12v TV or Inverter

12v TV would probably use less amps and cost less to buy than an inverter but in saying that our TV is 240v and connected through an inverter
If you get a 12v you do not loose converting up and back down again. If you already have/getting a inverter for other things and have a TV might not be too much amps compared to buying a new TV.
We just received today a 28" Palsonic from DSE (Only $175 inc 12.5% off the other night) hooked up using a 12v cable I got cheap off Kogan works fine in the back of the car.. no caravan yet. Had a 22inch I could of taken from the kids room.. Although thought easier leaving one in the caravan and getting a 12v TV. I already have to pack enough stuff from inside.

Yep. I know they are a small tv but the sound is crap and not the best pic quality. But in saying that it will only ever be used if at a van park as normally free camp and are out there for the scenery not the tv

12v TV is the way to go, we oringinal had a Polariod brand from BigW with our first camper, then digital came in and I got jack of seting up the set top box all the time which was only 240v.
Went into Good Guys one day for something else and came home with a 15" 12v/240 GVA Digital for under a $100, it was meant to replace an old thing we had in the kitchen now lives in the van.

We have a 24" Kogan. Sound and picture quality has been good for us. Mind you....we don't watch a lot of tv and it is only for dvds. We have a 16.49.1...does anyone keep theirs mounted when travelling?
