Good 12v dc TV
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good 12v DC TV. I bought a new MH and it has 2 Jensen 12v in it and they are about the sorriest excuse for a HDTV that I have every seen. If you are not sitting...

Thanks for all of the ideas.
I know in the past I had a Sharp TV and the output of the brick was 12VDC but I was never brave enough to cut the cord and wire it to the 12V directly. Also at that time everybody was saying not to do it.
I guess it is off to Best Buy to buy 2 new TVs. Just what I wanted to do after buying a new MH that listed for over $120,000, is go out and buy new TVs for it. The front one was standard but the rear one was over $400 option. How do they charge so much for a 22” HDTV. Why don’t they just leave them out and let us buy our own. Put the wiring in for them and let us install ones to our liking. It seems that they all have a love affair with Jensen garbage (in my opinion). Just like the stereo units they put in them, again they are Jensen’s, supposedly they are built to stand the up to driving down the road. I don’t believe this as I have used Sharp TVs for years and they worked just fine and I took them out and used them in the house. In fact my wife is still using a Sharp in her sewing room and this TV was bought over 13 years ago and traveled many mile in the back of a 5th wheel and never had one trouble and it has a great viewing width. Why do the manufactures put such garbage in the units? I guess I’ll answer that myself, because we buy it with this garbage.
I have to take the MH into a dealer to get the power skylight fixed. It sounds like the gears are stripped. It worked on the walk through on Wednesday morning and didn’t on Thursday evening. Gives me great confidence that it is going to work for years. I think once it is fixed I’ll just leave it closed and never use it. When I’m in the dealer with this problem I’m going to complain about the TVs. I know it won’t do any good but it will let me vent a little.
Ok enough of the complaining, thanks for the ideas.
