Whether you’re planning for a camping trip, or prepping for some outdoor Memorial Day fun, a portable TV should be on your shopping list. Smartphones and notebooks make it easy to wirelessly stream from just about any location with internet service, but that doesn’t mean portable TVs are totally out of style. In fact they’re multi-functional, they cost less than other tech gadgets and are typically more durable, which is perfect if you’re on a camping trip and don’t want to use a phone or an iPad to watch TV (but if you are looking for discounted iPad, click here). And they’re not just for camping. Portable TVs are great for your kitchen, bathroom, or office; as well as picnics and other outings. Another benefit to portable TVs? They’ll come in handy whenever tailgating officially returns to sports.
Because most handheld TVs are battery-operated, they’re especially great when the electricity goes out. Below, find our list of seven of the best portable and handheld TVs that you can buy online.
