Comments about RCA 3.5" LED Portable Digital TV (Gray):
This is an excellent little tv for over the air broadcasts. Far exceeds the channel grabbing potential of my previous Digital Prism tvs. The battery life is about 2-3 hours, but sufficient to get through a storm. 4 stars only because it does not come with an ac power adapter (which it really needs).

Comments about RCA 3.5" LED Portable Digital TV (Gray):
What's good: Price is right. Disposable batteries are cheap and easy to replace. Built-in antenna seems adequate for location -- relatively flat terrain, with strong TV signals. What's not: The manual is so abbreviated it's virtually worthless. No info on AC connector (what type, where to buy) or on external antenna connector (ditto). External antenna outlet does not accept standard adapter for coax. 800 number in manual does not answer.
Comments about RCA 3.5" LED Portable Digital TV (Gray):
I have an older 7" LCD that I've been using for emergencies, but it doesn't work very well and has an internal battery that always low whenever I needed it. I bought this as a replacement, because it uses common batteries (I've got lots of AA rechargeable's), it performs better and its more portable.

Comments about RCA 3.5" LED Portable Digital TV (Gray):
Over the years I've collected passively, over 10 analogue-signal pocket TVs that I will occasionally haul out to play with using an aligator-clip to connect to cable and watch just for fun. This little TV is really valuable to take places and use while waiting where a book is hard to consentrate on. I'm blown away at the bright, clear picture and easy-to-use menu. Cudos to RCA!!
