Sony FDL221R Watchman Color TV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This metallic deep blue, little tv/radio has an incredibly crisp picture, sparkling colors and a great sound that has more of a stereo feel to it even though the tv and radio is mono. The built in am/fm radio has clear reception with deep sound, very impressive, especially with headphones. The only not so good thing is that the speaker volume is not so strong; I used it im my car without headphones and would have liked a bit more volume. The batteries last about 21/2 hours with tv running, longer with radio. This tv has excellent tv and radio reception. I think the neck strap antenna really helps. I truly like this little gem with its vibrant blue color case and clear tv picture and recommend it highly to anyone looking for a compact quality tv/radio.

Enjoy your favorite radio and TV programs while away from home with the Sony FDL-221R Watchman TV. The device broadcasts all VHF and UHF stations on its 2.2-inch color LCD screen, and also carries an AM/FM tuner for listening to news, music, or sporting events. Reception is ensured by the innovative neck strap antenna, or, as Sony calls it, the Straptenna. To improve spotty TV or radio reception, merely move the unit and antenna strap until a good broadcast signal comes through. In addition to storing around the user's neck, the Watchman is also designed to sit or stand on a desk, bookshelf, or table for convenient viewing.
The FDL-221R includes a rocker switch on the right side of the unit for changing channels, and on/off, volume, and brightness controls on the left side. The device also offers a mini headphone jack for people who want to listen privately. With dimensions of 3.25 x 6 x 2 inches (W x H x D) and a weight of 9.9 ounces, the FDL-221R is comfortable around the neck or in the hand. The unit runs on four AA batteries--with an approximate runtime of three hours--or connects to a separately sold AC adapter.

Innovative DTV Solutions DHT235D 3.5-Inch LCD Pocket Digital TV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this set from another electronics retailer under the Auvio brand name several months ago. Like many people who live in tornado prone areas of the country I wanted to replace my old analog portable televisions with a new, digital one. Back in February 2009 I purchased a Haier 7" portable from Amazon and, with a few caveats, I've been pleased with it, but it doesn't fulfill the need I really wanted it to, which was a TV I could watch while the warning sirens are blaring and we're down in the basement - the Haier just wouldn't get a signal down there.
After reading several positive reviews of this TV on other web sites, I decided to visit the local retailer that had this set under the Auvio brand name. (I want to stress here that these are identical sets. The box and owners manual list Innovative DTV Solutions on them both.) I had a simple proposition for them: "I'll guarantee you at least the sale of a set of batteries and if this set pulls in a signal here, in the store, I'll buy it." This retailer is located in your standard, steel frame strip mall and I reasoned if it could get a signal there, it'd more then likely get one down in the basement. Long story short, it did and I bought it.
The TV and it's documentation is complete and easily understood. It pulled in almost all of the digital TV stations in my area available save one using it's telescoping antenna. I can get a solid signal anywhere in my house, no mean feat in and of itself, including the basement. Picture clarity is good, and the sound adequate for such a compact set.
I gave this product four stars only because of two weaknesses: the antenna is very thin and will have to opened and closed carefully or it will break. The set also eats batteries up, but that's not a real issue for it's intended use. Hopefully I won't have to stay in the basement a long time - LOL! The TV does have a place to plug in an AC adapter, but the adapter doesn't come with the set. For what I intend to use it for, I'll purchase an AC adapter and rely on batteries only if or when the power goes out. Other then those two weaknesses this set deserves a 5 star rating.
One last point, although it's not mentioned in the documentation, this TV DOES have a jack for an external antenna if one is needed. It's covered by a little plug and is located immediately above the head set jack. You WILL need an adapter to use an external antenna with this set.
Update:
Go to [...] for an AC and antenna adapter. If you think you're going to want both, buy both at the same time. The shipping for the antenna adapter is more then the cose of the adapter itself. The antenna adapter pulled in a more stable signal for me with a cheap RCA set of rabbit ears then the internal antenna.

Digital Prism 3.5 in Handheld Digital Lcd Tv Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The big problem with all Digital Prism TV's are the tuners. They just can not pull in the digital stations, period!
This handheld tv picked up exactly "no" stations. And Im right in a major city. Tried it in different locations citywide, and still not one channel came in. As to those prism tv's with a pull-up antenna, the 9" and 7", same story. No channels. Not one!
I did hook up my old rooftop tv antenna, and then we got all the local digital stations. But how many people cary around a rooftop antenna in their pocket??? No you will not like this tv at all. And the issue is digital prism just failed to install quality digital tuners. Companies make devices with quality good tuners... Digital Prism is not one of them. I don't really know what u'd use this tv for??? It sure can not pick up stations. So whats the point?

Tivax HiRez7 Portable 7-Inch Digital Widescreen TV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just received my Tivax RiRex7 7 Inch Digital TV from Amazon yesterday, and I am delighted with this purchase!
I was looking for just the right portable digital TV to have on hand during our hurricane season in Florida.
This was the only portable TV that I found that in addition to the rechargable Li-on batteries, also uses regular alkaline batteries. When the electricity goes out, having an alternative to rechargable batteries is a must! With the supplied antenna, and using battery power, I was able to pick up 17 digital channels! The color and picture quality are better than I anticipated. For the many features that this Tivax portable TV offers, it is a great value for the money, and well worth waiting for. The only thing missing is the "docking station" that houses the alternative alkaline batteries. Hopefully, Amazon will be offering this soon!
