Handheld/Mobile DTVs Compared
We compare and review the latest handheld / mobile TVs with built-in digital tuners. The TVs in this comparison range from entry level to fully loaded but never break the bank.
When consumers transitioned to digital only signals back in 2009, it rendered millions of battery operated TVs useless. Most handhelds were used during storms and other emergencies when power wasn’t available. All of the handheld TVs we’ve reviewed below have a built-in rechargeable battery with the exception of the last one, the Axion AXN-6979.

Axion AXN-8701 (Handheld LCD DTV) |
 |
The AXN-8701 provides a clean crisp picture, but those seeking a more mobile solution might look at other handhelds in the same class. The AX-8701 only lasts 100 minutes on a full charge, and might be a bit awkward to hold if you don’t plan on setting it down for a while. The AXN-8701 is a good pick for folks who travel frequently and want to bring a TV that can remain plugged in, yet is small enough to pack in a small bag. |
7" LCD Screen (480 x 234 Resolution) Rechargeable Battery A/V input for DVD Player or Game Console Includes AC Adapter and Car Adapter Built in antenna and external antenna input Remote Control Included

The AXN-8701 will last approx. 100 minutes on a full battery. Approximately 4 hours of recharge time is needed to fully charge the battery. |
