Need to buy new TV (1 Viewer)

[PORKSTER]

Right I'm not really into TV or understand the technologie.
I need to replace vans TV it has to be 19“ may get away with 20. Nerds to have 100mm mounting.
Obvs 12v DVD not required. But casting be nice option. Can't find any smart tvs 19"
I see 2 Cellos on Amazon and another make.
But don't think the Cellos where the traveller. Some of the Cellos appear to have casting option some don't.

I have to be honest my brains pickled.

Please help find me a find TV

Thanks in advance Paul

I wouldn't bother with a "smart" TV. The expensive, slow and ill implemented "smart" features get abandoned by the manufacturer once they sell all the stock of that year's model. 18 months later you can almost guarantee all your favourite suppliers will stop working (Netflix, BBC, etc.)

Instead buy any dumb 19" TV you fancy and stick a Firestick or similar device on it. The Firestick will be supported for years and can just be replaced with another one in the unlikely event it stops working.

Finlux aren’t bad. 12v dvd combi HD and as said above, use a fire stick

Totally agree, The manufacturers update and decide what they want to include. Firestick is a much better option.
I like Avtex, made in Wales not China

Medion from Aldi are good for the money. I agree on don't bother with Smart. Firestick far better.

Ta ill go that route on with firestick.
Still struggling with actual TV

Have a look at Manta TVs too - made in Poland - 12v & 240v - no ‘smart’ features, just good Freeview Full HD.

Looked at that on amazon but it only has 2 screw holes for the bracket.

My bracket swing from vertical to horizontal to fit in cupboard. So bit risky I think

Do you mean the holes for the VESA bracket…….the one that attaches to the ‘arm’…..?

edit:- the specs. say that it has 100x100 VESA , i.e. 4 x holes……….

We have that one as well. Good picture, sound could be better, but with Bluetooth you can use a smart speaker.

Yes that's the one if you read reviews people have sent it back as it only has 2 holes

 

[PORKSTER]

Think I'll give this a go.
What ya reckon?

 

[Catpirate]

I find the Cellos have a very poor viewing angle, avtex is much better but the price is quite high. I have both and use firestick on them.

Nothing wrong with the viewing angle on the Cello Traveller had a 19" in the last van & have a 22" in current van.

Afternoon, we collect our Niesmann and Bischoff Arto on Saturday and the tv that is on the frame in the pull out cupboard is not compatible with the new tv the dealership have given us...is it possible to put a new tv into the original structure or will we need a new mechanism...

I have the Cello C20230FT2S2 Traveller 12 Volt 20 LED TV with DVD and Satellite and find I have to view it straight on to see a clear picture. Your model(s) must be better on viewing angles.

 

[robbyhurtss]

Hi. Recently I bought myself a Sniper Travel TV . I definitely advise you to buy. Picture is good, after you have adjusted the setting for colour and brightness. Being able to watch tv using normal aerial or Satellite dish means no extra boxes or wires everywhere.

Ok if your looking for a relatively straight forward TV have a peek at the Avtex range. Also consider one of the non-smart TV

I have a good technical IT background and hate these new smart tv’s powered by Google or Amazon or Sky. My home TV is a smart tv but have not connected it to the internet.

Good luck with whatever you choose just to add I did calm the Avtex help line pre purchase and found their customer service to be good.

Sniper for us too...19" job...great pic, sound ok but you are in a van...we use it with a Snipe satellite dish and also have a Firestick too when there is nothing on the 300 channels...lol... Or Mrs S want's a film or catch up

 

[Headrush]

We've got a 22 inch Samsung. Not smart but nice picture and sound. The best part is the setting for improved view from lower or higher angles. Brilliant when you're in bed, brightens the display so you can see properly. We've had it 7 years in two different vans mounted on a swivel arm. Never any problems.
