Salem 261BHXL - Television recommendation

My 2016 Salem Light 261BHXL that did not come with a television. Any recommendations? Not sure if my unit supports a 12V, still learning of the specs on my new purchase.. thanks in advance!

Just get a little inverter and get any 110v AC tv that fits. Better quality, more choices and cheaper price compared to a 12v tv.

I am considering something like this. Portable and you can use it inside or out. No wiring or drilling holes. Hang a screen out side for drive-in style movies.

50 ANSI lumens is not very bright at all. You will not be able to use it at daylight at aii, except perhaps at a 2' throw for a picture that's around 1' x 2'.

Even at night, you won't be able to have any room lights on.

By way of comparison, my Acer H65 10BD is 3000 lumens.

We just used regular LCD TV's and plugged them in on our 2015 261BHXL. In the bedroom, a simple articulating arm mount. Push the tv back and it snaps against the wall for travel. Pull the chain and the TV comes out when parked. For the living room, just a regular mount. I think the TV's are only 27" or so, but you can probably go up to 32" and fit.

We have no use to try and use 12v TV's, but I guess that's always an option if you need it.

This is the mount we got for the bedroom. It has a locking pin which is obviously critical for travel.
