Also try Amazon. We bought a 19" LCD/DVD combo for $154 w/ free shipping. It was Viore brand. Had never heard of it, but it's been a trouble free unit for us.

One more thing about cheap Tv's is the tuner...I mistakenly bought a cheap LCD Walmart Tv and picked up 7 channels..I put my Radio Shack converter box on and get 23 channels.

About that Radio Shack box.. At one time RS sold Zenith, Zenith is an LG brand name and thus I would expect it to have problems, (Mine does, I have an Insignia, which is the same box with a different paint job) However the problem mine has you may well never notice, it only shows up if you leave it on the same channel for like a week at a time (I used to)

However, that said, A broadcast engineer I spoke with says it's got the best receiver (most sensitive) made.

He's the pro, I've never tested it. I know it works as well as my DTV-Pal and given the nearly fifty feet of "lowest bidder" cable between it and the switch box (As opposed to the less than 10 for the DTV-pal) it should not.

Is there a difference? YES: the one at camping world costs way more.

Now if you mean is there any difference in quality, construction, design, performance, et-al. Depends on the manufacturer of the TV

Best buy carries some products I'd not purchase less you paid me. But they also carry some very good stuff. (In case you don't know I do not like LG products and have never had an LG product I was happy with, BB carries LG, but then so does Camping world, only under a different name an not Televisions)

I saw a 22" LED TV that could use 120v or 12v with a built in DVD player. Ran about $300 and only drew 3a on 12v. I want to say it was a NAXA. If you dry camp very often 3a is a very low draw.

I bought this TV awhile back and love it. It's VERY light and the picture is good. I use it in the Master. Seems to be holding up fine so far and my TT has been sitting in 100 degree heat for weeks.

I'm a newbee to RVing, but been in the TV business since I was 9 years old. The advice you've been getting from the others is right on,
no need to get a special unit. Best Buy, Wal-Mart any of the major
retailers can supply the unit you need. Also, Channel Master makes
some hi gain antennas for example model HD4228 that work well if you create a good way to stow them while underway. Enjoy.
