Summary: Great little Tv for the price
Review: I bought this cute little Tv to take on road trips and for entertainment while I'm in the bathtub. The screen is small, but adequate. If you're going on a long road trip it's great to watch movies on or even hook up your PS2.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Poor reception
Review: I had high hopes for this little TV after reading all the great reviews. The reception is horrible even though my old and very cheap b/w TV works great in the same location.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: unremarkable tv
Review: I have been looking for a wireless tv forever due to frequent power outages where we live. I had high hopes for this one based on reviews. You cannot put it on the channel you want, it operates on its own, scanning until it hits on a station which is very frustrating. the battery compartment falls off and operates very poorly on battery. It has minimal reception and picture when it is plugged into an outlet.
I would never order another product from this company and am returning the tv.

Summary: Late Night with a 5" LCD TV
Review: I looked everywhere for a small TV to put on my night stand. My wife has to get up early in the morning and I don't have to be at work until 10 am, so I usually stay up late and watch "Letterman". I wanted a small, but good quality LCD TV to put beside me with earphone and video/audio input connection so I could hook up my VCR/TV Tuner directly to the little LCD TV. It worked perfect. Sound quality is very good (**** stars), picture quality is great for a small LCD TV (**** stars), and I can use the remote control to my VCR/TV Tuner to turn the channels and monitor the source from the TV tuner that is built in to the VCR. I purchased mine at Kmart for around $109.00 on sale. I wish I had bought 2 of them. A GREAT LITTLE TV.

Summary: Great 5 inch color tv
Review: I love this little tv,it's very flat only 2 inches wide and lightweight,the LCD screen is very clear and gets good reception.Looks great and people can't believe the great price.The only thing I would change would be the channel changer,you have to repeatitly push button to change channels

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good picture if you get a good one.
Review: I purchased this from someone on www.amazon.com and I purchased one of them from a local electronics store. The one I bought on www.amazon.com has a perfect picture but, the one I bought from electronics store (it was bought new) had a picture were everything had a red tint to it. From the reviews I had read before I purchased tv, some people said it had a good picture and some said it didn't. Apparently some of the screens have something wrong with them from the factory and some don't. So, the question is do you think you are lucky enough to get one of the good ones?

Summary: A 'must have' storm essential
Review: I really missed the weather updates during Hurricane Charley (although I did have a wonderful NOAA weather radio!) Testing this TV before Frances hits, it is working fantastically!!! It runs on 8 AA batteries, and you can plug in a VCR or DVD if you want. I've added an external antenna and it ROCKS! I'll let you know how it does during the storm and afterwards!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: nice little LCD TV
Review: I've had this TV for almost a year. Shopping around, it's hard to find a similar sized, nice LCD TV for the price. Pros: surpisingly nice video, good colors, light weight and small size, good/functinoal stand. The cons: not cable ready and it does not remember the last station when powered off/on. I bought an antenna / cable adapter (even tho it's not cable ready), and it does display a few cable stations. The tuner works well from the telescoping antenna.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: problems
Review: is a big problem that I can^t buy this very good product in my country mexico, perhaps any day it`s will be, a reality.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The perfect hurricane (and Xbox) companion
Review: It's amazing what you find out when you don't have power for a while. After Hurricane Charley tore through Orlando, we were left without electrical creature comforts for five long days. One of the worst things was not being able to see local TV radar to know what the storm was doing. But hey, this was a once-in-a-lifetime event, right?

Well hello, Frances!

After learning another hurricane was planning to head in our direction a few weeks later, I decided to find a battery-powered television to help us get through the ordeal. The 5507 had the biggest screen I could find, along with all the accessories I wanted with a nice price to match. It was shipped overnight and arrived one day before Frances... talk about cutting it close.

I couldn't have been more pleased with my choice. The image is crisp and clear, and the reception is just what you would expect when you're dealing with airborne signals. Some channels will come in fine, others barely if at all. But when your cable is out, you take what you can get. Battery life is about as advertised, roughly two hours on a set of 8 AAs (and nobody is buying up AAs for emergencies, so they're easy to find). You can go with a smaller TV that uses less, but you won't have much fun straining to see weather maps on a 2.8" screen. The 5507's full 5" display is perfect for extended viewing. You also get house and car power adapters, for those times when you have power.

Why only four stars? It's a great little set, but not perfect. Why can't someone build a portable TV that dials in channels like a real set? This one uses the tried and true (and very annoying) "vertical line searching" method. And it doesn't remember any settings (except volume), so you'll be back to starting at the first channel after you turn it off.

Since Frances hit, I've used it as a monitor for Xbox gaming - great for gamenights on the go. And we were back to TV viewing with the arrival of Jeanne this past weekend. After watching it through two hurricanes, I can safely say you won't go wrong picking up this little bugger... it'll be your best friend when you really need it.
