One thing to remember when purchasing a TV for the RV is to look at the viewing angle, if you can go to the store and sit lower then off to each side to see what it looks like at those angles.
Most times in a RV you wont be looking straight on at it. I found out the hard way after buying and returning 2 TVs, that sometimes at those angles the screen is washed out or black making them un-viewable.
After buying a Samsung and a RCA I found a Insignia that has a much larger viewing angle. I Run it off a Small inverter or AC if I have hookups.
In my RV with the TV in the front or the rear bedroom you have to look up at it. This TV works great in both areas.
Thanks.
Once again, I didn't clarify enough. Sorry. I was trying to keep my post short, but oh well.
I won't be mounting this. I will be moving it from dinette, to TV stand by the couch, to TV stand in the bedroom, to possibly just outside. So no mounting. I'm gonna make a plastic/foam rubber case for it for travel.
I'm kinda thinking of just going the inverter route.
One more requirement I want is a 3.5 headphone jack. For using my trailer speakers or an actual headset if only one person wants to hear it.
Sounds like a lot to ask, but the one I linked to had it all. I just don't know if it's a good brand, or if there are others out there that I don't know about. I know it seems like I'm making this harder than it has to be, but I want to get one with all the small features I want. I'm willing to forgo the 12v option, if I get an inverter. I can see the usefulness of them for other things. I'll be having one installed in the trailer soon, but thought the rare times I'd want/need 12v, it'd be worth having.
Thanks to all those who took their time to respond.
