[C320-list] TV DVD recommendation

[Scott Lagerquist]

I agree with Dianne.  A 400 watt inverter runs about $35 and will run a TV/DVD combo unit.  The advantage is you can significantly widen the choices for a new TV.  We went with a smart TV that we can play movies from a memory stick that plugs into the USB port on the TV.  The picture on our old TV/DVD combo was terrible at angles.  The smart TV has a brilliant picture and runs Netflix when WiFi is available.

If you see one in a big box store that has a transformer on the cord set, look at the output printed on it and if it says 12v or 12.5 v, you can cut the cord on the TV side and add polarized two wire connectors so that you can still use the AC adapter if you wish.

>>> I installed a Naxa 24” TV with built in DVD about a year ago and the DVD stopped working. I selected this brand because it’s one of a few that run on DC.  Its out of warranty so I’m wondering if anyone else has installed a similar type (tv/dvd combo) and if so what did you select. I prefer the combo unit that runs DC. Thanks for your help.
