good tv but side field of view can be bad ok if your sat smack in front of it

For the price they are pretty good, we have one, the viewing angle hasn't been a problem although the sound quality could do with being improved.

We use ours in preference to our Avtex, that now lives on top of a wardrobe. The downside of our Cello is the remote always feels like it came out of a Christmas cracker.

Hi Joe
Just bought and fitted one in the MH. Not satellite and I wanted to plug our satellite receiver into it but it has no scart socket on the TV. I used an RCA lead instead.
Otherwise appears OK. Bought from http://www.box.co.uk who were not helpful with the above problem. Too soon to comment on viewing angles or speakers.
Regards
p-c

We’ve had a Cello tv for 4 years now and really pleased with it.

Had a 19" Cello in the last van and now have 22" in this van, run the sound through my head unit. Vertical viewing angle a bit shallow as my TV is above eye level just needed to space the top mounting off by 4mm.

Sat receiver is a bit of a pain it takes over 20 min to tune in and you need to retune each time you change satellites and it then looses the favourites.
I use an Icecrypt tuner with mine.

Overall good TV for the money.

We have the Cello C22227T2-S1 rechargeable tv, very thin sound and the picture is not as good as a Avtex, but it does run for about 10 hrs off is own rechargeable internal battery, and it can also be used as a power bank for charging phones, when off grid we charge it during the day to get the benefit of the solar came complete with a quite good flat panel aerial and two led lamps with extension cables which we have not used yet.

We had a cello sound went completely, we are able to listen through an external speaker, now lives in John's bedroom at home and we have an Avtex in the van.

We have two cello’s in the motorhome, find them both very good.

We have a Cello C16115F-LED ver 4 and have always used it on mains. Does anyone have experience of using it on 12v? It isnt supplied with a 12v lead but it seems they are easily obtainable. What worries me is that there is no mention of using it on 12v in the user guide and yet the power source is 12v-3A.

The 19" we had in the last van came with a 12v lead, the 22" one we now have came with a 12v stabiliser.

We had a 22” Cello with built in satellite tuner, worked fine but the viewing angle wasn’t good if we were sitting in opposite corners of the lounge, the Avtex is much better.

I have had one for 4 years, as others have said the sound quality is poor so i run it through a bluetooth speaker apart from that I have had no problems and find it more than adequate for my needs.

Used my Cello for eight years without a problem, sound not fantastic but good enough for a MH

SCART is rapidly becoming obsolete if not already so. Pretty well everything uses HDMI.

Scart also has a nasty habit of coming unplugged, so much that I use a bit of hot glue to keep it in place. Apart from HDMI, RCA is sooooooooooooo much better it stays put.

Probably the worst thing about SCART is the horrible thick cable. As you say it pulls on the plugs - and it's near impossible to lose the excess length neatly.
