22 inch monitors - are they 12v?

[Ari]

Monitors like this one - are they actually 12v with a stepped down 240v transformer supply?

I'm looking to put one in a motorhome and connect it to something like this to be able to play DVDs.

Would it work?

Ah, that's helpful, thank you. Hadn't thought of checking user manuals, I guess most are on line somewhere.

Tried a few user manuals but couldn't find anything about voltage in them...

I've been looking at Samsung - can be monitor or TV, I want it to connect to a DVD player. Something like this would be perfect but it needs to be 12v so that I can run it from a 12v 'cigarette lighter' type socket.

Or use something like this: http://www.screwfix.com/p/ring-power-source-invert...


Check the power output is adequate. There are larger capacity ones.

That'll flatten the battery very quickly - they're horrendously inefficient.

How about this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12-Volt-Freeview-Super-S...

Indeed regarding the inverter. Plus there seems to be something innately wrong about spending money to turn 12v into 240v if it is immediately turned back into 12v again by a transformer.

The link you provided may yet prove to be the answer, I'd just prefer to have a decent make that would hopefully work better and last longer. Not been very convinced by 'no name' AV stuff.

When stationary with the engine off?

It looks like I'm probably going to be best off taking a chance with a 'no name' on the basis I can just bang the lead into the fag lighter socket and switch it on.

Any use?

That is very interesting, thank you.

I feel I must be missing something fundamental here - any thoughts?

Why is this TV £300

And this TV, which appears to be identical £170?

Happily it will fit right next to the stereo which is a normal car type with an 'aux' input so I figure I should be able to get a lead that goes from headphones output to the stereo aux input
