TV Monitor on board

[Nina Lucia]

We are looking for 19- 21 inch TV , 12 V that we can use as screen mirroring, handy for Navionics from my iPhone, and occasional You Tube or or some movies at anchor.
Is that possible? We did look at the Avtex but not sure if they can do this?

I have a telefunken 15 " LED that runs directly off 12VDC and has input for computer VGA, normal broadcast TV aerial video input and S video input.

We use it to watch satellite TV and as a monitor on my 12VDC fanless PC running my OpenCPN and all other PC programs and internet browsing and EMail

We have a samsung smart tv -just plug in your hdmi cable to your iPad and your tv-you need an adaptor to make an hdmi cable fit the iPad of course.

I put a Cello 22" smart TV on my fwd bulkhead, takes 12 or 24 volt.
Been very pleased with it, it takes a usb GPS dongle and a memory card.

What does the tv do with the dongle plugged in ?

Switch to the local language for the menus? ;-)

If you have a Samsung Phone and a TV with HDMI in then this works quite well ...

... otherwise, one of these ... need a TV with HDMI (TV Signal) and USB (Power).

Do iPhones do "casting" (or is that from the other side, viz Google?)? If so I believe there is a choice of casting receivers to plug into an HDMI port on a TV if it does not receive it natively.

We have a couple of LG 24" Smart LED TV's (from Argos), they're 18v but I just use a 12v to 18v step up converter (cheap on ebay) and this works fine. You can screen mirror Android to the TV over Wifi or HDMI. Much better quality TV than the proper "12v" jobs.

Runs OpenCPN, what else?
