Tv, dont shout at me lol

So we pick up our new/old caravan tomorrow, due to wife having had a stroke, she's not so steady on her feet & likes some tv time to escape from me & reality, looking for a reasonable 12v tv, have seen a cello 32" tv, does anyone have an alternative idea, I know tv in van is a contentious issue so don't shout at me lol.

More expensive but good quality ( in my experience at least) is Avtex.
If you are running off hook up and don’t need to just use it off 12v some folks use a cheap and cheerful “home” TV

If you were closer to Worcester, you could have an old 12v Tv that we have stored in a cupboard. However why do you want a 12v TV. Do you go off grid a lot as a normal 240v TV coudl be okay for your needs. We have a 240v 28" Tv in our caravan. Also a 12v 32" Tv will drain your 12v battery quicker.

If your always on hook up then any TV will do.

If you intend to go off-grid then you could get away with using an inverter but that will drain your battery even quicker.

We use a 24" Cello TV/DVD and are very happy with it.

Another one for a standard 240v TV (as I don't go off grid). Bought a cheapish JVC smart tv from curries. We never watch terrestrial TV live when we're away, we either watch Netflix or catchup / on demand. If the site WiFi is pants I set up my phone as a mobile hot spot.

If you time it right get to your local tip, there is always somebody throwing out small tv,s along with the remote. Just give them a story about your mates son Just starting a electronic course.

Thanks for answers/advice, we used to use a 240v TV from back bedroom & the van we have bought has a TV, not sure of brand/size as pick up van in morning, just wondered as my brother nipping my head BUT he has a converted van & parks off grid, most wild we will do would be occasional lay-by night & I'm sure we will survive with a board game or a book lol
