Features To Consider When You Are Looking To Buy A Battery Operated TV

By Eric James


With the invention of LCD screens your average battery operated TV is much more advanced than models of recent years. Quite a few models are now on the market that will easily slip into your pocket. Now you can enjoy your favorite shows anytime, anywhere, even while you're out camping with your family. Keeping your kids entertained has always been a bit of a challenge while you are out camping. Easily achieved with a battery operated TV. Let your kids drift off to sleep in front of their favorite evening show.

If you regularly go places where there might be no reception a portable battery operated TV DVD player is the way to go. Many come with SD slots and are Divx compatible so it's easy to fit multiple movies on one SD card rather than take a pile of DVD's with you. You can easily convert your kid's favorite DVD's to Divx and fit quite a few hours of TV on a large capacity SD card. Make sure you include some movies for the grown ups as well.

When you are choosing a model that is right for you make sure you demo it in store before purchasing. Some cheaper LCD screens demonstrate what is known as motion blur. This happens when fast moving pictures cause the screen to blur. More expensive models will keep this phenomenon down to a minimum or eliminate it all together.

Also take note of the viewing angle. Viewing angle is the maximum angle you can view the TV from and still get a good picture. Most portable battery operated TV's will be viewed from the front so it is not as crucial. If more than one person is going to be viewing the TV at a time then you give the viewing angle more consideration. LCD screens that are 7 inch screens are the most heavily manufactured. This size represents a good price point as mass production brings the price down quite dramatically. The brighter the screen the better the picture viewing will be in brightly lit areas. The higher the resolution of the picture the better the picture quality will be.

How long the batteries last between changing or charging is yet another consideration you might want to factor into your decision making. You will more than likely receive an AC charger with your TV but if the unit uses standard batteries you may need to purchase a wall charger. Getting a 12 volt charger so you can recharge in the car is also another handy feature you may want.

Miniaturisation of technology can also be life saving during times of natural disaster. A portable radio has always been the mainstay of every household's emergency kit but with the miniaturisation of technology it is now possible to keep a battery operated tv handy as well.

National emergency information is also broadcast over TV these days so make sure you can receive it with a battery operated TV. There are many portable TVs on the market these days but for it to be any good in case of emergency it needs to run on disposable batteries.

Another amazing development for TV on the go is the portable satellite TV system. The PocketDish is one such system you can take with you but it's not an actual receiver. You simply record your favorite shows on the device before you leave and enjoy them at your leisure. Not only does it record your favorite shows but you can put every other media on it as well including photos, music and games.

DirecTV have a complete portable satellite receiver system that you can take anywhere. With a 17" LCD screen it's a bit too big to fit in your pocket but it can be taken just about everywhere as it's self contained in its own fold up case that is easy to transport. An excellent piece of technology for taking to the beach, camping or having a tailgate party.

Why go forego your entertainment if you don't have to, no matter where you are. If you like to travel around and enjoy portable entertainment why not visit my web-site at battery operated tv for lots more good ideas on ways to make your next vacation a lot more entertaining.
