Unfortunately this TV is not what I expected. I purchased what I thought was a 12 volt TV, in fact it was a TV that requires 240 volts transformed into 12 volts. The intended use of the TV is from a 12 volt socket on a car or boat .. and I have not been successful in finding the right connection, or perhaps the 12 volts I am plugging into does not have enough amps ?? either way it has been very frustrating.
