You know the old saying "they don't make 'em like they used to?" Well, that saying definitely applies here for the RCA DHT235A. It's a shame that they don't make and sell handheld TVs like this anymore, but I'm glad people are re-selling their older models here on eBay. This is a nifty little product that feels about as lightweight as my iPhone. It has a surprisingly great picture and sound quality. The digital antenna is truly impressive. It picks up on stations in the next media market over that are clearly more than 40 miles away from my home. I love how it also has a signal strength feature that you can see on the screen for every channel. The best part, however, is the fact that it runs on AA batteries. I feel much better about this particular product in emergency situations or simply when the power goes out (which happens more frequently down here in Florida). If you look at the handheld TVs being sold today, none of them run on AA batteries. In my opinion, it's pointless to buy those products if it doesn't have that feature. The RCA DHT235 TV models seem to be one of the few products released in the market over the last decade or so that have this important feature. But even in normal, non-emergency situations, it's just fun to play with. It's been entertaining to have this handheld tv sitting on its convenient flip-stand on my work desk, dinner table, or nightstand. It's truly the perfect little size. I'm glad I finally got it. If you're looking to get a handheld digital tv -- especially to have on-hand for power outages and emergencies -- then get the RCA DHT235A. Don't waste your money on any of the "newer" handheld TVs... unless RCA miraculously decides to revive their production of handheld digital TVs for the 2020s (while keeping the AA battery feature).Read full review

Live in a rural area. Knew I would have to use an auxiliary antenna. R C A in their great wisdom used an antenna adapter that is next to impossible to find. Got two that were supposed to fit, right angle no good and other not deep enough. The tv may be fine as others have seemed to be satisfied. I may never know. Expected more from R C A.....buyer beware of small print. Thank you for listening.

I LOVE this little TV. I am addicted to tv and this tv has saved me several times when the power was out!! I just bought another one. A few years ago, I waa without power for 5 days. Thank God I had this tv. I went thru a lot of batteries, but was able to watch my football games, game shows, and nighttime dramas just like usual. Being alone, it kept me company as I snuggled up with my kitty by the fire. I have also used it when my big tv went on the blink. It is particularly useful when a tornado is near and I am taking cover. Nice to have to keep in touch with the tv weathermen while I shelter in my bathroom!!! Picture is crisp and clear and color is spectacular!!! RCA is really missing the boat by not producing these any more!!! I LOVE mine!!!

picture quality is excellent and i like the the fact it use's four aa batteries, this is a plus if you have no power to charge a tv with a built in battery. very easy to set up, antenna is a little flimsy so you have to be extra careful when extracting and retracting it,after scanning for channel's you can remove unwanted channel's and it will show signal strength of each channel, also has all sorts of color adjustments and screen size. would have bin great to have had this tv when lost power for a week do to a snow storm. one con, i wish it had a battery meter.
It is a good working digital tv, with a small screen. The antenna connector could be better and the small antenna that's built in is useless, but it works fine when hooked to a real antenna or cable.
