VERY disappointed
Very disappointed in this tv. I was looking for a 12 volt tv for my liveaboard boat. I bought this to replace a 27″ tv, of a different brand, that had horrible speakers and unlistenable sound. When I opened this one up, it was the same tv! Different name on the front, different software, but the same case, connections, everything! And, like the previous one, the speakers and sound were terrible, even with an equalizer and various sound settings it sounded tinny and was actually extremely aggravating to the ear. And, it wasn’t a 28″ as described, but a 27″. To get around the horrible sound, I tried connecting to my Bluetooth speakers. Very spotty connection – sometimes it wouldnt connect at all – and if I was standing beteeen the tv and the speaker, which was only 8 feet away, the signal was totally blocked. I’d never had that problem with any Bluetooth device I’ve ever had. Obviously, this tv has an extremely weak Bluetooth signal. Checking the company’s store, they claim to be an American company, but the tv was made in China. At around $500, this tv was a disaster. I wound up buying an LG tv for $200, and a 12volt to 19volt converter for $20 and have a great picture with great sound, and excellent software with many more features!

More than I expected!
I bought this TV to use on the outside of our travel trailer. After reading up a bit on different MFG and Models, I paid a bit more than I planned but man I’m glad I did. Its12vdc, light weight, great picture especially outside, and It was set up for antenna reception, plus blue tooth so we get the benefit of Starlink or T-Mobile it has a built in DVD player too. I can also pack it with Starlink in one protective case and I purchased an aluminum swivel mount which can easily be attached and detached. Honestly I’m extremely happy with this purchase and the TV is apparently associated with LG and has a ton of features, the reception on the antenna is great. This TV gets two thumbs up in my opinion!

Not Android, But It Will Do.
Good TV, but it’s not Android. So, make sure you can achieve your streaming goals with this product. I couldn’t figure out how to share my S24, iPad 7, or Windows PC wirelessly. The Spectrum app appears to be unavailable, so I’ll just HDMI from my PC. Prime, Netflix, and a bunch more are pre-installed.

Ignore the negative reviews and buy this product!
My husband and I have enjoyed using both the original 28″ Transit 12V TV we acquired through a friend several years ago as well as our new Transit 32″ Platinum Smart TV w/DVD player and Bluetooth. There aren’t many true DC powered high resolution TVs available that are designed for the challenging environment of RV/mobile use. We spent quite a bit of time researching available 12V mobile TVs for our vacation trips and settled on the Transit series and the product has not disappointed. The reviews we read for overheated power cords and faulty screens are without a doubt the result of incorrect voltage to the units and poor connectivity. My husband repairs electronics as a side job and can tell you the Transit TV lines are top quality. They operate on 12V DC power with a minimum of 5 amps to run properly (but also include a 110V power adapter). The detailed owner’s manual written in plain english cautions about overpowering the units and improperly wiring them into circuits that are not designed to run 12V equipment. As many of the reviews state – the customer service is excellent from Free Signal TV. We have also used several of their OTA digital TV antennas (Marathon Plus and Marathon Metro) and questions about installation were promptly answered and spare components readily sent to us when requested. It’s difficult these days to find a US company that stands behind their products and also provides excellent customer service. So ignore the negative reviews citing failed screens and power cords overheating and buy this product. If there ever is an issue the Transit TVs carry a one-year no questions asked, free replacement warranty. To me, that’s peace of mind that makes the investment in a Transit TV well worth the money.

Poor Customer Service
TV is great. Have used it in my RV while camping. Decided to install a ROKU stick; however, I couldn’t get past the TV manufacturers screen. Have been trying to get someone in customer service to help me with setting up a ROKU Stick with the Transit TV. ROKU requires the name of the manufacturer; however, no matter what name one inputs (Free Signal, or Transit, or the Model Number) it comes back with not a recognized manufacturer. Have tried to speak with someone in Customer Service. The recording asks to “leave a message and someone will return your call”. Well after 2 hours of waiting, no one has called. TV is Great. Customer Service is lousy.
