Ouch! that's a lot of money. I have a 5" B&W that I got from Fred Meyers for
$24. Since I'm living in my Westy I needed something to watch the news with.
It operates off of recharable batteries, 12Vdc, and 110Vac.

When I go camping I'm lost in the backcountry away from anyone or anything
with only what I can carry on my back. The Westy does get a little heavy
though <grin>
