    I was just curious if anyone has this TV and how is it ? From online reviews it seems the picture is ok but the sound quality isn't the greatest ?? Also how easy is it to stream stuff from your phone to this ? Not sure if I should get this or something from Best Buy...I got a 2022 midroof Pete and looks like the max size TV is a 24". 20220417_154806.jpg

    What is the price? You could get a name brand that has the same feature or more for a better price at Wal-Mart or Costco most likely

    Can't speak for the tv brand.

    Far as easy to stream from your phone to the tv...it should be.

    Just make sure you have a good signal on your phone or are hooked up to a strong wifi, and you should be good to go.

    It's a smart tv, so you shouldn't have to do much.

    Oh and far as sound quality, you can cheat there and always hook a speaker or something up to it I would think.

    @D.Tibbitt has a fair point. You could probably get something similar cheaper from Walmart. Can't speak for Costco,

    If you do get it, be sure to write a review. Help the next guy out and all that. ;)

    I use Cox Cable and have an older large TV in my den. Most of the time though I use the Cox app and stream my TV on my iPad, and so does my daughter. Personally, I would not buy large ticket electronics from a truck stop. I also would not purchase a lot of expensive electronics for my truck. I can't list all of the drivers over the last 20+ years that have told me about getting their trucks cleaned out when on hometime etc. If I were driving today and looking for a TV I would go look at a pawn shop to see what they have before plopping down a lot of C-Notes in a truck stop! I would also HIGHLY advise you to go see if that TV or something close to it is on Amazon. Then look at the reviews.

    If you wanna pay less there is some smart tv's on Amazon that are around $150... I'd hate to see ya blow money on that tv and then if it's like any other product the truckstop sells, it will last 6 months then go out.

    Just make sure if you see something similar cheaper that it is also AC/DC.

    I have a couple of Supersonic LCD TV's like the one you mention. I think both are 22 inch versions.
    The built-in speakers are a little weak, but usable. You can buy a $20 set of computer speakers to plug in if you need better speakers. I used a ROKU for years and then switched o an Amazon Fire Stick a few years ago. Both streaming devices work very well with these TVs. The ROKU requires a 120v AC (household plug). The Amazon Fire Stick can be powered by the USB port buit into the back of the Supersonic TV. This give the benefit of powering off the Amazon Fire when your turn off the TV. The remote for the Amazon Fire Stick can be trained to turn your Supersonic TV on and off and control volume. The Amazon Fire Stick is often available for about $25-30. It's regular price is $50, but it's "on sale" about 35 weeks of the year. You need an Amazon Prime account to get the most out of the Amazon Fire Stick. The ROKU does NOT require you pay any yearly fee to use it. The Supersonic TVs are not the highest quality TVs made but they are plenty good enough to use for years, unless you throw them around. I had the oldest Supersonic TV become hard to turn on a few years ago. It turned out the power brick was faulty. I bought another power brick off EBAY for $25 and kept using it.

    You need a 60 inch TV. Mount it on the back wall of the condo. :)
