TV in a 32QBBS

Post by volfirefighter on 7/23/2009, 1:30 pm

I am wondering what owners of the 32QBBS use for a TV in the living room. I have not yet taken delivery of my 5ver but there are some good sales on TVs right now and am wondering what size I should be looking at. I know the I could have had a 32" from the factory, at an elevated price. I'm wondering though, when you view it from the outside window and you have an LCD TV, is it hard to see if you are not looking at it head on?

Thanks!

Hi Corey,

As you probably remember, we ordered the 32" Olevia TV with our 32QBBS. It fits nicely into the opening but when you rotate the TV to view it from outside, it is a little tight. You have to slide it a little bit as you rotate the stand around. Also, when facing outside, the TV won't rotate so that it is completely parallel with the clear view panel as the TV hits against the electric plug in the side wall, but it is really close. Having said all that, I would not go with a smaller TV. At first I thought it was going to be too big for the opening but after using it, the TV size is fine.

When viewing it from outside, the viewing angle is the same and is quite easy to watch. What is different from watching inside is that the clear viewing window isn't the same size as the 16:9 screen on the 32" TV so you lose a little, but it really isn't that noticeable. The kids weren't complaining anyway lol!

I"Ve got a Vizio 22" cause i was to impatient to wait on the 26" to come in,,,, The 22" Is fine and works well. easy to flip around and very light. The 26" would be just as easy to flip round....

I Doubt I"d get a 32" just because of the tightness,,,, I"d still go with a 26".

Night viewing is great ,,,, Dayviewing has a lot of glare on the glass,,,,

Thanks for the replies. I didn't get the 32" TV because it was a $1200 option which I could purchase at Costco for $400Cdn. Would have been nice if it was included as an included item vice being an option. Some makes include it just like my last FR 5ver did. I was stupid though and didn't take the TV out and asked to keep it to late when I traded it in. Sounds like 32" is the way to go but if you want to easily rotate it to view from the outside then maybe one a little smaller might be better... or simply easier to move.

We have a 26" flat wide screen LCD it fills the window on the outside. I couldnt inmagine a bigger one that you could view the entire screen from outside.
We also have a lot of glare in the daylight, but nighttime movies seem to atract everyone in the campground.
I have tried toying with sun shades and the awning, but still get the glare. Im going to try a shadow type box made out of cardboard one of these days. Goodluck with your new rig and HAPPYCAMPING TO ALL.
