5.0 out of 5 stars Great value, great product, December 13, 2004
By Fruit Loop (Down South) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I bought this to use during hurricane season and it more than paid for itself. I was able to get tv stations while the power was down and more up to date, detailed weather and damage reports than the radio gives. It's also been wonderful for car trips, camping, etc, when I wanted to "get away from it all" but still be informed as to what was going on in the world. Highly recommend as an emergency backup as well as a fun item.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Enough For The Tent In My Opinion, December 9, 2005
When it gets a little too dark to do anything outside at the campground, and the nearest town closes at sunset, I enjoy reading a good book or watching a little television before calling it a night in my tent. I flip on my little Coleman tent fan, bed down in my sleeping bag, and turn this little television made by Coby on. Sure, it isn't the most fascinating creation on the block, but it will catch most local channels within range of a campsite pretty good. Just look at the price. Do you expect it to catch everything?

It's the perfect addition to any tent campers' arsenal because it provides a TV and AM/FM radio that allows you to keep up with weather and watch a sitcom without having to tote around some huge contraption. It's very lightweight, the picture quality is good, and the radio works very well.

Keeping with the cheapskate motif, I broke down and bought a cheap set of rabbit ears that I carry along with me. They help out the TV reception in leaps and bounds, and I recommend that anyone who plans to use this portable boobtube with any regularity should invest in a set.

Overall, a good, budget-worthy purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap Trash!, May 26, 2005
If I could give this piece of junk NO stars, I would.

Coby has never been a favorite of ours [all of their products seem to be "disposable"], but the price enticed us to buy two of their 5" TV's to take along camping. I should have known. After an hour, the first TV [along with the radio] died. We switched over to the second one, and got a whole TWO hours before rigor mortis set in. Yes, we checked to see if it was the batteries, but it wasn't. Neither one worked on AC or DC.

As Johnny Cochran might have said, "save a buck and you're out of luck".

Do yourself a favor, and pay a few $ more for a better brand.

Let's first understand that we're talking about a $14.50 TV. By itself this is not the most complex item in the world nor does it cost that much. Read more

I very cheap TV. After using it in the kitchen for about a week, it has now been taken out of service and has become another storage item. I would not recommend purchasing one.

The product was delivered on time. It's great to watch TV next to my computer. Channel 2 comes in fuzzy but that is alright. It is also good to have around when the power goes out.
