new tv
We need to upgrade our rear bedroom tv. It appears that a 24-28 inch size will fit into the area. Are there any brands that standout for rv use? This a normal 120v tv. :)

one that fits, and is cheap. Walmart or Sams Club.
Good advice..... My story.
I have two 21" in the bedroom they monitor different things (One is hooked to the ANTENNA, the other to CABLE, one is also a computer monitor and from time to time I need a TV and Monitor net to each other)
ONE is a SAMSUNG.. Runs not on 12 but rather 14 volts (per the labels on it and the power brick)... IT also has other features I like, but we won't list those. Got a good deal cause it was a floor model at Wal*Mart and they lost the remote.. turns out I had a spare remote that works 100% with that model.
Now: Why I mention it.. As I said, 14 volt.. now I run it off an inverter (Cause I do not have the proper 12 volt cord) but.
14 +/- 10 percent is 12.6 to 15.6
14 +/- 20 percent is 11.2 to 18 volt
Most RV's with fresh batteries Fully charged provide 12.6 when on battery and around less than 15.6 in boost/absorption modes.
And the 20% figure is dead battery to way more than the converter outputs....
Thus I like my samsung, 2nd one I have owned. (First died of old age but it was also not an ATSC TV (modern digital wide screen) it was, howevr a computer monitor.
