This is a very good TV especially for its small size. It has a good quality picture, with good convergence. The overall size for this with a 9-inch tube is the smallest in this class.
It works well on the supplied antenna. FM radio is a bonus as is the full-featured remote control. An AC/DC, TV with all these things is hard to get in such a small package.
Price is reasonable for this size AC/DC set and Philips is there to stand behind it.
This unit is new to me and I only have owner it for a short time. If it last as long as my
Toshiba 5-inch AC/DC monitor, ( 20 years) I'll be happy.

I have been looking for a 9" under the counter television. Every item I look at is not in stock. Are you in business or not ? The Philips PR0930X I'm looking for has been backordered for some time. As a matter of fact - I don't see anyhting on your site that is available. Heck of a way to run a business. If you don't have merchandise available you can't serve your customers - what customers you may have left. Provide a service or get out of business - the getting out of business part will take care of itself with this kind of product availability.

This is a nice TV overall but it has a "design flaw" that you should know about before purchasing it.

I record both video and audio only (radio broadcasts) on my VCR. It works fine when there is video but when trying to play "audio only" video tapes or listen to audio only through my VCR the audio section of the TV shuts down completely (silence). This is not a problem with any other TV I own.

In other words, for this TV to work properly it needs a video signal. If not it will not work, it will not play accept audio without video being present.

Finally, when I called Philips Magnavox tech support it was like I was talking to a turnip. No matter how many times I tried to explain my problem to the tech he kept telling me that the problem was in my VCR, the connection, etc., even after telling him numerous times that it played video just fine. He just didn't get it. I asked for his supervisor and he wasn't much better.
