What is a good TV to buy

Use your laptop.

 

If you give me some time, I just ordered the Naxa 19" 12 volt model without the dvd player. I have to wait for it to arrive, but then ill review it. I only paid $130 for it on buy.com. I could only find 3 reviews for it but they were all positive. I figured for 130 bucks shipped it was worth a shot.

What I intend to do is this. Like you I game, I use a PS3 because I also want the versatility of watching Blu Rays.

When my wife and I camped in our RV we had DISH network. I had 2 DVRs. I would record tons of different programs at the house, then when we went on the road I would take one of the DVRs with us, this gave us plenty of TV to watch without having to go through the pain of setting up the dish. I could skip commercials etc, and had it hooked up to the terrestrial antenna if we wanted to catch the news or whatever to stay connected locally.

Since I am a regional driver gone max of 3 days this situation works good for me since I can return home and swap the DVR for the other one at the house and be road ready again

I chose the 12 volt for versatility. I was using a cheap Wal Mart Emerson TV in my truck on an inverter and it worked fine but it wasn't my TV so I bought the 12 volt because I have a choice to run it off 12 volt or AC power.

Theres nothing wrong with using an inverter but sometimes I think it will be nice to not have to hassle with an inverter if I don't want to
