 Good little TV February 14, 2010
Karen H. (Missouri)
I was pleasantly surprised by the picture on this 7" screen. I really like the TV. Cons-you can't control the volume with the remote, and the antenae doesn't have very strong reception--can't pick up all of my local channels. I haven't tried using it with just the battery, so can't comment on the battery life. Overall, though, this is a good little TV for the price.
Excellent Quality Portable, Some Shortcomings February 12, 2010

Our set was purchased through Amazon via Citi's ThankYou Rewards program. It's a well-made, high-performance portable with a few distinct design idiosyncrasies. Set-up is easy and intuitive, whether the remote control is used or not. If connected to cable, the PVD700 can index all Clear QAM digital signals and will automatically suppress display of discrete cable signals for which no picture is available. [We have a traditional analog feed from Time Warner, so digital pass-through signals from broadcast stations were found, but cable-only networks like CNN were not because this set uses a legacy-free ATSC/QAM-only tuner.]
While auto-detect on the 75-ohm coaxial input can handle either over-the-air or cable signals by menu selection, there are no auxiliary line inputs (Composite, S-video, Component, or HDMI) whatsoever, and just a headphone jack output. A small cabinet like this one may not have room for such, but I have seen suitable breakout-cable accessory solutions for this. I would love to have seen an SD-card slot; this set could also function perfectly as a handy photo/video viewer. The included portable antenna is very attractive and convenient with its magnetic base, but can pick up ONLY UHF-band ATSC signals. Channel aliasing is now common, with many legacy VHF stations (2-13) now in fact digital in the UHF spectrum, but you must obtain a different type of antenna to receive any "real" VHF channels on the PVD-700. [Fortunately, one local VHF station here also puts its primary channel in 4x3 on the -3 of another station it owns, and another has its own local UHF digital repeater.] Channel memory is separate for cable and OTA but only the latter can be manually tweaked after an auto-scan.
The remote control is slender and attractive but with many small, narrow buttons. You can change channels or mute the sound, but you can't set volume or turn the set on/off, because the PVD700 has a rotary-thumbwheel potentiometer and a physical slide-switch instead of pushbutton controls like most modern TV's. However, this set is less remote-dependent than most devices; if the remote's Display menu button were replicated on the TV then there would be no functional dependency except for the channel-editing delete/favorite/hide performed by the remote's red/green/yellow buttons. Aspect ratio (4x3, 16x9, 16x9 movie) can be changed from the Display menu, or via a small dedicated key on the remote which should be larger and more conveniently placed, as this TV can't auto-preset it by channel or program data as my Zenith converter box can.
If you own an iPod or iPhone you are familiar with rechargeable devices having a non-replaceable battery; this Philips TV is also in that category. The very compact AC adapter charges the battery only when the power switch is set to "off"; a red indicator goes out when charging is complete. Three hours of playing time is expected; the Display menu has a 5-level power-save setting in addition to the regular brightness control. While the adapter is 9 volts (tip-positive) the set's input will accept up to 12 volts, making the PVD700 car and RV-friendly. [However, ATSC signals were never designed for optimal reception inside a moving vehicle; your kids in the back are better off with DVD's.] An easel-stand pop-out is built-in for tabletop viewing, but the manual makes no mention of the pair of wall-mounting recesses on either side of it, or where suitable accessory hardware might be obtained.
Just add a protective carrying case with pouches for the antenna and AC adapter, and a 12-volt vehicle cord, and you will have a go-anywhere TV that won't disappoint. I have previously enjoyed Norelco and Magnavox products, and expect that long-term ownership of our PVD700/37 will be equally as satisfying.

I purchased this tv for my husband to watch in the kitchen while cooking or outside while grilling. It is fantastic and worth every penny. The picture is fantastic and it even has a magnetic antenna. This was such a great gift that is very functional and now he can watch football anywhere he wants!

Hi everyone,
Just purchased this 7" Phillips TV for my mom for Christmas, it is very good. With the Digital conversion from analog to digital I was unsure if I would get one because I didn't know if it was going to get the channels. But to my amazement I did receive all of my channels here at the Metro-Houston Area. The small antenna does wonders; I was even able to pick up channels that I can't get on my regular TV.
It was ready to use, comes with a wall adapter, remote control, & built in battery last a little above the 2.5 hr mark. Remote control has no volume up or down and also can't turn off the TV; but my guess is since it is a small TV, why would you need a remote since you have to be close to it anyways ^_^. Haven't tested it in a moving vehicle but if I moved the antenna too much the TV says it can't pick up the channel so my guess is that in a moving vehicle it will be a little difficult to pick up channels.
All I wish now is for an SD slot, Mp3 slot, and DVD player; it will be great if Phillips decided to make one. :)Will recommend to all my friends.
