In a world where our screens seem to be getting bigger and our attention spans smaller, the Supersonic SC-2814 14-Inch LED TV offers a refreshingly different take on portable entertainment. But is smaller really better? With its compact size and versatile features, this TV is marketed as the perfect companion for those on the go—whether you're cooking in the kitchen, hitting the road in an RV, or lounging outdoors. It promises crystal-clear visuals, built-in streaming capabilities, and a powerful lithium battery, but does it truly deliver on those promises, or is it just another gadget in a crowded market?
Today, we’ll dive into the reality of this portable TV, exploring whether it can hold up against our ever-growing expectations for quality and convenience. Is it worth the investment, or will it leave you longing for something more? Let’s find out.
One of the standout features for me has been the TV's ability to pick up a wide range of channels—much better than my previous model. The vibrant picture quality and reasonable sound make it great for my needs. I also love that it’s lightweight and easy to move around if necessary. The battery life has been decent too, lasting a little over an hour when I was testing it on battery power.
Cons:
On the downside, the poor instructions and the initial issues with the antenna adapter were frustrating. I feel like the manufacturer could have provided a better guide for setup. Additionally, the TV’s internal battery isn’t something I rely on for extensive viewing, as it doesn’t last that long.
Overall Evaluation:
Overall, I’m really pleased with my purchase. This little TV has proven to be a solid investment for my workbench, providing me with entertainment while I work. I’m hopeful that it will last longer than my RCA model, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a compact TV with good picture and sound quality. It’s been a great addition to my space, and I’m eager to see how it performs in the long run.

System Experience
I was on the lookout for a small TV to place at my workbench, aiming to replace an RCA model that had unfortunately given up on me after just three years. After some research, I decided to go with this model, which seemed to have good ratings. Setting it up was relatively straightforward, but I did face a minor hiccup with the included antenna adapter that didn’t seem to work well at first. I quickly swapped it for a better connection, and once I did that, the setup was a breeze. The instructions that came with the TV were a bit sparse, which might be confusing for someone not tech-savvy, but I managed just fine.Viewing Experience
The picture quality has been a pleasant surprise. The colors are vibrant, and the clarity is impressive for a 14-inch screen. I opted for the soft picture mode, which provided a more comfortable viewing experience for my eyes. Although the vertical viewing angle could be better, I found that viewing it straight on gave me a great experience, especially when I was working next to my computer monitor.Audio Experience
The sound quality exceeded my expectations, especially considering the size of the TV. I connected it to some amplified speakers, and the audio is quite impressive for a small unit. Even without the external speakers, the sound was decent, but I definitely appreciated the clarity and volume when I hooked it up to my existing sound system.Other Experience
I’ve had this TV for several months now, and it’s been a reliable companion at my workbench. I appreciate that it holds channels in memory after turning it off, and the scanning feature was easy to use. I’ve also been considering exploring the USB and cable input capabilities, but for now, I’m content with the over-the-air channels.Conclusion
Pros:One of the standout features for me has been the TV's ability to pick up a wide range of channels—much better than my previous model. The vibrant picture quality and reasonable sound make it great for my needs. I also love that it’s lightweight and easy to move around if necessary.
