We've consigned ours to the kitchen at home where it rarely gets turned on, even then I've had to route the sound through some external speakers as the built in things defy the Trade Descriptions Act.

Yep agree the sound is rubbish and the remote is what you would expect out of a Christmas cracker

Bought one late last year, poorest viewing angle I have ever seen on a modern tv, we have to have the brightness up to 92% just to be able to see something.

Will probably bin it when we can find a better one. Wouldn't even recommend it to an enemy, let alone a friend.

Is it a standard one or the Traveller? Seem to get move negative reviews on the standard ones, have been very pleased with our traveller one of the best small TV's we have had.
Don't buy a Marks & Sparkes TV then they are Cello's.

We have both a Cello and an Avtex. The Cello is fine but the Avtex is much better. Both beat the spots of other cheap TVs

We have a Cello, and very happy with it, good picture quality and very good range on vision angle. Sound quality isn't the greatest, but this is a small TV in a motorhome. It is wired into the stereo system if we want cinema quality, but we rarely do.

Had my Cello 22" for at least 5 years, works well. Yes, sound not the best I have ever heard, just plug it into van system or quality portable speakers if required. As far as I'm concerned, the TV works fine, it's the crap programs that spoil it!! Still, you can always put in a Fools and Horses DVD to cheer yourself up! :happy:

I have just bought ( haven't collected it yet) a 22 inch Cello. Can you connect Bluetooth speaker to it?

Depends if it has a Bluetooth facility, if not then provided it has an earphone socket you can use a Bluetooth transmitter.

As far as I know cello TV,s do not possess a blue tooth interface..however you can buy a blue tooth transmitter and connect it to the 3.5mm phone jack... dont buy a cheap bt transmitter as you may end up with a 'delay'

I looked at both Cello and Avtex prior to buying, the Cello looked a bit cheap and nasty, bit the bullet and got the all singing all dancing Avtex and haven't been disappointed...absolutely cracking picture and decent sound.

Noticed the Vision Plus TVs recently that look decent though

I bought a 22" Cello last year when we purchased our 1st MH, I thought and still think its ok, the only problem with the tv is the viewing angle, a young family such as us like to put on a dvd for the kids during evenings and if you are not sat directly central of the screen you massively missed out on actually seeing a picture.

I just went to install the same tv in our new MH but stopped when we could not get a suitable seating angle for four. I upgraded my purchase to an AVTEX 21.5" from ACDCTV who we bought the Cello from in the 1st place, its installed in the new MH and the viewing angle and picture is superb, and all round a nicer looking unit, hoping to get out soon and test it fully. As discussed with the supplier the lack of quality was massively reflected in the cost of the tv !!!!!

I would like to add a massive reccomendation to ACDCTV for their customer services .. nothing short of SUPERB (y)

Yep the Cello T2 series has built in bluetooth, works a treat with the Pioneer MH system.
