Update: I got a call from Defender yesterday. The 2009 model of the Jensen JE1909, 19" HDTV, AD/DC will not be out until April. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on the JE 1908 (2008 model).
Big Pluses:
19"
HDTV w/tuner
DC power
800 contrast (1909 will have 1000 contrast)
Circuit boards coated for corrosion resistance
Internal components mounted to rigid framework, not exterior plastic
It's designed for marine use.
I may move it inside next Spring when the 1909 comes out for 3 reasons: I need to change out the tv inside (or do a converter box), the higher contrast will be better for cockpit use, and the 1909 has the controls on the front. The 1908 has them on the side, which may be inconvenient.
Last chance on comments?
