Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Measuring about the size of a pack of cards, Casio's EV-550 lets you enjoy clear televised images wherever you go with its 2.5-inch active-matrix, thin-film-resistor LCD. The television--which receives VHF channels 2 to 13 and UHF channels 14 to 69--also features a speaker and an audio/video input so you can use it with a digital camera, camcorder, or other video device.

Its anti-glare screen is optimized for outdoor use (for additional perspective on a sporting event, say), and a monaural earphone jack affords private listening. The EV-550 comes with a built-in rod antenna and runs on either 3 AA batteries (not included) or an optional AC power adapter. Battery life averages three hours, and the unit weighs less than half a pound.

5.0 out of 5 stars PICTURE LOOKING GREAT!!!!!, March 3, 2002

This review is from: Casio EV-550 2.5-Inch Portable LCD TV (Electronics)

Don't judge this TV by its cheap look, judge it by its screen resolution and picture quality. I have owned Casio's models 970 and 880. They don't have as many pixels as the 550. The brightness and picture quality is superior when you put them side to side. The 550 has TFT active matrix screen while the others have passive matrix. The TFT is better under all light conditions, even under direct sun light. If you really want a TV that is good both outdoors and indoors don't buy a passive matrix tv. Get ready to have lots of fresh batteries or buy the AC adaptor from casio's website. I would not recomend getting those universal AC adaptors out there, even if you set them up to match the handheld specifications, it can eventually burn your screen and your TV won't turn on again. The warranty doesn't cover this kinda thing since you are not using casio's certified AC adaptor. Believe me, it happened to me once and I have heard a lot of sad stories of dead handeld TV's once they are hooked to generic adaptors. SO, play safe, take care of your investment and enjoy!!!!

Active Matrix-good picture and reception. Don't buy any product unless it is active matrix. For the extra $50- buy the Casio three inch model.
