    I had a Sharp 19" flat screen/DVD player in my T-2000 that I used to drive. Plugged into the inverter. Worked great and never a problem other than a weak signal from time to time but that wasnt the tv's fault. I kept it on the shelf with 2 bungee cords around the base to hold it. It never fell off or anything.

    Actually, a regular house t/v works just fine, use a small inverter and your good to go!

    Its cheaper, easily refundable or exchangible if something goes wrong, and fits good, etc.

    I always remember this guy that had a mid roof Freightliner and he bought a 42 inch Flatscreen and mount it on the roof of the bunk So when he laid down on his bed, he could see his TV straight through without bending his head forward. Never knew how he secured it above?

    digital Antenna? the antenna doesn't care if its digital or not... a pair of rabbit ears will work.... the only thing you need for good digital tv is a signal booster.... we use the stock tv antenna in the truck and a 25db signal booster

    I have a 24" Sony Bravia mounted to my wall. It's a swing bracket mount. I use a couple black bungie cords to keep it stationary while moving. Have had it two years in there and haven't had any issues.
