RCA L2500BC 2.5-Inch LCD Screen TV
Great TV but Iffy Reception
I bought the 1.8&quot; 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.<br />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.<br />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.
