Trying to watch a 32 in Samsung TV at a tailgate. How long would it last for?

Mine lasts just under 3 hours. I use it during power outages where I connect a 40inch TV and decoder. This is not bad if you do not want to miss a match or an important news item

The battery in this (and others that are a similar price) is rated "18 amp-hour" hinting it can give you 1 amp for 18 hours, or 2 amps for 9 hours, etc. For running something needing 120V power off the inverter, if the TV or laptop needed 1 amp at 120V the inverter would pull 10 amps at 12V making the battery last under 2 hours. If the TV only needs 1/2 amp it may last ~3 hours, so it depends on what the TV needs to run (where measuring your TVs power draw with a meter like the "Kill-a-watt" may be the only way to know). If you find it only lasts 1 hour and you wanted it to last 3, then you could get another battery rated 35 amp-hour, connect it up with the jumper cables and they will "share" the load making it last longer.

I don't know how much help I can be but I'll give it a shot. I bought the Samsung because I own a Samsung LCD 46" bought in '08. I was quite happy with that TV so I stuck with the Samsung brand. I really think the 46" has a better picture than the 65" LED. Could be because of a consequential loss of picture clarity that comes with larger screen sizes. The UN65 has a dual core processor but if you're really into "smart," I recommend the quad core (more money of course). I subscribe to NFL game replays and they won't load well (and therefore can't view) with the dual core; I have to use my quad core computer. I think the UN has a really reasonable price, but you generally get what you pay for (as the old saying goes). Bottom line . . . I like the UN65 but, at the same time, I am a little disappointed. The only way you'll ever know is to look at them side-by-side and remember, showrooms do not have real-life broadcasts (in most instances) so when you get one home, your picture may not be a great as in the showroom. Hope this helps somewhat and good luck!

Thank you so much for your reply. Looking at spending 2k+ for a television gets kind of scary. The only reason I want it is for the Video game goodness I can get. I had a friend that had an old samsung 3 years ago and it had delay issues. He would push the button and a half second later his guy would shoot. arg. I would be so pissed. So I appreciate you putting my fears to rest. If you are playing gears of war then I bet it rules.

I'm using G2 and could not work it by Samsung 32' Led TV (It is 4yrs old). I don't know, may be your phone devices and tv may suitable. I can''t confirm that it is ok.

As long as you have the room, just measure the width and make sure the tailgate won't pinch it when you open it. It should be good though, you may want the 60 inch one

No problem with this TV. I also have the 40" and it is great from just about anywhere in the room.Samsung makes great stuff.

We had the tv for 4 years and never had any problem. It just went out after 4th year.

I bought one of these a few months back, just for an emergency battery TV. I doubt the warranty is no more than a year or so but the odds of it failing in that time are very low. The price is almost unbeatable............go for it ! Terry Smith / Nashville , Tennessee

Thanks. I will check out that issue. I have had the Samsung LN-T5265F for LESS THEN 4 MONTHS and have had 3 problems already. No picture, only sound. Lasts for a day then it seems fine again. Got a frimware update last time. Now, its wait a week for service man to show again and hope it works again tomorrow. Now I know why I have stayed away from anything Samsung for the last 30 years....

We have a 60" tv (at our church) and it works great. 26" should be no problem.

It should have lasted longer. I'm on my 3rd. Bought the tv in Nov 2006. I got the bulbs for a little over $30 each. WATCH OUT, though. There is a defective chip in the Mitsubishi that eventually wears out. $200 to replace that. You can tell if it is going to fail if you get any dots on the screen.

It will last as long as any plug, but there is a trick to it. At times you get a screen that says you have a resolution problem, just unplug it and plug it in again and it should work.

I've had my tv for over 3 years and still love it. I don't use it often any more, but the battery will still last for about 1.5 - 2 hrs.

Not long enough. I purchased a proscan tv and six months into it it literally died. Luckily it was still under warranty so they sent me a new one. Six months later the new tv also died except this time the warranty had expired and to have it repaired would have cost as much as a new tv. I did done research and it turns out that the quality of parts used for this brand is not good. Do yourself a favor and buy a different brand of tv. It might be more extensive in the short run but you'll save yourself some money (and a headache) in the long run.

That's good to know Bridger. I have this one (Samsung plasma PN50B450) as well and the manual states that brightness and contrast should be reduced to prevent burn in while play video games. Also appreciate the first hundred hour rule-mixing tv with games.Thanks. The only thing I'm worried about is my kids walking away from a video game and a screen just sitting there. But hey, for the price you could buy another one and not spend what you can for a 1080p lcd 52 inch. I know that defeats the purpose but isn't that why you would be interesed in this tv anyways? for the price?

Same problem here. TV is out of Warrenty, and Samsung, of course, denied it was their problem. I had an Independent Technician come to pick up the TV, and brought it back two days later. Total cost $175.Now I have to call DIRECT TV and apoligize, as I was blaming them for the problem.
