Which Flat Panel TV does everyone have?

On Wednesday we are picking up our new Grey Wolf 28BHG. It did not come with a flat panel TV for the "flippable" entertainment center. What is everyone else using for this? And what about a DVD player?

Thanks!

Lou

My first suggestion is to check with the manufacturer to see if the unit was supposed to be equipped with a TV there. I have seen posts where the dealer did not install them even though they were supplied with the unit from the manuafacturer.

Mine came equipped with a 22" flat panel Venture TV. It is a 12V TV. It is fine for us. I have never priced it out, but my guess is that it is a cheapo.

The tv that came with our Rockwood 1809S Mini Lite is a KNOKA I'm also sure it is a cheapo but it works fine!
Whoopps misspelled the brand it is KONKA

We didn't get one with ours either and don't have the flip around. We have looked around and found Walmart to be the cheapest way to go and get the 3yr extended warrenty with it. We can get a 22" for under $200. including ext warrenty. HTH

My 2604 came with a Koncia 22 inch that I changed out with a Vizio 26 inch Lcd from Walmart. We had digit cable at the KOA in Gettysburg and the picture was great. If I could crack the code on my Concertcrap, I would be I business. Cheers,

Mine came with a 17" Concertone.

I replaced it with a 26" VIZIO I bought from WM and installed a 18.5" SANYO in the bedroom. It also came from WM.

I bought a 26" cheap one from Best Buy and it comes with a DVD. I don't remember the exact price, but it was cheap. It works in the driveway, gets local stations with no problems.....so far.

I bought a 22" TV/DVD combo from Best Buy a week and a half ago. Some off brand. It was $249 and has already served us well.

We waited and looked around something to come up on sale. We ended buying a 22" Element LED (5lbs) for under $200 at Target.

we want to get the 26 LED also when it goes on sale. These TV's are very light and good picture too.

Great Info... We take delivery tomorrow, and I don't recall seeing a good place for a DVD player, and I believe the space is recessed, so I am thinking that the ones with the built-in DVD will not work... Will know tomorrow.

Turns out it came with a tv.... granted it is a bit small, but it will work for now. I have my eye on a 22' LED TV that will work off of 12V from Walmart...

Went with a 32" LCD. It's a Best Buy house brand. It has been flawless so far. Hardest part was mounting it inside the cabinet to clear the slide. I would like to have fit a 42 but there just is no room.

Next I will likely mount another of the same in the bedroom.

Believe it or not it is wired up through the stock crapcertone which works great.

Ditto on the 32" Toshiba 32AV502RZ. I didn't get a bedroom TV, but will likely add one by removing the TV shelf that I keep banging my head on, and subbing a LCD mount.

Anyone have thoughts or pictures on which/whose mount to use?

Ours came with Toshiba and Konka. I'd like to add a third to the bunk house. Do they have to be 12V or will newer trailers convert a standard TV?

i installed a 22" sharp w/dvd in the bedroom. took the doors off of the fdw cabinet and built a sloaped stand so that the tv would face the head of the bed (both vertical and horizontal). there is a reason they put the tv's at eye level in the store. whatever u buy, check it from the angle ur going to watch it. the plasma's didn't have that problem but they run hot and pricey.

if i ever sell the trailer, i can always reinstall the doors and put a 13" in the orgional slot.
