Well Mr. Jim please inform the group of the flat pannel HDTV your using
that runs off batteries.

I'v got a Magnosonic 15" with HDTV resolotion (1280 x 760) that runs of
12 volts, I don't have the manual with me IIRC it uses less that 2 amps.

That's a top quality brand name. Where did you buy it ..... on a
trip to India? Are you changing your story now by stating this thing
has "HDTV resolution" You stated you had a flat panel HDTV. Does this
Magnosonic thing have a HDTV tuner built in? Does it have a 16:9 ratio
screen? If so where can one be purchased?

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. It has a DIN standard mount on the back so you can
buy a wall mount bracket of your choice.

Heres a manual of a similar model:

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.

Well, yeah. Unless you're really picky, why does it matter?

See, he told the truth!

A Canajjian one.

Hey, here's a joke some people might appreciate... Why
doesn't MG (the British car mfg'er) build TV sets? They
tried, but they could figure out how to make it leak oil.

Check around the RV market. They generally get stuff like
this before it filters down to the boat market.
