Topic: TV size and movie watching Posted: 20 Jun 2021 at 2:38am |
I was able to squeeze a 40" inch tv into my 189. The part of the detachable mount mounted to the wall seems quite secure; I've made 2 trips to FL and several other short ones without issue; the only issue I have had is one of the VESA mounting screws to the TV itself coming loose and falling out, the other 3 held ok. I do use a small jack type step support during transit under the tv on the shelf.

I have an Apple TV in a wall mount that keeps it flat against the wall. It connects to my phone's hotspot.

I Stream off my phone. I have an adapter to HDMI and use apps on the phone that I use at home through my Roku, like tubi or Frndly. There's lots out there. It requires a decent cell signal.

ALUMAN, are you using an Apple HDMI adapter or a 3rd party one? As you probably know, Apple just loves to suss out whether you are using an "approved", eg, expensive and profitable for Apple component vs a knock off and disable the knock off. Does your adapter work correctly on other TV's?

We use the apple lightning to hdmi cable converter to hook up to pod tv. I start videos on the ipad then I can close it while we watch movies. I also have used a roku stick in that hdmi slot without problems, have you tried another hdmi video device to test your tv?

Lettucewrap, how do you do it? We connected ipad to hdmi port on tv and got audio but video not showing on tv. We made several attempts with various downloads and still no video. We plugged lighting cable on adapter to ipad and other end was hdmi port which we connected to hdmi on tv and selected hdmi. Only audio. Netflix seemed to be blocked. Same was true for Amazon Prime download. Please advise. Thanks, Mike

Yeah, first gen flat screen TVs were really heavy, took two folks to hang a 55 inch. Thick glass. I just hung a new 65 inch by myself, weighs all of 50 lbs. I doubt you could get anything bigger than a 40 inch in an rpod, if that. 40 inch Hisense Roku smart tv at Wally’s for $180, weighs all of 13 lbs.

We watch movies using an ipad connected to the TV. If you have Amazon Prime or Netflix you can download movies and shows at home and watch them at your campsite.

Probably depends on the vintage. Big TVs have been getting thinner and lighter for several years now. We had a 10-year-old one in our TV room that died suddenly. We replaced it with one that is about 10% bigger, yet it weighed less. I was able to hang it all by my lonesome.
