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. ------------- sailorman |

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. ------------- The 178 club |

I've found with TV size, it's all about how close you are sitting to it. If you're in a large living room, sitting 20 feet away, 50" is pretty nice. In a small room, smaller works. 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"....? ------------- 2016 179 - Hood River Edition 2008 Nissan Xterra |

Excellent point. To big and you have to swivel your head like you're watching tennis. ------------- 2014 Rpod 178 Mods in Order: 1: Added USB charging port 2: Added Spigot at Fresh Water to make easy empty 3: Solar Panel 4: Cut dinette bench panel to improve access underneath |

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. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

Did you end up buying this one for your 178? If so, how did it turn out? ------------- B&A 2017 178 2016 Tacoma |

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. ------------- 2014 Rpod 178 Mods in Order: 1: Added USB charging port 2: Added Spigot at Fresh Water to make easy empty 3: Solar Panel 4: Cut dinette bench panel to improve access underneath |
