Good Emergency Backup TV I bought this TV in July of 2003 after a massive storm knocked out power to over 75% of the Memphis area. I finally got to use it when another storm rolled through May 30, 2004, and our power went out during a series of tornado warnings and severe thunderstorms. The nice thing about the color screen is that you can see the radar image on the news and stay informed. The digital tuner works good if you are close to the city. In the outskirts it might not be as effective. I really liked being ...

I love this litle TV!! I keep this on my desk at work. Most stations in my area come in clearly. A few are fuzzy, but that's not the fault of the TV, that happens with all portable TV's. You have to be in an area of good reception. Anyway, this little TV has a really clear picture for a portable TV!If it came with an A/C adapter, I'd give it 5 stars. But I have to dish out another $15 for the adapter.

Pass, On This One Purchased this for use during travel, but screen is NOT viewable outdoors and barely viewable indoors.
Reception is poor, unless outfitted with the Xium antenna.
The only positives include rugged, handsome case and jacks for external devices, including external antenna.
This would have been a much better product if they had included a cowling for the screen; not sure how it can be packaged and advertised for use outdoors when it performs so shabbily unde...

Great Little TV Just received this TV from Buy.com (got it in 2 days!!!). It's a great value. Very good picture and very good sound. I wanted one for the kids (and me) that I could hook up to my cable TV system. This unit has an external antenna jack that allows you to do just that. You can get a coaxial to mini-plug adapter from Radio Shack ($3) that allows you to do this.

Easy to Use, Good Reception Gave this gift to my picky brother in law - he loved it! He's been able to get reception almost everywhere - and it looks good.

Didn't do what I wanted I bought this SY-30 to use mainly as a color monitor for setting up security cameras, but it has no "contrast" or "color" or "tint" controls so the images are not able to be adjusted for viewing. The video input port requires a special adapter cable to use properly. When used as a TV, the channel scanning is slow and it takes a long time to find a TV channel you want. It has adequate reception for general TV viewing. It is built nicely for rugged use, but mine will be returned as just not good ...
