I am looking to buy a PORTABLE HDTV set.

Are there any available...I can't seem to find anything but LARGE sets
that are anything but portable.

Also I would like to hear anyone's experience with a HDTV set that is
being used while traveling in a RV.

Thanks

Look on Amazon. These are all under $500.

Sharp LC-13B6U-S 13" AQUOS HDTV-Ready
Zenith Z15LA7R 15" Flat Panel HD-Ready LCD TV
Philips 15PF8946 15" HDTV-Ready Flat Panel TV
Sharp Aquos LC-15B9US 15" HD-Ready LCD


"HD-Ready" means HD TV sets without ATSC (or QAM) tuners. The OP
didn't say, but I suspect that TMT is looking for a portable HD TV with
an ATSC tuner to pick up the local digital broadcast stations. I have
not heard of any such portable HD TVs with digital tuners on the market
yet. If the TV is for an RV, the only option may be to go for a portable
HD TV (15" widescreen is damn small however) and buy a ATSC tuner set
top box for it, but the ATSC STB will require AC power.
