Picture is excellent. Tuning in takes 10 to 20 seconds as the channel tuning bar glides slooowwwly across the screen. No presets.
I was dissapointed that no mains unit was supplied. It is not clear from the description on Amazon. Nor is is listed as an optional extra. However it is essential. 4 AA batteries last about 3 hours.

Great picture (the biggest screen size of the casio pocket TV's available), sound is okay (much better if you are using it near your PC - you can plug it in to the PC speakers!).... slow to tune but pretty much gets the channels automatically every time...
Some criticisms:
That the stand is pretty annoying; it doesn't allow you to select the viewing angle very well, maybe there is an accessory for this? but I haven't found it yet.

The unit doesn't come with a mains power supply - had to buy it separately - and it is an essential.
Overall; highly recommended.

A pocket TV. It's all a bit pathetic, isn't it? Have you ever had to go to a wedding on FA Cup final day?
No, but... Look, it was switched off all the way through the service.
At least you were able to keep some sort of perspective. Before the ink had dried on the register, the three-inch set, previously sat snugly in my jacket pocket, was whipped out. Just in time to see Robert Pires scuff home a tedious goal for Arsenal.
So you could make out what was going on? I thought these miniature televisions were supposed to be mince. You can't get a perfect reception on it all of the time: travelling back to the (other) reception in the car, I nearly had the driver's eye out with the aerial twice as I tried to pick up a signal. But to be fair, we were careering wildly through tree-lined Yorkshire villages at the time. More often than not, we'd get a crisp picture.
Exactly how crisp? "Anti-glare Thin-Film Transistor Active Matrix" crisp. "89,856 pixels" crisp. "Bloody hell, that's preposterous, how does such a wee thing give such a good picture" crisp. In other words, the LCD screen is very impressive. (Although one word of warning: don't get caught in the rain. The least drop of water on the screen will smear the surface and render the thing nearly as unwatchable as the second half was.)
I suppose it eats up batteries. You'd have thought so, but it seems reasonably restrained. I left the set on in my pocket during most of Saturday afternoon, and the four AA penlight batteries didn't once look like running out. Which did have the negative effect of having to witness Thierry Henry shielding the ball by the corner flag for five minutes, but you can't have everything.
Rating: A life-saving 8/10.
