i think you will spend a lot of money on either a 15 or 17 inch, theres been a few post on this 8" screen 240 & 12v looks good but 8 at is small but if you only use it for camping then its fine, 8" tv

bought a relisys 15in lcd tv from asda for £150, came with a 240 to 12v adaptor which plugs into rear of tv , I use it at home in the kitchen, & take it with us camping, but as we are always on ehu its always on mains, but assume it would be fine on 12v as long as the polarity is correct on 12v supply! so possibly medium sized lcd tvs require less power than crt tvs hence the 12v inlet?

you can pull up anywhere use the tele and hardly use any of the power from youre leisure battery.

We bought a 7" lcd medion telly from Aldi about a month ago and went camping with it a few weeks ago.

Was able to watch the World Cup games while camping in the Lake District.(and reception is supposed to be bad there)

We also bought a 15" Technosonic from Tesco's £169 just saw them this week at £159 I'd take mine back & get the tenner back but it was nearly 3 weeks ago. The TV works great though I even had a picture without plugging the aerial in.
