12v TV lead

[Swerve]

Well bought a Conia 22" LCD TV this week. arrived at work today.

Noticed 12v input is purley the transformer output. WHat have most others done ?

1- Buy new lead on ebay , from 12v TV plug to cig lighter
2- Cut transformer lead and install 12v cig plug ?

curious ?

I got one the Kogan ones before I got the TV

The 240v to 12v with the transformer is to step down I would not cut the lead.

Thanks Dave and rest. I have no quams about cutting the lead, but more about if I want it for 240v use afterwards having to mod it again. Cabling and electronics is my trade

Found this one on ebay, your kogan one seems cheaper

I got it before I got a TV as it was on a super special.. was going to by a Kogan 24" although out of stock so ended up with a 28" Palsonic

Yeah yeah I know, happy with a 22" . we all saw photos of your 28" , looks way big in the van

 

[macca]

Jaycar are something like $3

too big.. was going for a 60" 3D and 7.2 system thought I cut it down a little
Could always setup like my old recording studio setup 15" sub and pair of three way monitors. I used to show metal bands the volume knob and make a coffee in the next room. Normally I could easily talk over the level when I mixed and recorded.. 10-12 hours days you cannot have it always loud.

[Swerve]

Yep that's the one..... Just note that it is only 50cm long (Fits ours with a couple of cm's to spare)

we brought a 19' Philips or Corina (cannot remember off hand) one ages ago - TV & DVD player all in one
its also 240v/12v - with the cables....... and I think you can plug in external speakers, and or another DVD player
was a bit of coin - $300 or so I think, but its lasted the last 5/6 years without problems

Just keep in mind not all TVs with a 12v input will work of a battery. We had the Aldi 18.5" led TV/DVD combo and it would not work with said Jaycar adaptor. Would just drop out suddenly due to low voltage.

ok then happy with Kogan its 1.5m. On the arm I just setup I have around 20cm spare only after being threaded through cable hiding thing in arm. Although I grab one for outside and a spare.

@achjimmy yes and I took a chance on the Palsonic as no where it says its 12v officially although thought I could return easily to Dickies.
