Early June 2009 that old clunky analog portable TV of yours became a large paperweight as digital TV took over completely. Now the new Haier HLT10 portable LCD TV gives you the ability to enjoy your favorite television programs anywhere again. This handy little portable TV has a 10.2-inch LCD high-resolution display that switches between a 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio. It has a built-in ATSC/NTSC tuner and built in stereo speakers. It also offers audio & video in, so you can take it on a trip and watch video you’ve shot by hooking the output from your camcorder to the HLT10 A/V in. Leo plans on using one for a monitor on the road when they’re shooting video for TWiT. Watch TV late at night with headphones plugged right into the HLT10. The rechargeable battery (included) offers up to 2.5-hours of life between charges. The TV comes with two stands, one of which is removable. One holds the TV a few inches off the desk or counter. The other is a stand that folds out from behind the set if you prefer it to take up less room. The HLT10 includes an AC power adapter, a car adapter and a remote control. It also includes a single rod antenna which offered only very limited reception when I tried it. Once I hooked it up to plain old rabbit ears on my boat, I received 10 HD channels. The picture quality is very good. You can also hook this unit to cable, satellite, or an external outdoor antenna, even watch videos stored on your iPod. $179.95. The photo shown is the new model with the removable stand. There are photos of the first prototype floating around that look a bit different. But this is the production model.

This is the lowest price I could find - $159. (But I never bought anything here.)
