It works a treat I am testing it at home but ready to take it to the boat, it will recharge of my bank when not in use and while in use I will use both the boat batterys and the tv standalone battery to best manage power. here is a link: http://celloelectronics.com/worlds-first-solar-powered-tv/ Need to add the aerial is crap Edited November 20, 2017 by marji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you don't take the solar to the woods as per this example, I was saying the tv will charge off the solar and then you have a tv with built in battery bank and can then go anywhere wireless with it.

It's not easy to spot unless you look underneath. I think they must have improved the sound a bit but don't expect high fidelity surround sound! Just bought one of these new Cellos but the sound isn't as good as the 6 year old Cello we let go on our previous boat - what do people do to improve it given space issues - I would want a USB powered solution off the TV so it doesn't use another dreaded socket Edited January 27, 2018 by Halsey more info given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackrose Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Has anyone used these TV's from amazon? I guess they're more or less the same as Cello? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B003VPJZ48/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1517079591&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=12v+tv&dpPl=1&dpID=51Q1BbcWlBL&ref=plSrch Although it has built in digital freeview, I want to know if I could plug in my freesat box?

Mike on the Wey Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 We are very pleased with our Avtex. The picture is excellent, and the sound reasonable. It draws around 1A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly couldn't say whether that is true or not though. Avtex are a little more expensive than their Cello counterparts but you get what you pay for. We have always had Avtex and I can't rate them highly enough. We recently took the plunge and upgraded to a new 199DRS and soundbar and we can't fault it. If it helps, we purchased from here https://www.capitaloutdoors.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
