Never did buy one.  Winterized my pod and forgot about TVs.  Honestly, a tablet has been pretty good for watching a show and take very little juice to recharge.

Did you end up buying this one for your 178? If so, how did it turn out?

In a small room, smaller works. 

Funny you mention this.  I have my 12" laptop on my lap right now, with my 60" television about 15' away.  From my perspective my laptop's screen is much larger than the television.

Excellent point. To big and you have to swivel your head like you're watching tennis.

Since inside an Rpod, you're never more than a few feet from the TV,
I've found the stock TV works just great, what is it, 20"....?

I've also replaced the original 19" with a Vizio 24" and it fits in my 2014 178 just perfect. Probably couldn't go much bigger unless you find a 25" or 26" that has very little bezel to offer more screen space without physically being any larger.

We just got a 179.  The previous owner put in a 24 in.  I think much better viewing than the original 19in.  It can be easily tucked away like the 19in.

I have a 2014 R178.  It did not come with a TV.  What size is max?
