For a bedroom set, usually smaller, the 32” units are a dime a dozen. Also unless you are a big sports fan, most 32’ sets have a very good picture. good luck!

We had several items that were "designed for high-vibration environments such as RV's" that failed, so I took them apart. There were no potted components, no epoxy, no rubber isolators, or anything else to indicate that they were made in such a way. Everything was replaced with Samsung. They have held up very well.

I have been thinking about swapping out the TCL in the trailer with a 32” capable of mirroring and seriously looking at Vizio.Judy & Larry

Just watch and make sure the tv you buy still has a tuner if you’re ever going to want to use it to pick up over the air channels or be prepared to purchase a separate tuner. Vizio stopped putting tuners in their TVs a few years back. I’m not sure who else is and who isn’t at this point.

The dealer installed a Hisense in our new 337 RLS. We didn't like it (too small) so replaced it with a Vizio that works with our Vizio soundbar that we had in our home. It was ironic to me when shopping for the new TV that alongside the Samsungs, Phillips, LGs and Vizios was the Hisense and TCL models that we saw in RVs and they were no different than the RV models.

Good point. The D series Vizio have tuners the top end P and M do not. (At least here in Canada) I have a D32-F model in the bedroom, and when our cable dies, we use it with an external digital antenna to watch the news.
Further to post above, the only units I’ve seen with 12V TVs are Northwood Arctic Fox. Guess you have to decide if you want to watch when boondocked.Last edited by Skiddy; 06-03-2020 at 01:41 PM.

Add to what others have already said. Replaced the TCL in our living room for a 4k Samsung and Blu-Ray player. No problems what so ever. I upgraded the mount to at the time of install but that was primarily because the original couldn't be tilted down and the tv is mounted pretty high. Awesome upgrades as we love our family movie nights.

Regular tvs handle rv motions and bumps just fine. Used them for years. Personal choice on brand. Everyone has their opinions but IMO middle of the road tvs that are not the cheapest, but not the most expensive are best for value. Buy a smart tv for improving your options and dont shy away from ruku, tcl or Visio. Had all of them for years and no problem. Size wise, 32” is a good compromise for weight while having a big enough picture for most rvs. Should be able to get a nice choice for under $200. Good luck!!
