Amazon.com Product Description

The ACN-5503's small size and five-inch color screen and built-in FM/AM radio tuning makes it ideal for sports events, camping, dorm rooms, or other portable or space-constrained applications. A set of audio/video input jacks lets you use the set as a monitor for a DVD player, VCR, camcorder, or gaming console, and the ACN-5503 comes with AC and DC power adapters for use in either home or vehicle. It also runs on nine D Alkaline batteries or an optional rechargeable battery pack (no batteries are included).

The set offers a monaural headphone jack for private listening using optional headphones. There's a jack for an external antenna, as well, though a telescoping antenna comes built-in. The set uses a bar tuning system. Its tuning range covers VHF low (channels 2 to 6), VHF high (channels 7 to 13), and UHF (channels 14 to 69), and its recommended operating temperature ranges from 41 degrees to about 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

1.0 out of 5 stars Action ACN 5503 5" Color Monitor, April 28, 2002

If you are looking for a tv to connect to cable I strongly recommend looking for another brand. This model has a plug in for an outside antenna that can be used to connect it to cable with the proper adapter (not provided), however because of a poor quality tuner it will not hold the cable channel signal.It looses the channel when the station switches back and forth from local to network broadcasting. Also when you turn the set off and on.I've owned several 5" color tv's and have never experienced this problem.The tv that I purchased was "refurbished" and it was really lousy... I'm not happy with the purchase, but I'm keeping it as it is not worth the hassle of returning it...

2.0 out of 5 stars Enjoy it while you can..., December 4, 2003

I bought one of these a couple years ago. The style and size were just what I was looking for, and the picture was fine, but it lasted only a couple of months before it stopped working. I turned it on one day and smelled the distinctive "electrical burning" smell, and the unit was fried. I got what I paid for, but hoped it would last longer than that.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great while it lasted, January 24, 2004

this small color TV was fine for less than a year. It has a great picture, even though tuning in to local channels was tricky. Within the first year the sound started to go, but I found if I turned the TV off and on quickly, the sound returned. I don't expect it to continue working at this rate. You get what you pay for!
