Just a great product

You've got to really nitpick to find something not to like about this product... It works, it's cheap, it's lightweight. I bought this to put in my wife's craft room to watch while she works on crafting and it does exactly what I hoped it would do. She can also carry it from room to room with one hand... easily. Cons (picky, picky, picky) * During auto-scan, says that it finds more channels than it really does, so you have to flag them individually * Volume is okay for a quiet room, but might be a problem if there is background noise. Pro's * It works (Picks up everything on cable that the full-size 46" LCD tv does) * Great picture * Has input jacks for composite devices (like older DVD) * Built-in rechargeable battery * External antenna that connects to a standard F-59 jack on the side (like your cable TV connector)

Got what I ordered, fast delivery and it works.

I got this small tv as a monitor for my D3100 when I shoot video. It works, the battery life is good and I like that it included a tripod mount. The quality is what I expected for a small tv so I can't complain that its not HD. I thought the packaging was acceptable and when I hooked it up to my cable box I noticed I was displaying at 60i. I figured out how to change the resolution to 1080i and it looks reasonably good. My purpose is using it in video recording and the small 3" lcd monitor on the back of the camera is too small for me to use. Now I have enough viewing area for my bad eye site. The con's: the speakers are very weak, but a pair of headphones solves that or any battery powered speakers. I haven't tried the antenna because I have cable. For me, its a good bang for the buck.

Great little TV, but patience pays off

I followed some of the advice already posted in the reviews and upgraded the antenna (to RCA rabbit ears, very inexpensive) right away. A couple of things I discovered that might help a few people: (1) if you move the TV from one room to another, redo your auto scan for channels, (2) if you're not getting many channels coming in (or coming in clearly), trying raising the antenna up higher (I put mine on a high shelf and immediately got double the number of channels; don't forget you have to redo the auto scan to get those additional channels); (3) the manual volume+ button on the TV gives you more volume than the max volume on the remote does. I bought this TV to use while I'm working out on my treadmill (a small price to pay to keep me motivated). I love the tripod mount on the TV, so I have great control over the height and angle of the screen. The picture is very sharp and clear, and the 7" screen is certainly big enough to see well from 3 feet away. The price here on Amazon is a real deal; it costs over $100 on other sites.

Great Picture. Battery Pack. Portable.Tips n Tricks here.

I just bought two of these Digital Prism ATSC-710 7" Portable Handheld LCD TV with Built in ATSC/NTSC Tuner (Black) About ten days ago they were listed at $36.xx. With shipping they came to just under $50 each. I have been looking for a smaller portable TV since my good old Casio handheld was relegated to paper weight status with the digital change over. I selected this brand for the price and the fact it has a rechargeble (on board) battery pack. Cosmetically, this is a very nice looking unit. The picture, when you can get a signal, is spectacular. I had no illusions that reception with a small aerial is spotty at best. Movement of any kind is fatal to receiving the digital signals. Those that complain simply don't get it. The main purpose I purchased these were for emergency/storm/power outage reasons. Here are a couple of work arounds to getting a good signal. Using the supplied antennae or another larger antennae run the set up search for channels. Get the channels you desire locked into the data base. You may have to go outside. Now that the data base is set you can navigate to your preferred channel. Next time you may have to adjust the antennae or move the unit around, but if there is a signal your channel will play. I found decent reception even while in motion in a vehicle WHEN TRAVELING IN THE PROPER DIRECTION. Turn and you then have to realign the antennae. Just saying, no way around that. Here is how I set up for at home use. I have internet via a cable provider but a satellite for TV. I was told (?) that the cable company can only send a minimum signal. Therefore, I was receiving some of their basic cable package along with my internet signal. Using a basic cable splitter I provided signal to both my modem and the tv. Modem still works fine and then I ran the set up on the tv. Net channels on the tv clocked in around 50. The main one's I was looking for are the locals for during storms when bad weather interferes with the satellite signal. I went one step further. I have a small 700 watt inverter hooked to lawn tactor battery. When the power goes out, I unplug the power strip that powers the modem, tv, and wireless router and run them off the inverter. Tv, internet during no power scenario. Overkill? Maybe. Living in north tornado alley of Iowa, (and in a mobile home to boot) I take it seriously. I haven't tested the battery pack longevity, but the manual gives around two hours use. As I said, the main reason I chose this unit was the price when I saw it because I wanted two. One for home and one for if I have to bug out. Btw, a vehicle power port cord is included. Great little tv with a great picture if you have a good signal or are using cable/sat for your feed.

