Summary: Great TV but Iffy Reception
Review: I bought the 1.8" version of this set at a great discount here on Amazon.com and I am quite pleased with it. The active matrix LCD display ads depth and contrast to the picture comparable to tube portables. The metal stand in the back puts the set at just the perfect viewing angle for desktop use. The shape of the case is stylish and easy to hold when carrying the set about. The jacks for AV input, Ext. Antenna, and earphone mean this set can be connected to just about anything but it is best used as a battery powered carry around portable.

This set has only two notable flaws. First, the color, while quite vivid, tends to be slightly green. Second, the tuning circuit could do with an additional RF amplifier stage to overcome the slightly snowy reception on all but the strongest channels. The tuner is a little slow to start scanning when the set is switched on or when changing from VHF to UHF and it easily passes over some stations requiring you to back up the tuning bar to lock onto the channel. Once tuned in, the signal quality is consistent. I hope in subsequent versions of this set RCA decides to upgrade the tuning circuits and set the hue more accurately or porvide a customer control for color.

On the whole this is a good product that should provide many years of dependable service if you don't mind the temperamental tuner. This TV is second only to the Sony Watchman which is still the standard in miniature television.

Summary: Great little TV...
Review: I bought the 1.8" TFT model and it works just fine..the stations come in nice and clear and the sound is decent too. I like the built-in stand and input/output jacks. I had a Casio and this ones much nicer. A little larger than some but still pocket sized.

Summary: Do not buy!
Review: I have had three Sony Watchman TV's before I purchased this one. The new RCA had the worst reception out of all of them. I gave this TV to my son and bought a Sony.

Summary: Excellent reception, image quality
Review: In contrast to another reviewer, I found this TV to have far superior reception to any of the Sony and Casio models I looked at in the stores. I bought it and have been extremely happy with it. The screen is a pleasure to look at, the sound is remarkably good for such a small unit, and it is very well built, again in contrast to the other manufacturers' models.
