 Not fully ready for prime time May 17, 2010

I bought a unit on 16 May from an Office Depot - on sale at some forty dollars. It has a weak tuner - or at least in conjunction with the furnished antenna the tuner does not pull in much. This is the same experience I had for a 7"LCD that I bought and returned to JCPenny.
I'll keep this one as it is marginally better.
I suppose attaching it to another and much better antenna the reception may be somewhat better - but then there goes the portable nature of the beast. Sound is weak as one can imagine since it is produced by itsy-bisty speakers - no bass here.
This is an imperfect execution of a portable 7" LCD TV. Yet it seems to be on par or maybe slightly better than some others - especially at the offered price of about 50% off the listed price of a Ben Franklin. It does deliver some value; but not enough to knocks your socks off.
Early adopters pay for privilege of testing new products - and that is certainly true in this case.
Maybe the next generation of this product will be an improvement and deliver a portable TV that receives signals and converts those into images without frustrating the owner of the device.
It is a good small TV April 27, 2010

I bought this TV from CVS and it meets my expectation because I used my USB pinnacle TV antenna and I was able to get all the local stations. I agree that it could be a little bit louder.
As for the stand, this TV do have a stand that you can pull out from the back, you do not need tripod as it was suggested by one of the comment.
For the price and with external antenna, you will not regret buying this product.
Good luck.

I purchased this product for travel purposes from Amazon's partner [...] just before Christmas. I saved it as a present for my son for a travel to Disney World over the spring break. The TV worked great for about a day. After that the tuner could not get any stations in any of the populated areas, including Orlando, FL. One day later, the LCD screen went dark and I could not revive it no matter how long I charged the battery. I called the manufacturer's tech support and they issued me a "ticket" and promised to call me about the fix. Obviously, it was a bad joke as no one ever called. Target has a 3 months return policy so no luck their either. Shoddy product, shoddy tech support, unacceptable return policy. Take your chance with this thing at your own risk.
Nice Little TV but has some quirks March 10, 2010

I bought this little TV in CVS. The picture quality is beautiful. However, the antena does not stay upright when it is extended fully. You need to fully extend it to pick up the channels. It has no stand in back so must be propped up against something. Also, the battery does not last long, so you must use the AC adapter. I considered returning it but wanted a small TV, do kept it.
Digital Prism 7" ATSC television February 16, 2010

This is a very nice little television for what it is. I purchased it at a local CVS pharmacy, for $99.00 in summer of 2008, needing to replace a 1991 model Sony B/W Watchman analog TV that we kept on our kitchen counter for watching and listening during kitchen-work.
After a year of use, after its warranty had run out, we noticed that the power-light that shows the battery charge and status level was popping on and off, and likewise the view-screen, at the same time. My husband would wiggle the power jack around and lift or move the powercord and eventually get power back to the unit. After a month of deteriorating connection, he took the unit apart and found that the powerjack connection to the circuit-board was loose. The single thin wire's solder had broken. He knows a little bit about electrical circuitry, and did some solder work on it and made a connection that delivered power, again. We used it for a very long time after that, almost 6 months, before the jack again became a problem. He experimented and figured out that the fall of the powercord, from the jack to the wall-outlet below the unit, placed a directional stress on that powerjack and its internal connection. There is a rather weighty 'filter or transformer' about 5 inches back from the plug, which pulls against the powerjack. He resoldered the powerjack's connection to the circuitboard inside back into place, again, but believes that the small hook at the upper left of the unit is to hold the cord more-or-less in place to reduce the stress on the jack. (We don't remember reading about that hook in the owner's manual. It looks like an antenna holder-bracket like what used to be found on old portable radios. Use it hold the cord. It'll save one a headache, it seems.) We've been using it like that, with the cord looped behind that hook, and haven't had any power breaks in the last 48 hours. UPDATE: This morning (2/16/10), when moving the tv, the power/charge/standby light faded from green to green-yellow, and back to green, when the power cord came out of its hook-holder and shifted because of the move. Putting the cord back in behind the hook, and giving a little slack to the cable, brought that light back to solid green.
The picture is difficult to adjust. Changing the contrast, bright, color and tint doesn't happen immediately, to my eyes. Whites and bright pictures appear washed out. If there's any dark printing against a white background, like one'll find at the bottom of newscast scrolls, the printing appears smudged. When the printing is white against the dark background, it's much more sharp. (The pre-programmed picture setting choices are Standart, Soft, Dynamic, and Personal. I use Personal, and have the 'sharpness' to 80, and the printing is still 'smudged' when dark print is against white background).
Each change of channel will show the channel number and its call letters, which is a nice thing. That's done automatically when the unit scans for new channels. The remote is small, and relatively easy to use, physically. The channel buttons are small, though. The EPG key will give description of the program on the channel, as long as there's one broadcast by the broadcast-channel.
We hope to get another 2-4 years service out of it, barring any more issues with the powercord jack.
Overall, even with our large television in the living room, using rabbit ears, reception stinks since the digital change of signal. With this Digital Prism unit, sometimes moving around the kitchen will cause the video to freeze, or turn into a checkerboard, and the audio to repeat a single, repetitive syllable, ad infinitum, until the unit is turned, the antenna is moved, or one changes one's own position in the room.
As a portable unit, we tried it in our car while traveling to Florida from Tennessee. Unless we had line-of-sight exposure to broadcast towers, the picture and audio was like described above: choppy, block-like video, repetitive syllables, or black (failed to receive signal), unlike the old analog unit we had, which would receive audio and visual while we were on the move while in the reach of a broadcast signal. Remember with analog, one can receive audio OR visual and both. With digital one can only receive video AND audio AT THE SAME TIME, or nothing at all. On the Florida trip we did NOT use an external car antenna, so it MIGHT work better like that. We weren't going to buy an antenna that we'd possibly use only once on a trip. It's ok when outdoors and the unit remaining in one place. With experimentation, we've found for our home's location, 12 miles line-of-site for all the local broadcast towers, a horizontal antenna position gets the best signal.
