hymer1942 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Need a new tv, good quality and good fitting, any advice welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenewellhome Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 What size TV and what features do you require? Also what is your budget? You can get a cheapy from the likes of Comet or Asda but if you want one to run directly off your 12 volt circuits along with features like widescreen, Freeview, HD ready, built in DVD player etc then you're going to need a specialist supplier and be prepared to pay a fair bit more. We have the DQTV from Roadpro, 17" widescreen format, built in DVD, built in Freeview, HD ready, voltage stabiliser built in so no need for the Amperor unit but it costs £400 8-) ! D.

hymer1942 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Thanks for that Dave, will go down that route. Regards barrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenewellhome Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Which route though? Comet/Asda cheapy or the DQTV from Roadpro? D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hymer1942 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Sorry about that, not the cheap route. But similar to you, now the question is who we live at Fleetwood. So am looking for a competative price and a reasonable distance to travel. Barrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapido-lass Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 If you are going to the NEC show this month, there will be various stands with 12v tv's with all kinds of features - usually the satellite stands offer good deals on tv's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek500 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 We've got a 19" Samsung widescreen, HD Ready, LCD. It cost £189 in Comet in April. We run it along with our Sky box on a Maplins 600w inverter. Never any problems. £400 seems a lot for a smaller screen, DVD and 12v. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hymer1942 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 IT DOES NOT SEEM SO MUCH WHEN YOU HAVE JUST BLOWN ONE UP BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A BONAFIDE 12 VOLT. NOT SHOUTING JUST IN CAPITALS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coach2000 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 NOT SHOUTING, but I agree that £400 is a lot to spend. Derek did say he uses an Invertor and this does givee you other options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hymer1942 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Will probably go down to see Dave Newell and get one fitted properly, and he might be able to fix my reversing camera as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4petedaniel Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Bought a 15" TV 12VOLT 240 VOLT with DVD Freeview from Tesco £129 works a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenewellhome Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 4petedaniel - 2009-10-03 6:59 PM Bought a 15" TV 12VOLT 240 VOLT with DVD Freeview from Tesco £129 works a treat. But will it survive having 14 volts up it if you're hooked up or just finished a run and the battery is fully charged? D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairsy Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 If it helps, I recently went for a cheap option which I thought was a bit of a gamble but turned out to be great for my needs. £189 for a 13.3" widescreen TV with DVD, freeview, analogue TV, USB playback of video and photo, MP3 player and, best of all IMHO, built in TV recording using a memory stick or USB hard drive. I also bought a ceiling mount from ebay for £10 or so. The picture quality is perfectly acceptable for me - although it's not a top quality HD picture at that price. If anyone is interested see http://www.wedodigital.co.uk/product/2062/meos-13.3-hd-ready-freeview-tv--dvd-player--pvr/meos-dvdm133b/ I have been very happy with the purchase.
