Lilliput 818GL-80TV - LCD TV - 8" - widescreen

There is a surprising lack of small flat-screen TV's suitable for mounting under kitchen cupboards. This TV is one of the few available.

I got the 9" instead of the 8" model, but I'm told they are substantially similar other than the size. The screen has no dead pixels and gives good image quality once you adjust the video controls (especially by turning down the color intensity).

The sound quality of the (approximately) 2" speaker is very tinny. But this was easy to fix by buying a cheap pair of self-powered computer speakers and plugging them into the earphone jack.

As the instructions advise, the TV tuner is not USA-standard. You get all the cable TV channels, but the numbers are different from what you're used to. This is a minor nuisance, solvable by making a chart of the channels you're interested in.

To sum up, this is a nice little TV. There are some minor problems, but they all have acceptable workarounds. Given the lack of alternative products, I'm really glad that this TV was available.

The company that produced this TV is called "Lilliput." It seems likely to me that this TV is an early attempt at a small home TV for the US market, and that Lilliput's future offerings will improve in US compatibility.

Does this take batteries? Does anyone know?
