How about being able to bring your HDTV with you wherever you go? This little telly actually receives an HD signal and has an aspect ratio of 16:9. But, can you really tell with a small 4.25 inch screen? Probably not because you can barely tell the difference between 1080p and 720p on a 37 inch screen. But whatever, since TV signals are going digital, your portables might as well too. $200.
