I have a cello tv, not a smart one and the only thing I could complain about is the sound, but there again all tv's have crap sound due to the size and position of the speakers, hence using a sound bar at home. (trying to find the time to wire the tv into the speakers of the motorhome radio)

TV is proably ok, the 'smart' end of it doesn't seem so Smart. 8gb memory and very difficult to add APP's and they keep crashing, that's only going by the reviews.

Wondering is it worth a punt, that is only ones guys opinion. must search for more reviews.

They don't seem to have a video for the 12volt Smart.

But here is their 'Traveller@ TV with Bluetooth and ezcast.

why not just plug an android tv box into your current tv? ... pick a decent one and you will get updates as they happen. Its unlikely that the Cello one will get timely updates ...

I avoid Smart TVs as they generally do not get updated by the manufacturers, even the big names. External boxes plugged in via hdmi are more flexible, and are easier to update when the latest OS comes along. Android boxes are plentiful and a lot cheaper than the TV you mentioned above. A bit of research will make sure you get one that suits your needs (e.g. many are 12 volt powered, latest android version, fast CPU, adequate storage, expandable via MicroSD, etc....).

Probably the best bet at the minute. I've never had a great Android box but I am sure they are out there. I'll have a look.

Even easier plugging the phone in, but then it's a pain if half way through a film a call comes in.