Handy little device, decent tuner, needs better antennae.

The battery still lasts about 3 hours, the reception in the suburbs is still good depending on the antennae. The included extendable packs up real well, but isn't as useful as an external one (which can be attached without needing an RF adapter). There's also composite A/V input (audio-only does not work unless there's video too). The sound is very noisy and can't go terribly loud (the difference between 50% and Max isn't much), the screen brightness is average. It's a nice travel TV, but like most portables, don't work very well while moving. The kick-stand is nice, but could use some tweaking to adjust the viewable angle (which isn't so great). For $50, this was much better than I expected. It's only been a month; here's hoping it's durable.

Prism 7" TV Excellent Product Overall

Firstly, it was amazing how fast this unit was shipped, two days and it's here!! I ordered this little TV to use in my RV in conjunction with the on board Sansui 19" Digital W/DVD that is about a year old. The on-board unit works fine, the only set back it draws alot of battery power, that is a problem while dry camping. I connected this Prism 7" Digital Prism ATSC-710 7" Portable Handheld LCD TV with Built in ATSC/NTSC Tuner (Black) to the RV antenna that already has an amplifier. Incidentally my neighbor has a competitive 7" model and it's nearly impossible to connect the coax, on this Prism even with my big fingers I can easily turn the connector to make a good connection. The sensivity of this Prism TV is noticeably better than the Sansui so I get many more stations.. sometimes the Sansui doesn't find any stations and the Prism finds several analog stations and even digital stations!! The 12V adapter plug charges the TV nicely. Shucks I even use the remote to adjust settings and sometimes change channels. Can you imagine even a "sleep timer" included in the menu. This is truly a winner and a keeper.

Best rechargeable TV anywhere

I was hesitant to purchase because of price. But the cheap ones do not offer the quality of picture. This tv picks up more channels then I thought it would, bought it for hurricane, works great, very satisfied. i would highly recommend it.. My brother has his Prisim for 7 years , he showed me his and it still works great.

It's just as promised

I'm used to companies overstating the capabilities of products so I was surprised to discover that this little TV did everything it promised, and did it well. I was going to make a joke about mounting it on my windshield in front of the driver's seat so I wouldn't have to see the lousy drivers on the road. Thinking about it, I decided that people might not take my positive rating seriously. But this unit does a great job. You can hook it to cable or satellite, drive it with output from various players, or use the built in tuner to receive local over-the-air TV signals. The picture is crisp and clear, adjustments available to tune it just so. Sadly, the unit was good enough that when our home was broken into, someone out there took it with them as one of only five stolen items. It's portability and ease made it a prime target apparently. So here I am buying another one; it was that good.

It is what they don't say...

Overall, this TV works just fine for my purpose, now. I bought this after asking other purchasers if it could be mounted on a camera tripod. I receoved numerous 'Yes' responses although the product description does not mention it. Upon receipt, it did have a tripod mount socket in the bottom. I don't know if it is me or not, but my tripod shoe screw would not screw into it. I took the TV and my tripod shoe to a friendly machine shop and after checking it out, they told me it was a metric threaded socket. They solved my issue by rethreading my tripod shoe screw. Now I can mount the TV as I wanted, so no complaints. Except now I cannot use my tripod show with any of my cameras! It would be VERY helpful if the product description made it clear wether or not there is a standard(SAE) or metric tripod socket on this TV!

Review of Digital Prism 7" TV

Needed an item like this because I do art shows on the road and work out of a small camper where space is at a premium. I need to get the local weather and catch a little news or something before turning in. I have tried it out in many locations. Unit arrived in great shape, packed well. Out of box did a quick scan and picked up a few channels before the battery went dead.. I had not charged it yet. When fully charged, I find you get a respectful viewing time but generally I plug into the a/c. Remote is nice feature and works just like any other, albeit small. In the Pittsburgh area it picked up about 11 channels on the provided antenna no problem. In State College, Pa it only picked up the University PBS station YUCK, (sorry, I had to throw that in) until finally I wiggled the antenna to get a local station where I found the weather. Size is awesome, slips right into my attache. Bottom line....everything worked as stated for me. Well worth the money for all the features and accessories with it.
