Roo TV Anyone Change it?

wicked1 · 03-01-2016, 01:37 PM

Anyone take the stock 24" out of their new Roo and change it to something else? I was looking to swap it for a 24 with 3 HDMI ports, using a Samsung?

I just swapped out mine for a 28 inch Insignia I bought from best buy. I believe it has 2 HDMI inputs though, not 3. Everything still slides and to be honest, with the small bezel around the edges, it really doesn't feel like it takes up any more room then the one before it. I plan to put the 24 inch one in the back area in the near future.

Here is the TV I used.

Insignia 28" Class (27.5" Diag.) - LED - 720p - HDTV Black NS-28D220NA16 - Best Buy

I am looking at a 32" Insignia with multiple ports. I just wonder how they will hold up to the bouncing since FR uses Furion which are more expensive but built for RV and Boats due to their ability to absorb temp changes and jolts?

@ $130.00 I am going with Insignia just for additional ports and larger screen.

I should have stated that our tv never is attached to the wall during travel nor stored in the (roo) trailer. As a 32" is going to be heavier on the wall mount during travel and is it not made for below zero weather.

I was wondering the same thing, does anyone know if the DVD player is capable of 1080p?

I find it hard to believe that a totally solid state tv would be affected by sub-zero weather. There's only a couple of companies that manufacture screens for the entire worldwide tv market and they are designed to live in sub zero temps. Also, solid state components are sample tested and designed to live in sub zero temps too. Based on these facts, not sure what the issue would be for a tv being dormant in this temp?

A Blue Ray player is 1080p. Technically it's not described as a "DVD" player as this terminology is used to describe players of standard definition or unscaled HD definition.

I think the liquid crystal tv would be affected by the temps, they could potentially freeze and crack as it is essentially a liquid.

I don't camp when it is cold and if I had to could bring the TV in during the winter. I am more concerned with all the Jolting around when towing but for $130 it would be a cheap mistake if it did not hold up.
