We had been very happy with our first lcd tv ,very good picture and sound, it was a bush model and we had bought it a couple of years ago from aldi , cost about Ģ 300. Alas we was burgled and that was gone. Bought a replacement from sainsburys , a mogen - but whatever I did I coudnt get a good picture so back it went ( It had in the mean time dropped in price from Ģ170 to Ģ130) . I looked in comet , all the suitable sized ones on display had lousy pictures - the saleman said it was there system at fault, but I am wary now and would like to see a good picture before I buy again. So any reccomendations for a 15" lcd tv , must be 12v ( we use a dc to dc adapter) , not widescreen or with speakers to the sides , so as to fit in available space. dont need freeview or dvd .
We use a Logik from Currys which I picked up as a Managers' special for Ģ79.99. Pretty good picture, 12V job.
We had exactly the same in comet. I queried the quality of the pictures, and was told it's because 75 TV's are taking a split feed off one DVD machine. OK says I, I understand that, now please hook up to a TV station so I can see the quality. Can't do that, it's too expensive to set up says spotty youth! Can't buy from you them says I.
Not sure about picture quality 12v versus 230 volt. Maybe I'm not too fussy - as long as I can watch the news and see where the ball is in the occasional football match I'm happy!
Remember, when selecting a TV, that some of those sold as 240v are in fact 12v models supplied with a separate PSU in the mains lead to reduce the mains voltage to the required 12v.
These will probably be keener priced than a specific 12v model.

I have the mikomi and am very pleased with it. It operates on 12v through a PSU. It will run off the dc/dc stabiliser although it will require a 4 pin plug for the tv. I decided instead to use it via an inverter.
Argos sell the Mikomi but I bought mine from ebay.
Digressing a bit, but are 12V TVs usually not a very good picture?

There is no technical reason why a 12V Television has poor quality pictures.
It may be that some equipment is built to a poor standard though and aimed at a budget market. Theres plent of good quality 12V equipment around but im not sure in an MH if 12V is actualy worth the premium, Id rather invest in a small invertor if needed and use a mains LCD Television.
At my workplace I have some 12V profesional TV kit that is built to a very high standard and meets the highest technical standards but its not for motorhome use.
