Axion ACN-5318 1.8-Inch Portable Color LCD TV

This is a great little tv. The picture is so clear, I can read the scroll on the news. The downside is that it really sucks up the battery juice. Oh yeah, it will be obsolete in one year, once HD goes into effect.

PROS: Low price, LCD, AC/DC, AV inputs, headphone jack, auto mutes built-in peaker when headphones are used, decent battery life and overall ease of use.

CONS: No supplied AV cables or AC adapter, mono output, and it doesn't fit in my shirt pocket.

BOTTOM LINE: This was the least expensive TV I could find for our annual IL to AL car trip with two kids. I paid $28+ at Sam's Club in November 2003. The unit worked wonderfully as a TV; but, reception was glitchy at times on the highway; but then so was my cellphone. We bought a second one when we returned home.
RECOMMEND: Yes

For:
Color:Good
Response:quick
Control: good
Size:compact
Channels availability: lots of

Against:
1.8" is a bit small.

I bought this as a gift for my finicky father, an avid TV watcher. He loves it! He is amazed at the picture quality, and can't get over how easily it dials to the right channel. He has used it to stay abreast of big games while playing golf, or to have on hand whenever. The only complaint is it runs through the batteries fast, which raised the total price for use. We ended up buying a battery charger to help.

It's been six months since he received it and he still loves it and uses it often.
