Topic: Question on TV Installation Posted: 12 Jun 2014 at 9:47am |
Hi All -
We're looking at purchasing an RP-179. One of the units does not have the Jensen LCD TV installed and the dealer would have to mount it. Is the TV normally mounted/installed by the dealer, or are some models just equipped that way from the factory? I assume it really doesn't make a difference whether its dealer installed or done by FR, but wanted to check. Thanks.

We have a 179 and the TV was mounted. The mount they use has no up/down movement just side to side. We replaced our mount with a full motion mount
"VideoSecu
TV Wall Mount Articulating Arm Bracket for most 12"-24", some up to
27" with VESA 100/75mm LCD LED Flat Panel Screen TV and Monitor ML10B 1E." from Amazon for $ 14.99. Works great.

Great tip on the mount. Thanks.
Does the 19" feel big enough, or would something a little larger be better (say 22").

The 19" is okay for us. It's just the two of us and we don't watch alot of TV

I wish my 179 didn't have the TV already- the mount FR uses is lousy since, as mentioned, one can't tilt the antenna for proper viewing angle when lying in bed.
Even worse the FR supplied TV is 110 V ONLY, doesn't work on 12V. I could have DIY'd a better system for half the money- caveat emptor. |

How did the replacement mount look covering up the holes from the factory mount?
