![]() As long as you have a newer model LCD TV – not the “boxy” CRT model that isn’t designed to handle the vibrations from moving around – it should work perfectly fine. What’s The Difference Between A Regular 12-Volt TV And An RV 12-Volt TV? ✅One-year warranty with good customer serviceĬommon 12V TV Questions: Why Use a 12-Volt TV?ġ2-volt, battery-powered TVs are more convenient to use in RVs and motorhomes, and as an alternative, many 12-volt TVs come equipped with an AC adaptor. Small caveat: this TV is not 1080p, unfortunately, but unless you’re a true resolution snob, we think the picture and contrast still looks very, very good. Like the Jensen (#1), this is specifically designed for RVs and 12V applications, so it includes both a cigarette lighter plug as well as a direct 12V DC wiring cord, which is extra convenient for those hard-wiring. This means, however, that it is very slim and perfect for wall-mounting, which is reportedly very easy to do by yourself. It has all the bells and whistles (ISB, HDMI, built-in Digital Tuner, etc.), although it does not have a DVD slot. So that’s peace of mind in it’s own right, but it’s also a much larger model (32″), so if these other TVs have seemed tiny for your potentially larger space, this might be the solution for you. Off the bat, unlike the SuperSonic above, Transit is revered for its awesome customer service. This 12V TV from Transit might be the most expensive on the list (coming in around $280), but for good reason. Transit 32” 12 Volt DC Powered LED Flat Panel HD TV Out of all the TVs on the list, this probably has the poorest side viewing angle, however in a narrow space like an RV or boat, this isn’t really a concern for most.Īvailable in screen sizes 13.3”, 15”, 19”, 22”, 24”Ĥ. Just know that like any budget electronic device, there’s also chance of a defective unit. Because SuperSonic was acquired, it has been difficult for some to reach someone about warranty replacement. The one concern here is the warranty/customer service. Make no mistake, the others above are also capable of this, but may require a separate adapter cord. It comes in a variety of available sizes from 13 inches up to 24″, and the price and features are comparable to the other two TVs above.įor those who like to play console or computer games on the road, this can easily serve as a second monitor with built-in ports. Also has the built-in DVD player (and also slightly slimmer!). ![]() The final model that we recommend is the SuperSonic HD TV. ❌Consumer complaints about DVD player freezing ✅Good value for screen sizes (and lots of choices) And because it’s a DVD combo, it’s pretty thick/deep, so if you’re wall-mounting this RV TV, prepare for it to jut out a bit from the wall. If there’s any drawback is that while it runs off of 12V, it is not specifically designed for RVs/boats. It’s sound is maybe just a little bit below the Jensen above, but too close to call for us. Picture quality is excellent- very dark blacks and a highly versatile contrast. That being said, it ALSO has a USB input for using something like a Chromecast or Firestick for modern streaming. I realize it’s 2018, but in RVs and campers, DVDs are still very prevalent, because you don’t need wifi, and they take very little space (pick them up cheap at Walmart for a couple bucks!). A big differentiator: the built-in DVD player. ![]() We’ve seen a few of these AXESS TVs at camper meetups, all with generally positive reviews. ✅Made specifically for RV, motorhomes, and boats Other TVs can sound “tinny”, but voices in movies are clear and crisp, and deep bass still comes through. Lastly, the picture quality is actually awesome, and it has a pretty full sound. We ended up putting velcro on the back of it and having a spot on the wall to stick it while driving. Has a well-designed remote control, too (pet peeve of mine). It has a lot of mounting points, which was refreshing to see, but if you need a table top stand, you can purchase that separately. It also uses a pretty low amount of energy (~1.9 ampa), so if you have a fancy Lithium ion battery, you can run this for days on end. It’s designed specifically for RVs and boats, and is apparently one of the most durable on the market. This Jensen TV comes in as the clear top of this list for us, and is why we have one in our converted camper, mounted right to the side of our cupboard.
