14" crt tv versus 15" tft tv. (1 Viewer)

[mark e]

What uses more power ? Or last the longest ?

A/ 14" crt tv ( old style )

or;

B/ 15" tft monitor ( slim style )

I will also be using a normal small type freeview box, with a normal motorhome type directional aerial.

I will be using it through a 600watt inverter from a single 85ah battery.
( Until i buy the second battery and a 1kw genny for backup purposes only of course )

a sticker on the back of each may tell you Mark.

You can get 12 volt freeview boxes (I was never very lucky with Freeview away though)

Are not most TFT screen 12 volt anyway so should use less power, am I wrong?

CRT tv around 80w

LCD tv around 35w +much better quality picture AND it should last longer.
for a few quid more i'd go for a lcd tv with freeview built-in. less hastle and less wires.
