Hi Folks,
Fitting Tv to the new van. Trying to get rid of the wieght and bulk of a preloved 34cm CRT tv.
Was going the rounds to go to a cheap lap top ($750 - best I could find but with only 256meg of RAM) with a TV card ($150) when I saw a Sony DVD player with an 8 inch LCD screen for $350 which on aking had an extra input for a desk top digital box. ($69).
I know that the screen is smaller than a computer but the compactness and weight is appealing to us. Anybody using a similar setup ? comments please

Personally , I think thats a tad small to be trying to watch TV on.
You can buy a 14-15 inch LCD Screen for around $300 , a DVD player for around $50 , and a STB , for around $50.
Cheap enough setup , and a reasonable size to watch in a van.

Hi Flappa,
The cheapest LCD Tv 15 inch I have found is $350. The salesman at Harvey norman also pulled a face when I asked about problems they have had with it.
Have you any insight into the where ffrom for the $300 version.

There is one in our Local DSE(
Canberra) at the moment for $299.00. Its not a widescreen variety. (might be a stock clearance item ??).
I have also seen them around various
places (mostly discount
places, so quality ??) for around that $300-$350.
