This Portable TV Turns My Patio Into a Full-Blown Entertainment Hub, and It's on Sale for Prime Day
Amazon Prime Day deal: The Skyworth 24-inch P100 Companion Series portable TV is seeing a 25% discount for Prime Day. That drops the price down to $299.99, or $100 off its usual retail price, making it an impressive deal on a battery-powered TV that's designed to be taken outdoors. Back in the day -- we're talking 40 years ago -- portable TVs were a big thing. That's when people would tune into over-the-air signals with a Sony Watchman and watch whatever local TV stations were broadcasting. But with smartphones, tablets and laptops now able to stream content wirelessly, including live TV from apps like YouTube TV and many other services, a portable TV seems like something of a novelty. And to a certain degree, that's just what Skyworth's battery-powered 24-inch P100 Companion Series portable TV is. At a typical list price of $400, it isn't exactly cheap, but it's also the largest portable TV I've ever used, and it's turned my patio into an entertainment oasis.

David Carnoy/CNET There are a few key things to highlight about the 1,080-pixel Skyworth portable TV. First, it's Wi-Fi-enabled and is equipped with Google TV, so it's a streaming device. It's also got Chromecast built-in so you can cast to it from an Android phone (I was able to cast the Spectrum TV app to it from my iPhone 16 Pro but had to fiddle around with the settings in my Google Home app to get it to work). And finally, it has an integrated battery that delivers up to 3 hours of battery life in energy-saving mode (the battery life seemed closer to 2 hours in my tests). You can also plug the TV in -- that's what you have to do to charge it -- just like a normal TV. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. David Carnoy/CNET Best Prime Day TV Deals Prime Day is well known as one of the best times of the year to save big on a new TV. We've checked through every deal available, and rounded up the best discounts for you to take advantage of.

However, when you start streaming, the picture does appear to be 1080p. You just aren't going to get inky blacks. But it is a matte screen that cuts down on the glare and has a relatively wide viewing angle. The TV is designed to be taken outdoors, though it has no water resistance rating, so you wouldn't want to leave it out in the rain. (Sylvox makes a 15.6-inch portable TV that's apparently waterproof, but it's considerably smaller than this TV). There's a mini soundbar in the base -- Skyworth says the TV is equipped with Dolby Audio -- that can play pretty loud, but the dynamic range is a little narrow. That's a polite way of saying there isn't a whole lot of bass. But again, for casual viewing, it does the job and you could connect a better speaker to it if you wanted to you. You could also connect a streaming device like a Roku 4K Streaming Stick to it. On the side of the TV, you'll find a single HDMI port, a USB port out for power, plus an optical output, 3.5mm auxiliary output and Ethernet port. The TV's connectivity options. David Carnoy/CNET Screwed into the back of TV is a handle made out of faux leather for carrying the TV, which is fairly lightweight at 11 pounds. Skyworth also sells a carrying case for it, which is also currently on sale for $50. Is this a better option than a portable monitor? In some ways, yes. First off, this is bigger than most portable monitors, and to reiterate, the key feature here is the integrated battery (alas, it doesn't appear to be replaceable), so you can view the TV wherever you want (for 2 to 3 hours anyway). I used it on my home Wi-Fi but also connected the TV to my phone's hot spot when I was outside, and it worked fine streaming content. True, it's significantly more expensive than many portable monitors, but the use case for a portable monitor tends to be different.

Kate Middleton Just Stepped Out for a Surprise Visit After Missing Royal Ascot
Kate Middleton is back out and about and, this time, she surprised everyone with a visit that's as heartfelt as it is inspiring. After a busy June filled with royal engagements alongside Prince William, the Princess of Wales was notably absent from this year's Royal Ascot. Fans and royal watchers were left guessing when she'd next appear—many expected her at Wimbledon or during the upcoming French state visit from July 8 to 10. But instead, Princess Catherine made a quieter, yet deeply meaningful, public appearance on July 2 in Essex. The royal visited Colchester Hospital to spend time in a specially designed wellbeing garden. This garden offers a peaceful retreat for patients, NHS staff and visitors—a space to relax, recharge and reconnect with nature. During her visit, Kate helped plant several 'Catherine's Rose' plants, a beautiful new bloom named in her honor by the Royal Horticultural Society. Stefan Rousseau -Kensington Palace shared some lovely photos from the visit on Instagram Stories, describing the garden as 'a garden made for healing' that provides space for rest and reflection. Another post highlighted that proceeds from the sale of the pink roses will benefit the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity—the same charity where Kate received treatment during her cancer journey. Fifty of these roses were delivered to Colchester Hospital this week, with plans for 500 more to be distributed to wellbeing and community gardens across the UK this summer. The Prince and Princess of Wales/Instagram Kate first announced 'Catherine's Rose' seven weeks ago, writing about how time spent in nature has always been a source of comfort and strength for her. She emphasized how gardens and green spaces support mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing. STEFAN ROUSSEAU/POOL/AFP via Getty Images Kate revealed her cancer diagnosis and treatment in March 2024, stepping back from public life to focus on her health. She completed chemotherapy in September 2024 and announced in January 2025 that she was in remission. Want all the latest entertainment news sent right to your inbox? Click here.
