Old Son Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 I have a Cello tv on board and the dvd is playing up. Mostly it doesn’t work. I’ve bought a separate DVD player and now the tv is not picking up the signal from the hdmi port. I also have loads of trouble getting a signal on digital tv or satellite. I think I need a new tv!! Can anybody recommend a 12volt 32” tv that has a scart input and a couple of hdmi’s. I don’t need anything else and I don’t want a Cello!! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john6767 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I don’t know what TV to recomend, but a modern TV may not have any scart connections, only hdmi. However you can get scart to hdmi leads so you don’t need to restrict yourself to one with scart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movin' on Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I’ve got a cello where the dvd is playing up but still under warranty so will return when we stop crusing in Oct IMHO Cello aren’t what they used to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer McM Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Have a look at Finlux - we're pleased with ours, had it almost 2 years now https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Finlux-22-12V-LED-Full-HD-TV-12-VOLT-24-V-DVD-Freeview-Caravan-Boat-HGV/132515436063?epid=12019359528&hash=item1eda89161f:g:6XMAAOSw3opbYxRn Edited August 12, 2018 by Jennifer McM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I can't tell you, but we do have a sound bar for when when we're watching a good film, or when there's music, other than that we don't bother as the sound bar is 240v 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look better than the cello we ended up with, though not the 32" op is looking for. Our cello has lasted three yrs so far, so ok i spose in today's throw away world.

Ex Brummie Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 I find the sound on all Flat T.V's poor, especially with a hearing impairment. Mine improved significantly when I plugged a rechargeable speaker ( from Amazon for about £10 ) into the headphone jack. Much cheaper than a soundbar, and takes little to charge from a USB socket.

Nightwatch Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 We have an elephant in the room. Having said that the elephant in this case is a small speaker system that is USB powered. Three speakers. We paid about £12 four years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Rusty - btw love the lady snoopy ? Here's the perfect way to keep an eye on it (in case you weren't aware of it!). I have used it on numerous occasions to avoid overpaying when a price is high and also picked up several short-lived bargains. https://uk.camelcamelcamel.com It works like this... 1. Copy the URL of an Amazon item into the Camels' search bar. 2. Check the price history graph to establish whether the current price looks high or low compared to the average. 3. If you want to buy at a lower price (hopefully) in the future enter a tracking amount and then sit back and hope an email comes before too long. 4. If it does, snap it up! The price may not last long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmelly Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) My 26 inch mains tv draws 2.7 amps including the inverter load and extra speakers run from the usb thingy. Why buy 12 volt kit anymore? I do appreciate Fred and Wilma may not have a decent inverter but most people do have. Vastly better choice of kit to buy innitt.
