Portable TV : What is it?
| Portable TVs are small televisions designed for outdoor and travel use. They are more compact in design than the standard TV sets at home. They usually feature a two- to five-inch screen, an internal or external antenna, a channel tuner, and a power switch. They are mainly powered by batteries, but most models are made with removable power plugs that allow them to operate using electricity if a power outlet is available. Portable TVs are ideal for watching movies or TV programs while walking along the park, standing in line, or doing chores at certain areas of the house. |
