led/lcd television.

I queried the max power allowed for the Kogan units and was told not to exceed 13.8v DC

So make sure that the shore power, battery charger, or solar or wind charger are not operating and no engine is running as this will invalidate any guarantee.
 
I got a Samsung 22 inch monitor (not TV) about 6months ago. The monitors tend to give better picture quality than a TV, are more future proof and consume less power.
It will operate from 12-14v so a direct feed from the batteries is OK.
The best bit is it only consumes 0.9A.
In conjunction with a notebook there are lots of, low power. ways to watch a movie or TV.

"Made in Australia" What kind of a joke is that? No consumer electronics have been made in Australia for at least 40 years may be more. Once upon a time we made our own TVs but then the Japanese got into the business then the Chinese, Koreans etc. All Oz electronics, clothing manufacture, toys in fact almost everything but a few Oz cars. I am just having a rant. It seems all we can do is export LPG and Iron ore with a little Wool and wheat. Not that we should complain as the Chinese and Indians are keeping us afloat when the rest of the world is sinking. (garn ge bag to the Lounge olewill)
Good luck with the onboard TV olewill

What it is to be a primary producer.

Is the Holden still in production then - I thought the Oz motor industry had gone the way of the UK-owned motor manufacturers (Morgan's now the biggest and McLaren 2nd)
 
Hi Charles

Yes Holden (owned by General Motors) is still building cars. According to Tv show Top Gear they do try to sell the top of the line as a muscle car in UK as a Vauxhall. However I dont think they show too well against German/Italian stuff. (Just a big "get out the way" V8) However they periodically try to make a small car (or even medium sized) and fail miserably. The current 2litre is called a Cruze and is pretty aweful by oriental standards. The big cars are still popular and sell well probably relying on tradition more than excellence. Likewise Ford still make big cars but all the small cars are rebadged German Jap or Korean.
Toyota still make the Camry but again it is really only the big models (6cyl) that sell all the rest are imported.
I bought a Ford Territory late last year. Australian made it is a version of the old Ford Falcon but with some pretensions to 4wheel drive SUV. Mine is only 2wd but has bigger wheels and a huge 2600kg towing capability.I do love the way it is easy to get into. But it knows how to drink petrol, 4l engine. I just try not to drive it much. All Territory are automatic including 6 speed on 4X4 model.
Anyway not very boaty but you did ask. olewill
 
I went through the same process about five months ago looking for a 22"+ 12V tv.

I read some reviews of the Kogan TVs which didn't fill me with confidence.

Eventually I bought a Cello 24inch LED TV/DVD Combi (C24100F) for just over £300.

So far absolutely no complaints on a variety of inputs: DTV, DVD, Blu-ray and HD satellite.
