What is a traveler TV, and in what circumstances might you purchase one?

In some respects, the term “traveler TV” might seem fairly self-explanatory: it is a type of TV that is typically small, portable, and designed for travel. 

Indeed, the very term “traveler TV” may conjure up associations for you of childhood holidays, with your parents having brought along a portable TV to help ensure you were entertained throughout your family break. 

But traveler TVs have come a long way over the years 

Much as even the most basic mobile phone available “off the shelf” today offers a level of technological sophistication that would’ve utterly dazzled most people just a few decades ago, a similar statement can be made for traveler TVs. 

Just consider our own range of such TVs here at Cello. We offer a variety of models in sizes from 19” to 32”, and incorporating features like LG webOS, Bluetooth connectivity, integrated DVD players, Freeview Play, and mains and 12-volt cables. 

5 reasons why you may look to acquire a traveler TV 

Presumably, the fact you are reading this article – perhaps having already perused a few of our traveler TV models here at Cello – indicates you don’t intend to simply dig out an older small TV from the loft in readiness for your upcoming travels. 

Instead, you might be in the market for a new traveler TV. This may indicate your situation is one of the following: 

  • You’re set to go camping or caravanning 

Statistics indicate that more than half (52%) of Brits have been choosing to holiday in the UK recently – and there’s no doubt that travelling in a caravan or motorhome is one of our country’s great traditions. 

Regardless, bringing a traveler TV with you can give you a reliable source of entertainment, even when you’re in fairly isolated parts of the country or the world. 

  • You need a source of entertainment on your boat 

With sources of power on the sea often being of the 12-volt nature, a traveler TV can be an excellent investment for giving a marine enthusiast a dependable device on which to watch their favourite shows and movies when they are out sailing. 

  • You spend a lot of time in a van or converted vehicle 

Most vans in the UK have access to 12-volt power – especially when they have been converted into a campervan. 

So, if you are a “van-lifer” – someone who lives, travels, and often works out of such a vehicle – a 12-volt traveler TV could be the perfect compact and durable entertainment solution you can trust to work with your van’s power system. 

  • You own a remote holiday home or cabin 

As rewarding as it can be to spend your leisure time “away from it all” in a tranquil and natural setting, if you own such remotely located accommodation, the Internet or TV signal might not be greatly reliable. 

So, you will be thankful in such circumstances for having access to a traveler TV with a built-in DVD player for a ready-made source of entertainment (do remember to bring your DVD collection with you as well, though). 

  • You’re seeking out another TV for home or ‘backup’ use 

They may be called traveler TVs, but there’s no rule saying you must only ever use them when on a journey somewhere! 

Indeed, many people decide to invest in such an affordable and portable TV as a secondary option for the home. In today’s world in which some of us are living in small apartments that we might need to move out of at short notice, such a TV can make particular sense. 

There you have it – five excellent reasons to give serious thought to the notion of purchasing a traveler TV to support your lifestyle. With Cello Electronics being one of the most trusted names in this field, there really is little need for you to consider any other brand.
