In this review, we’re taking a look at six different 12V televisions in different sizes that will work great in RV, campers, vans, boats, and skoolies.Īs a consumer, there are a few things to consider, and you might have questions, scroll to the bottom of the post where I’ll talk about a few points to consider and questions related to DC powered TVs.

It worked great and if you want to be able to use a regular tv in your RV without having to install an inverter or run a generator the power station is a fantastic way to go. To run it we used a solar generator power station ( click to view article on the best power stations/solar generators). In our travel trailer, we ended up having to replace the 12V RV TV with a regular ac powered one. If you’re camping without hookups and no power, a 12V TV can run on the house batteries in your RV, bus, boat, truck, or van.īut if you plug a 120 volt TV into an outlet in your trailer, it won’t turn on unless you’re running a generator or using an inverter. The big difference between a 12 volt and a normal 120 volt TV is just that, the voltage. Related Product: We use the reliable VMAX 100Ah AGM battery (click to view on Amazon) in our RV. That being said, there are some excellent choices, and that’s what we’re going to look at in this review. Therefore the market isn’t as big in the category. They’re not as popular since they’re not as sought after as regular televisions.

I think this must be a software problem with the Eeprom unless those better experienced and knowlegible than me can see this being caused by something I am not thinking of.Finding a 12V TV to put in your RV bedroom or living area that runs off dc power is not as easy as finding one for regular homes. However on every third attempt of turning off then on at the wall the 12v displays then rapidly drops down to near 0v and if I press the Power on or remote at that point the set comes fully to life. When i turn it off at the wall instead the voltage obviously plummets straight to 0v and if I switch it back on at the wall the voltage measured at D3 goes to 12v and stays there! - pressing the Power button when the reading is this 12v wont let the set fire up. If I then press the P on button or remote while these readings are either 12v or 0v the set wont come to life under any circumstances. I find that when I have the set actually working and I press the Power button to put it into Standby the red light comes on but 12 volts remains across the board through D3 and supplying the v regs for some considerable time and then drops to 0v. Still doing more measuring but not complete yet. I think I have now shown the V regs not to be the problem as they all work fine once power actually reaches them down the circuit. Thanks Comptek (looks like your close to me - I live in So Shields!). I would be extremely grateful if anyone has hit this problem before as i have never seen such especially with the power coming from an external psu or can point me in a new direction or highlight a component that can do this.

I assume from the symptoms some faulty component is requiring the external voltage to be removed so the standby and red light dies before it will reset itself and then only after several attempts.

Have also done a full system reset - which showed no improvement and now seem to be out of ideas. When at standby the board shows 12v and 5v standby alt all the relevant test points and when the tv finally comes to life every marked voltage on each board point measures exactly what it should be. Have removed and checked every cap on the mainboard and all are fine. When told these were the symptoms I was a bit cynical but sure enough nothing else seems to get the tv to work other than the above procedure.Īs the set is powered by a "power brick" supplying 12v it was easy to substitute various other 12v power bricks but all work as above. Switching on and off several times at the wall and then pressing the Power on button or remote sees the tv come fully to life ans stay that way with all functions working and a superb picture and sound. Pressing Power on or using RC fails to bring it out of standby. When switched on at mains the standby light comes on solid red. My latest acquisition is this LED Tv with the following symptom.
