Coby 7 Inch LCD TV

The old days of the pictured tube that’s too small to see, no tuning, way too large “portable” TV set are gone. And good riddance! With new technology and a new standard in high def signal, there is no danger of ever going back to the way things where. One of the brands out in the market place now that is as sleek and advanced as any is the Coby 7 Inch LCD TV.

TFT means Thin Film Transfer. What does that mean to you? Well what it means is that rather than have a large, bulky 1980’s tube, there is a lighter TV for you. The screen itself is a thin layer of techno-babble, the main thing is that it is small…. Yeah, we like small.

The Coby 7 inch LCD TV features a color display duel ATSC/NTSC for picking analogue or high def and a telescopic antenna as well as a separate antenna input jack. They have even go so far as to put an integrated TV stand in every model standard. Though the contrast ratio is a little light for a standard set at 350:1, you can’t really get any better in a 7 inch TV yet.

Inputs are standard and are for composite video for your blu-ray player, RCA stereo out and coaxial antenna jacks. The AV out jack will support a 3.5mm headphone jack and can be used for external speakers. This is nice for when you are either want or not wanting to share what you are watching.

Powering this little beast is not problem at all. The Coby 7 Inch LCD TV comes standard with a 120V UL AC adapter for plugging into the wall at your home or a CD adapter for your car or boat. Nothing to plug into? It also comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a fairly decent lifespan.

Another thing to consider when looking for a Coby 7 Inch LCD TV is the fact that there are a lot of accessory options with this small package. You can add just about any sort of player onto this little wonder without fear of any sort of strange picture thing happening. This is a plus when you consider that you might not always be able to get a consistent digital or analogue signal when travelling, if you get one at all.

Coby 7 Inch LCD TV has made it easy and affordable to take some entertainment with you wherever you go. The price is affordable and the product has been rated as sturdy by most of its owners and a couple of 8 year olds I know. And if anyone knows what sturdy mean, it would be an 8 year old.
