The short answer to the first of those questions is: yes! However, it would probably be useful for us to first remind you exactly what a “traveller TV” and a “smart TV” are:
-
What is a traveller TV?
A traveller TV is a television that is specifically designed for travelling purposes – or to be more specific than that, for use in mobile living spaces such as caravans, motorhomes, and boats.
These TVs tend to be rugged in their design. They are also usually 12-volt-compatible, so that they can be powered by a vehicle’s battery or a leisure battery.
-
What is a smart TV?
A smart TV is a television that can connect to the Internet and run apps. In this sense, a smart TV is to “non-smart” televisions what a smartphone is to “non-smart” phones that might be used purely for texting and making calls.
On a smart TV, apps like BBC iPlayer, Netflix, and Freeview Play enable the user to watch a variety of shows and movies.
Is it easy to get a traveller TV with smart features?
Well, that depends where you look! It is true that due to their typically modest dimensions – as are vital for ensuring portability – and the emphasis on durable design, traveller TVs haven’t always been the most technologically sophisticated devices.
However, as smart TVs have become more mainstream in recent years, there has also been a shift among TV manufacturers to produce more models that offer the best things about both smart TVs and traveller TVs.
By that, we’re referring to TVs that may be as small as 19” for portability, but which also boast 12-volt power compatibility, Bluetooth connectivity, built-in satellite tuners, and multiple HDMI connections.
Another customary feature of smart TVs is – of course – a suitably “smart” operating system, such as LG’s webOS. Such a platform typically provides a single, central place for the user to take advantage of streaming services like ITVX, YouTube, and Prime Video.
Here at Cello Electronics, we’re proud to be a British manufacturer of smart traveller TV models that suit a wide range of circumstances and needs. You really don’t need to look anywhere else!
What situations might lead you to buy a smart traveller TV?
Really, if you have ever had reason to consider buying a traveller TV – such as for that caravan or motorhome holiday – you will probably have good reason to consider one of our Cello smart traveller TVs.
So, to give just a few examples, you might think about purchasing a smart traveller TV if:
-
You will be camping or travelling somewhere with reliable Internet – such as via Wi-Fi or a mobile hotspot – and you would like to make the most of this by streaming content during your time away
-
You like the idea of having just one travel-friendly device for accessing streaming services, Freeview, and DVD playback – so, no need to worry about cluttering your campervan or motorhome with multiple external devices
-
You will be spending extended periods in remote locations. You might know, for example, that the Internet will be satisfactory at a given destination, which would enable you to stream your favourite programmes and movies (and of course, there is always the DVD player integrated into certain smart traveller TVs, too).
