Let's talk flat screens in the bunk!

The problem is getting it thru the door.

 

not a problem

 

I've got a mini PC with a decent graphics card so I can play games or movies or whatever. You have to be aware of the size depending on where the mount is and if it has to swivel 90° to face you. Our new internationals switched from a sidewall mount to a back wall mount so in order to watch in bed it has to be able to lay flat to the arm. I've also gotten a 12 volt to 19 volt converter so it's not wasting energy converting DC to AC back to DC again.

 

My biggest gripe with those 24" TVs is they have absolutely garbage screen quality. When I was first looking they were all 720p with major ghosting problems. I ended up using a PC monitor and an external speaker bar.

 

A lot of TV mounts in the trucks have a 12 volt cigarette lighter adapter. That's what I'm plugged into. The converter is just a jellybean component you can get anywhere. I crimped the plug on either end into the wires for the converter. I tried getting a barrel jack to use for it instead of the one on the power brick. But it fit way too loose when I finally found one and I wound up just sacrificing the 120V brick to steal the monitor side plug from.

 

I had 20 inch flat screen hooked to a Roku and tied it to my phones wi fi.

Word of caution if you use the swivel mount , reinforce with som duct tape. The vibration from the truck will eventually break the mount points on the tv.
