company") and still no problems whatsoever. Very happy with my purchase.UPDATE: It is now mid-November 2010, and I'm happy to report that the TV is still working like new and I am extremely happy with my purchase. I use it almost every day, in lieu of keeping a larger TV on. I plug it into small amplified speakers, and together they only use 18 kWh as opposed to 40 kWh by my 13" set, and 137 kWh from my 32" HDTV. For some reason I don't get Ch. 25-1, 25-2, 50-1 and 50-2, but I get every other channel crystal-clear that the larger TVs get. My electric bill is more than $10 lower each month. The battery still lasts 2 hr. 10 min. on a charge. Can't recommend highly enough!UPDATE: April 25, 2012, after 2 years 3 months, the battery won't charge anymore. I'm having trouble locating a new battery, and I think it will probably be too expensive, so I'll just use the AC adapter. It will limit the portability, though.June 16, 2012: While I still love this little TV, the customer support is deplorable, that is, non-existent. The battery stopped holding a charge so I needed to buy a new one. My emails to the company went unanswered. I've tried to call their "customer support" at different times of the day, but it always rings busy. I have been unable to locate a replacement battery by myself. One of the battery specialist companies I called told me that this type of electronic item often has their batteries specially made in China for that item alone, and that replacement batteries sold alone are probably impossible to locate. Now I can only use the TV when it is plugged in, which really limits its usability.July 2012: I finally found a replacement battery that fits this TV. It is the Haier HLT71BAT replacement battery, which is made for a 7" Haier TV but fits this Digital Prism. It DOES fit, but it's a little tricky. It is sold on Amazon by Bedford Power for $20, plus $4 shipping. Forget about Digital Prism customer support. They never answered my emails, and I truly believe that their customer support phone number is permanently "busy," that is, probably off the hook! Still, a great little TV.Update Nov. 2012: Lost power, heat, electricity and water for 4 days because of Hurricane Sandy, but I still had HD TV when I connected this little gem to a 12V battery with the included adapter!

I just bought two of these Digital Prism ATSC-710 7" Portable Handheld LCD TV with Built in ATSC/NTSC Tuner (Black)About ten days ago they were listed at $36.xx. With shipping they came to just under $50 each.I have been looking for a smaller portable TV since my good old Casio handheld was relegated to paper weight status with the digital change over. I selected this brand for the price and the fact it has a rechargeble (on board) battery pack.Cosmetically, this is a very nice looking unit.The picture, when you can get a signal, is spectacular.I had no illusions that reception with a small aerial is spotty at best. Movement of any kind is fatal to receiving the digital signals. Those that complain simply don't get it.The main purpose I purchased these were for emergency/storm/power outage reasons. Here are a couple of work arounds to getting a good signal.Using the supplied antennae or another larger antennae run the set up search for channels. Get the channels you desire locked into the data base. You may have to go outside. Now that the data base is set you can navigate to your preferred channel. Next time you may have to adjust the antennae or move the unit around, but if there is a signal your channel will play. I found decent reception even while in motion in a vehicle WHEN TRAVELING IN THE PROPER DIRECTION. Turn and you then have to realign the antennae. Just saying, no way around that.Here is how I set up for at home use.I have internet via a cable provider but a satellite for TV. I was told (?) that the cable company can only send a minimum signal. Therefore, I was receiving some of their basic cable package along with my internet signal.Using a basic cable splitter I provided signal to both my modem and the tv. Modem still works fine and then I ran the set up on the tv. Net channels on the tv clocked in around 50. The main one's I was looking for are the locals for during storms when bad weather interferes with the satellite signal.I went one step further. I have a small 700 watt inverter hooked to lawn tactor battery. When the power goes out, I unplug the power strip that powers the modem, tv, and wireless router and run them off the inverter.Tv, internet during no power scenario. Overkill? Maybe. Living in north tornado alley of Iowa, (and in a mobile home to boot) I take it seriously.I haven't tested the battery pack longevity, but the manual gives around two hours use.As I said, the main reason I chose this unit was the price when I saw it because I wanted two. One for home and one for if I have to bug out. Btw, a vehicle power port cord is included.Great little tv with a great picture if you have a good signal or are using cable/sat for your feed.

Yes it is a good battery powered TV! And its probably my fault for buying it , but it is not what I wanted. I wanted a little battery powered tv I could use during hurricanes and power outages here in Florida, but this has rechargeable batteries and only has a 2-3 hour battery life. It will help but I really should have bought somehting that runs on D or C or 9V regular batteries. On the good side, great picture and we get about 40 channels, unfortunately and not the fault of the TV, 40% of the channels are relegious, 40% Spanish, and only about 3 we can actually watch, which again is ok. The set up was easy and simple . the antenna is a pain as every time you adjust it, it becomes unloosened and you have to tighten it up again by spinning it more. I would say its a great product for a kid to have in their room.

I got this small tv as a monitor for my D3100 when I shoot video. It works, the battery life is good and I like that it included a tripod mount. The quality is what I expected for a small tv so I can't complain that its not HD. I thought the packaging was acceptable and when I hooked it up to my cable box I noticed I was displaying at 60i. I figured out how to change the resolution to 1080i and it looks reasonably good. My purpose is using it in video recording and the small 3" lcd monitor on the back of the camera is too small for me to use. Now I have enough viewing area for my bad eye site. The con's: the speakers are very weak, but a pair of headphones solves that or any battery powered speakers. I haven't tried the antenna because I have cable. For me, its a good bang for the buck.
