does anyone know where you can purchace lcd tv that works on both 240volt and 12 volt my old tv plugs into ciggarette lighter but looking to upgrade to min.15" with freeview

google Avtex W152D......there are cheaper versions though. Ebay is a good place to browse even if you don't buy one off there.

You could try:- http://www.ebuyer.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Many of their small screen LCD TVs run off 230v & then have a small inline transformer to step down to 12v. You could remove the plug/transformer & fit a 12 plug so you can use it in your van. If you have hook-up then why not keep the 230v set up?

I have just bought a Dabs value 19" widescreen LCD HD TV with built in freeview and DVD player at £129 inc VAT. The input to the TV is 12V which is supplied by mains lead with a transformer down to 12V. It has a superb picture and loads of different inputs and outputs. The only problem we have found is the sound which is a bit "boxy". I happened to have a pair of Hi-Fi computer speakers with built amp and jacking these into the earphone socket gives us brilliant sound as well. http://www.dabs.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Elsid, it's funny that you should mention Dabs because they are located on Wingates Industrial Estate about 1.5 miles from here.

the avtex tv look good even though pricy but must be good especially the idea of rechargeable battery pack has anyone got one of these

Look forward to seeing it Sid. Sounds like a good deal.

Just put a USB DVBT donggle in your laptop, stick the twig on window and away you go, all the freeview channels(if you can get a good signal that is) add a external pair of speekers or plug into your headunit and play out throu those big speekrs you got under the seat ?????

Add a mobile internet dongle and the worlds your lobster,.........

I've seen digital photo frames that play movies from memory cards for only £45. Where can you get this inliner transformer thingy? I've had a look but must be googling the wrong phrase. I would like to step these digital frames down to 12v

thanks

Lloyd,
We bought this TV for my wife to have in the kitchen, she is not coming with me this weekend and there is no way she will let me take her telly. I don't watch much telly so I won't miss it.

SWMBO ... I understand.

Just bought an Akura from a seller on ebay-fantastic customer service. First Tv arrives smashed to bits but second was sound.

As someone has mentoned on another post they all seem to be made by a few Chinese manufacturers so the name is largely irrelevant, mine is a 15" LCD with built in freeview and DVD, I have noticed that it tends to freeze for a split second when playing dvds but other than that its alright.

I would've bought a same spec tv from Tesco for £115 but they don't deliver to Jersey. Also I noticed when I was in Co-op t'other night they sell the Akura brand and I think Sainsbury do/did so they might have some deals on?

Hi

Another way to look at it is to buy an inverter.

I found a 150watt one in tescos bargain rack a while ago for £6. with that i can power a 15 inch freeview tv from Argos (£99) job done.

Just a thought
