experiences with portable LCD TVs for classic micros?

I have four Timex Sinclair micros sitting in my basement and I've been
thinking about turning one (or more) into the world's slowest
"franken-laptop" using one of those portable LCD TVs that seem to be
on sale at every second-hand store & pawn shop for $10-$20.
Has anyone had any experiences in the quality of the TV tuner in
these portables? Will I have to keep re-tuning it every 10 minutes
or should I look for one with some method of locking into a channel?
(or are they too fussy to bother with?)
How about screen resolution? Will I be able to make out the 32 characters
per line on such a tiny screen?
