12 volt tv

+1 for Kogan
We've been using the TV/DVD player for years with no issue.

Only annoyance is removing the base to pack it away each time but that applies to any manufacturer.

+2 for kogan. 24 inch LED TV with or without built-in DVD player, excellent picture with low power consumption. I chose without as this model has 3 HDMI inputs which can be used for Sat TV, movie library and of course DVD player. Both models have recording function via USB.

I bought a Kogan a couple of years ago, only problem was the sound was terrible!

I agree the sound from cheap sets is terrible ,I brought a LG and run it through a inverter.

Most the small LCD TV's have piddly little speakers that face the rear of the TV so the only way to get decent sound is to use external speakers like these from Jaycar

many of the flat screen televisions have small speakers facing down or to the rear ........ the design asumption is that they will be mounted close to a wall or on a flat surface close to a wall.

they do sound better mounted this way.

Another trick is if mounting on a bracket ....... make up an aluminium plate that simulates a wall surface to abot4 to 6 inches below the TV and bolt that on to the visa mount between the TV and the bracket

of course the other solution is to use external speakers or a a sound bar.

I thought the same until I started looking into replacing the van TV recently. A lot of the latest smaller LCD TV's are now only 240VAC but the power rating is very small (60-75W) so will run from a small inverter that plugs into a ciggy socket.

But agree with you that the so called 12VDC universal laptop power supplies will do the job.

a few years ago many of the smaller TVs from a variety of suppliers where 12 volt native with an external power supply.

It was a case that the one TV could be manufactured for world wide demand and only the power supply need to be made for the particular country.

same with many of the early LCD computer monitors.

but now it is far more usual for these TVs to have built in universal power supplies that will run of anywhere between 110 and 250 volts

You may have bought one in the past but the largest currently listed is 20"

See Talawan's Post below - the problem with Kogan's website is if you search for 12v TV the model does not come up - looks as if you need to look at the specs of every TV on their site to see if the tv is 12v compatible.

I have been looking at the Kogan site in recent days for a smallish TV .... and yes there is a 12 volt 20ish inch TV.

one of the problems with the kogan site is ..the search engine is not particularly consistent ....... you don't need to look at every TV.... but you do need to look at the specs of about 10 smaller TVs

The other thing about Kogan is that the site reflects what they have in stock or comming into stock ....... if they don't currently have stock of something or have stock on the way, the item may be absent from the site ...... but may reapear later.
