Coby TF-TV505 5-Inch LCD Color Television
Great Little TV
I wanted to buy a little portable, battery operated TV. I don't have a TV at home due to religious reasons, but wanted to have a TV available for weather related emergencies, to use during the Florida hurricanes.  <br /> <br />My main concern was 1) reception, since we don't have cable, and 2) picture quality. Last year, we tried to use a 5\\" B&W TV & the reception & picture quality were so terrible, I returned it to Walmart after a few days.  <br /> <br />I would be happy to be able to receive the 3 or 4 network channels to watch the hurricane news. After reading many reviews, I narrowed down my choice to the Casio 4\\" Handheld TV (EV4500) or the Coby TFTV-505 5\\" LCD Color TV. I chose the Coby because, for the same price, the Coby was 5\\" (vs. the Casio 4\\") & it included the AC adapter (a $20-25 add-on with the Casio). <br /> <br />Well, I just today received this Coby TFTV-505 5\\" LCD Color TV, tried it out & I am very pleasantly surprised. We live in North Miami Beach, FL. Right out of the box, using the internal, extended antenna, I can get 19 channels! Mind you, some are in Spanish, but 19 channels! It also comes with an adapter to plug into your cable, if you have cable. Picture quality is great. Beautiful Color! I've only tried it with AC plugged into the wall, not the batteries. It uses 10 AA batteries, that others report getting 2 - 2 ½ hours usage.  <br /> <br />Dovid
