Axion AXN-8905 9-Inch Widescreen Handheld LCD TV Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great picture and sound. Finding the right place for the antenna was tricky. It seems metal objects interfere with reception, including the corners of walls. I keep it plugged in, in the kitchen to catch the news in the morning or while making dinner, so I have not tested the battery life yet. 5 months and I am very happpy.
