Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Just the ticket for sports events, camping, dorm rooms, or coffee breaks, Casio's EV-680 offers handheld TV quality and convenience. The set produces crisp, lively images using a 3-inch color, anti-glare, thin-film-transistor (TFT) active-matrix LCD with a 122,320-pixel screen (approximately 404 x 303). And, at about the size of a small stack of 3 x 5 cards, the TV slips easily into any purse or jacket pocket.

Other features include auto channel tuning and a set of audio/video input jacks so you can use the set as a monitor for a DVD player, VCR, camcorder, digital camera, or gaming console. A monaural earphone jack affords private listening using optional headphones, and there's also a jack for hooking up an external antenna, though a telescoping antenna comes built-in.

The set runs for about 3 hours on 4 AA batteries (not included), and it features an input for use with an optional AC/DC power adapter.

Folks what do you expect from a portable tv!? It's working fine for me. Common sense tells me, it all depends on where you live. Some areas get good reception, some area don't. One trick, use the antenna and the antenna wires (most wires will do) at the same time. It does help. Compare to other portable tv's, this one is doing fine for me. Enjoy.

This was a gift for my husband. He uses the TV when he is in his truck traveling. He likes it because it is color and small enough to go anywhere.

Keeping in mind that analog television signals will be extinct in another year or so, I think this TV is a bit overpriced.

Having said that,

It's everything you would expect from a battery operated portable television of this size. The controls are simple and the picture is acceptable.

The fact that a protective case for this thing has to be special ordered for an additional 15 or 20 dollars is a drag but what can you do? You either need it or you don't.
