TV for camper

Bessa

Where is the best place to buy a tv for a camper, i need to be able to connect to dish from Lidl. My present tv is not suitable.

Hi Bessa,

Why is your TV not suitable. AFAIK - you only need a SCART socket on the TV. Any model TV will do - if you have 240 voltage available - or do you want a 12V model only?

Hi our present set is dual voltage, but it does not have a Scart connection port, but has a VGA port. Is it possible to get a Scart to VGA lead.

Hi Bessa,

I not an expert, but I just Googled "Scart to VGA" and there appears to be a solution out there. Amazon and Maplins sell cables for converting Scart to VGA sockets, so might be your answer and a lot less than a new TV!:cool:

But be warned - there are limitations - check out the comments on the Amazon site < here >

Thanks the revues are not very encouraging. Any ideas on a new tv.

My TV came from Currys. It's a 15" LCD, 12volt with 230V transformer. It's got Scart, RGA and RF inputs. It cost around €130ish. There's lot's to choose from out there these days.
Your existing TV sounds more like a PC monitor, Does it have an RF input? Some of the Sat boxs will allow you connect via RF as opposed to scart.

Hiya boyoh, do you have a link to the Flat Screen TV for €89?

19" from Aldi looks good, dvd player & all that... might be a bit big in a camper though?

I was thinking the same. It is hard to go to a 15" TV when most people these days are used to watching 32" +. If you have room a 19" would be nice to have.

Hi Boyoh,

The satellite is working well with the new TV. I have read about people throwing the dish etc. in a skip, well our one works very well sitting in a skip on the top of a garden grape.

Congrats Bessa.

Hopefully the weather doesn't mean you have loads of reasons to be sitting in front of though!;)
