small tv

[colleysails]

I'd like to have a small tv on my R25 - primarily to pick up local news and weather. Do any of you have a model you'd recommend? What about antenna? If not portable, what kind of mount do you use?

CaptD, I noticed you have the Naxa 13.5. I had looked at it a couple of times at truck stops. Have you been satisfied with it?

Thanks all. Appreciate any input. . .

Just came back from a trip bought a Coby 7" for $38 has built in battery ,external antenna 110v and 12v power cords included picture was good I also hooked it up to a DVD player with a small inverter and was very happy.

I know they make bigger 12v tvs but I have the big screen small space covered.

Being a techno junkie I also brought a Pico projector the size of a pack of playing cards and a screen made out of a window shade and watched a movie at 40" screen size with the audio piped in to the boats high quality sound system with a 10" 250 watt JBL subwoofer installed under the sink cabinet .

It needs to be fairly dark and not too windy as to ripple the screen.

I did a small digital tv that shares duty between the boat and the camper. Not high end at all but will pick up the digital signals within reason. The antenna is a set of rabbit ears from some portable set of the past mounted on a wood stick and line comes in the window. Very basic but does usually get a channel or two. The TV set was from Wallgrens a couple of years back and was 99 dollars. I set it up use it and back into the storage locker. Runs of of the 12 main power plug that I would normally use for the computer. Bob Heselberg in Eatonville Wa

Yup, I got two of them.
they are DVD and cd players as well . 12 volts. Kind of spendy but well worth it. Not good for viewing from the side but in the boat it is no problem.That is why the power draw is very low.
