We just put 2 new flat screens in our bus a 22" in the "living area" and a 19" in the bedroom. These replaced a 19" and 13". My eyes just couldn't focus on the smaller screens like they used to. Jack
Mine is the same as Jack's, a 22" for the livingroom and a 19" for the bedroom.

Hi,
We have a 32" LCD HD Magnavox in LR, 20" sony LCD HD in BR, 20" HD Sony LCD in Bay, 10" ?? LCD in Bath, 7" LCD Pioneer in dash.
Still no where near Jodi Foster's 18 flat screens, with 18 Direct TV recievers in her new Marathon H3.....
I feel normal!

Hi: I plan to put a 102" LCD/HD TV in my bus renovation slideout to watch the weather reports and the news from the Middle
East. I figurer I will be doing a lot of watching TV since gas prices are going to be above $5.00 per gallon soon. And also an extra camera monitoring my garden produce that I will surely have to live on. Anyone with a few chickens for sale? Maybe a goat or two? LOL I won't need a GPS because of high fuel prices. However, I still hope to travel a few hundred miles a year. LOL
In the meantime, take care until the Lord returns.
FWIW
Sojourn for Christ, Jerry
My main HDTV above the driver is 37 inch and the bedroom is 32 inch.
I could only afford LCD but they work fine.
32" 1080p LCD Sharp Aquos in the bedroom, 19" Dell 720i LCD HD flat panel in the kitchen/dinette, and a 7 inch wide screen, 480i LCD Sony over the drivers seat.

I have a 30" Sony in the living area a 20" Sony in the bedroom both have built in DVD players
Geez,
7", 19", 20", 32", 102", 47'6".........
we have one 20" CRT type that will cease to function in about a year on open air broadcasts.
We also have 2 tower computers with FPD screens, a spare tower that sits under the bed in case I do something stupid to mine, (again) and a laptop that pretty much only runs our GPS system.
I can think of a lot of things more fun than watching bad reruns of "Friends" "CSI Miami" and "Seinfeld", along with 155 channels of paid commercial programming.
Why drive the bus thousands of miles, hither and yon, near and far, too and fro, back and forth, etc only to sit inside and watch the same TV shows you could watch at home for a whole lot less than $4-$5/ gallon?
That's kind of like a lot of the blue hairs do... go on vacation to far distant cities in our beautiful country and then the first thing they do is go shopping at Walmart! ;)
We got a 42" with surround sound in the living area, 24" LCD in the bedrm.

I have a 13" CRT that runs on 120vac in front and a 9" AC/DC in back that I took out of my truck that has seen well over a half million miles of bumping around-do you think the LCD's or Plasmas will last like that? I plan on keeping them and just buying a converter box that will convert the digital signals from my batwing or land cable to analog signal. I have a 26" LCD at home and so far am not terribly impressed with it over a CRT. You can't beat the longevity of the CRT-lasting decades sometimes. Good Luck, TomC

Wouldn't it be a lot easier to put in a smaller TV and watch the news from somewhere inside your bus?

Yeah, what kind of batteries do you have in your remote, that you can change channels from the Middle East?

Dallas,
The reasoning is that when you are too tired you can sit in front of a TV and vegetate.
If it's in the bus then you don't have to go very far.
Satellite dome on the roof and cool ones in the fridge.. You always know where you are regardless of the scenery....
I am starting to think that I am better at vegetating than doing much physical stuff
lately. The exception is my monthly 2 hour phone call to dish network for fouling up my billing and equipment list.

Hi Guy's,
Just a reminder.
Lets not forget that Plazma's don't last very long operating off a Modified sine wave inverter..... Use true sine wave only!
Don't ask how I learned about this..
Nick-
and unless they've fixed the new ones, Plasma's don't do well going up and down from high altitudes such as the rockies.
Also remember that plasmas have a type of gas in them that dries up in 7 years. I don't want to be replacing them every 6-7 years. This info came from a tv tech that I believe knew what he was talking about. On the other hand they may become obsolete by that time. Marc
I'm with Dallas & TomC...
We have a 19" CRT in the living room that we moved from the bedroom. No TV in the bedroom...... I am the only entertainment in there ;D
We gave away the 20" CRT that was in the living room.

Yeah. I agree. Bedroom TVs are a distraction. My laptop...that's OK.
Nick, does the inverter induced failures apply to LCDs also? HOPE not. We have a 15" LCD that has worked well for years on a cheapo DR2424. Could operate the LCD from 12Vdc.
We have a 15" LCD (Aquos?) that works for all the TV watching we're going to do. Terri goes to sleep with the chickens, and I wander aimlessly around the campground looking for anyone that's still up and coherent. That's usually Julie. That's FlaCliff's Julie.
I've noticed a definite 'geezer' tendency at some bus rallys. Almost no one moving after 9P??? ;D
They're all inside watching big-screen TVs...now I got it figured out. :(

Hi JR,
No, only Plazma's.. I don't know exacly why, but they fry!
