About Portable Digital TVs
Portable TVs have evolved tremendously. Gone is the bulkier small TV that runs only on analog. They now come in digital format with a sleeker, flatter and more modern look. They also come with batteries and remote controls unlike their predecessors. They provide high-definition TV viewing almost as clear as the bigger TVs. With more innovation in the future, the portable digital TV will be one of the most sought after forms of portable entertainment.
Function
Portable digital televisions provide digital entertainment from the palm of your hands. They offer clear transmissions compared to their analog TV predecessor. They provide hours of entertainment such as watching TV programs, listening to music or listening to news. Some even have weather and traffic channels to provide you with up-to-the-minute weather and road conditions. You can use the portable digital TV inside or outside of your home. If you are away from your home, you can travel with your portable digital TV to get the latest news, and you do not have to miss an episode of your favorite show.
Features
Digital portable TVs usually come with a 6- to 12-inch widescreen LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) with 16:9 aspect ratio or 4:3 standard display that can deliver crisp and clear images. They have built-in NTSC (National Television Standards Committee)/ATSC (American Television Standards Committee) tuner so that you can receive both analog and digital TV signals. They also have built-in speakers and A/V (Audio/Video) input to connect to other external audio and video resources. They also have built-in rod antenna that lets you reposition it easily to get the best signals. Most models come with an AC adapter, and some even come with a car adapter, internal or external battery pack, earphone jack and remote control. They also have external antenna and A/V cables.
Types
There are two types of portable digital TVs, one that comes with both analog and digital tuners, and one that has only the digital tuner. Those with both tuners can pick the analog and digital signals in the air, and the other one only picks up the digital signals. When purchasing one, it is important to note that any digital portable TV made before February 29, 2009 that has dual tuners (analog/digital) will no longer be able to receive analog signals. Therefore, buying one with digital only will suffice. Portable digital TVs that come with High Definition can produce clearer pictures than those that do not. There also are mini DVD/DiVX that come with built-in digital TV. These types can play DVD as well as function as a TV.

The sizes for portable digital TV vary from 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 inches of TV monitor. They often come with flat screen or mini flat panels.
