Portable Televisions – What Are Portable Televisions?

Portable televisions are small television sets that can be moved from room to room without difficulty. They tend to be compact and are ideal for bedrooms, kitchens and even for your holiday home or caravan.

The quality of all audio-visual products is rapidly improving year on year, and portable televisions have become far more useful than they used to be. Early portable televisions were heavy, bulky, had relatively poor picture and sound quality and were easily damaged. The very early sets were limited in use because they all needed mains power supply. Even when battery powered sets became available, battery technology was nowhere near as advanced as it is now, which meant limited use between charging.

Not only have the advances in audio-visual and battery technology overcome these drawbacks, but many of the most exciting and useful features incorporated in larger televisions are now included in portables. A modern portable television is versatile, robust and light to carry. You can use them in virtually any environment.

You can also now find many different types of portable television including the traditional CRT sets and portable televisions with LCD screens.

When you are looking for portable televisions you will find many examples of very small ones – some with screen size as small as 2” or 3”. These are really handheld sets, so if you are looking for a handheld set, go to our Handheld Televisions section.
