Pretty good
I am pretty well pleased with this little TV. I purchased it as a replacement for my analog kitchen TV, and as such, it does a good job. The only minus is that the sound is poor and the volume won't go high enough. When I have the dishwasher, fan, microwave, and water running, I need volume! Today we enjoyed looking at photos of the grand and great-grand kids through...

As for the battery complaint mentioned in the previous review; we live on the Texas gulf coast so hurricane use was a concern of ours, too. My TV came with a power cable that can be plugged into the car "cigarette lighter", and I find that much more practical than regular (or rechargable) batteries in an emergency. Regular batteries are often in very short supply when a hurricane approaches, but my car battery is always available. And the car plug-in will recharge the TVs' internal battery.
The instructions were sparse and cryptic, but if a great-gramma like me can figure it out. so can you!

I was drawn to this portable because of its ability to take usb/sd cards and use them... but it really has no use , the mpeg4 do not playback apparently they need to be avi divx files , I never heard back from tech support about exactly what the mp4 playback specs are.... the screen is not crisp or bright enough to be a real photo player..... the tv playback is ok BUT the antenna is useless , I had to use a better antenna to get a station in... the antenna jack is a phono type but the give you a coax converter - very stupid... just leave it as a coax , that made no sense to me whats so ever... Once you have a tv station up and running with a real antenna the picture was nice enough but with these stupid non standard batteries what are you supposed to do during the hurricane ? I want a portable that takes NORMAL batteries! I cant recharge this tv if the power is out ! dah!

I love this baby..Its picture is fantastic and the options to adjust color is good.
I got this strictly for back up in case of power failure. so I really don't care about the plug in cards ect..
I did have trouble with the charger, I would charge for 6 hrs. and still not full. I took my own charger and took the battery out and it charged up fine..
I like all the extras, case, cig.adaptor and earphones..
For the price I don't think you can beat it..

I was perfectly satisied with the product for the price. The battery that came with it would not hold a charge, however, so I called the customer service number for iView. A real person answered, transferred me instantly to tech support who sent out a new battery very quickly. Then somehow, I lost the coaxial adapter, I called to buy one, again live person answers, no menu, no press "1" type thing and NO wait on hold! They just took my info and are sending me out a new one FREE!!! I can only wish this company made every type of electronics I ever need to buy! 10 stars for tech support!

It is an excellent replacement for an old 19-inch and I can see it from any part of the kitchen [I have a studio condo]. At $50 the price was far better than any other option [usually $100-200].

TERRIBLE RECEPTION ESPECIALLY IN A BASEMENT WHERE YOU WANT TO USE IT IN A STORM.. PICKS UP ONLY 2 OF THE 6 CHANNELS IN OUR AREA AND THAT NOT VERY WELL... FALLS OVER ALOT AS DOES NOT HAVE A GOOD STAND EITHER,VERY FLIMSY.. BAD ANTENNA AND WHY DOESNT IT COME WITH REGULAR BATTERY OPTION ALSO FOR STORM AREAS WHERE YOU CANNOT RECHARGE THE DEVISE IF POWER IS OUT AND NO CAR AVAILABLE.
