15" LCD TV wiring question
|
New member Username: WoodmanPost Number: 1 Registered: Aug-06 | I noticed that on some LCD TV's the AC power adapter converts the power to 12v DC. Is this the same type of 12V DC current that a vehicles battery uses? Is it possible to install an LCD TV that uses an AC to DC power adapter in a vehicle without using the power adapter, and an additional power inverter, if i ran direct power from the vehicles battery to the 12v DC in on the tv? The TV lists the power input as 12V DC, but im just making sure that I can run the power from the battery directly into the tv by adapting a plug. Heres an example of one of the types of LCD TV's that uses the AC to DC power adapter. It lists the power supply as: Power Supply 100~240V, 50/60 Hz, 12V DC heres a link to a lcd tv that uses the same type of ac to dc power adapter - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16889237007 The reason i want to do this is that i cannot find a 15" monitor specifically made for vehicles that is not a flip down ceiling mount type. I am building a custom console and I would like to put a 15" lcd tv in it.... |

A car puts out 12.7-14.4v, I'm not sure if the unit would be equipped enough to handle such voltage differences as the voltage regulator is most likely in the adaptor. It's worth a try, though. That is one crazy monitor. |

Go with a 10 inch raw lcd touchscreen that you can tie into a carputer with a controller board, or use just a nontouchscreen 10 inch lcd and tie it into a Head unit or other source of your choice. What do you drive? a hummer h1? A CXT international? What could fit 15 inches...? |

New member Username: Bennett21Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-07 | WOW you guys really are worthless. If he wanted to go 10" he would and if he wanted to use the power inverter he would. I have the same problem but I guess this is not the forum to ask on. Im putting a 15" monitor in a limo and I dont want to blow the damn thing up. I lost the ac/dc inverter for it so now I need other options. Will the car power blow the tv up if wired in directly? If you dont know dont answer. |
