RCA 7" Portable TV, RTV86073 Reviews
| 81 of 86 people found the following review helpful  A good portable TV, By Richard A Nolan (USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: RCA 7" Portable TV, RTV86073 (Electronics) The RCA 7 inch HDTV is a good portable HDTV, but it's not perfect. Surprisingly the TV does not have a built in telescoping whip antenna but a short 6 inch antenna which attaches to the TV by it's 30 inch cable. Although a whip antenna wouldn't be great it would be vastly superior to the included antenna. Curiously this set up exists in other portable TV's too. All these 6 inch vertical TV antennas are a joke unless you and the antenna can actually see the television station's transmitting tower, that's all you should expect from these antennas. Face it, would you connect a 6 inch antenna to your home TV and expect reception? This micro antenna also has a very thin coaxial cable. Without getting into the science of it, thin coax loses whatever signal it's carrying very, very quickly even over short lengths like 30 inches. Bottom line the supplied antenna and it's cable is junk. The tuner in this RCA TV is just as good as most home TV tuner's, it just needs an adequate antenna to work...

A secondary benefit was the external coaxial(RF) connector for a better antenna connection, also. The only drawbacks were the small antenna that doesn't really provide good reception and the really POOR remote control, which almost doesn't work, very difficult key responses, as well as no better reception than the Auvio unit has. Overall, a better value, but nothing to brag about. It's worth the price, though. 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful RCA 86073 - Not perfect but good enough to buy and keep, By This review is from: RCA 7" Portable TV, RTV86073 (Electronics) This is my 4th attempt at buying a portable digital TV since the over the air broadcast standard changed from analog to digital 3 years ago in June 2009. I've already been through the 7 inch VIZIO and two 7 inch COBYs. I had to return them all - what a waste of time and energy. None of them was satisfactory (see reviews) but this little RCA looks like a keeper.In my metro area, I am able to pick up 12 channels with the included antenna. The picture is bright, reasonably clear and the color very natural. The screen has a dull, non-reflective surface so you're not looking at the reflection of your own face as is the case with the pricey VIZIO which has a very shiny screen. The clarity is quite acceptable - noticeably better than the COBYs but not as sharp as the hi-resolution VIZIO which has inferior color and NO tint control. The sound is tinny but clear and it's consistent in level from channel to channel. The audio is NOT as... Read more |
