Jeeze Louise, take it easy, I think you're mixing me up with Bob.
I did
not post the original story, merely reported the piece of kit that I
have. It does not have an HDTV tuner, unfortunatley, the screen is not

16:9, but rather 4:3. However it has a VGA input and if you get
yourself
a VGA to Component cable their is plenty of resolution to display
whatever comes out of your DVD player quite nicely. Having an HDTV
tuner would be nice but I only paid $250 CDN for it at our local
Canadian Tire store. .

JimC was the original poster who said he had a HDTV flat panel on the
boat. I asked who made a small flat panel HDTV that runs off of 12v.
Was it you who answered with the Magnavision or whatever brand name
that was? Be advised that "plenty of resolution for a DVD player" does
not make HD. Standard DVD players do not reproduce HDTV. Funny you
state that you bought the TV at a Canadian tire store because in doing
an internet search for that brand the only dealer that came up was a
tire store in Canada. What kind of TV manufacture only has
distribution in tire stores? In the end I didn't think there was a
small HDTV that ran off of 12v and I guess there isn't.
