The sets certainly have RCA connections and I believe they do have HDMI as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruachan Posted July 13, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 13, 2014 :) And yes, you are also correct cap'n, I will have to dust the TV next time before taking the photo :o :) Thank you :) Pepper, I could be totally wrong here, but I think the TVs have changed since that photo was taken. They are now a glitzier, flat screen model and a good bit more modern looking than the previous versions. I really don't take much notice of the TV and never look at it unless it is to view the bow cam, but I think the ones on QV at least have been upgraded. Incidentally, I know there was talk on here a while back about the navigation/info channel not being available any more, but it was certainly available on QV last month. J PS - I don't think any of the above matters all that much anyway as I'm certain the new TVs are HDMI enabled. In fact I was quite regretting not bringing an HDMI lead for my netbook.

You can tell how old they are by the depth of the dust I think! I'm on QM2 on Monday so I suppose I could take some TV snaps. I always fill up the space behind the TV with the cans from the fridge to leave room for the champagne! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for pointing this out. The QM2 TV photo was taken December '12, and the TV and remote I had in my cabin last month on QM2 looked the same to me (which it may not have been of course!). It was a flat-screen TV and it, and the remote, seemed to be the same model as over the last two years whenever I've been on QM2. The QE TV photo was taken June '12 and I've not been back since then to check if it still the same. It was also a flat-screen TV. I am on QM2 again in a few weeks and will make a close check, I may even bring a duster this time... ;) and re-take the photos if needed. However, I am not on QE (or QV) for the foreseeable future so will have to rely on others to tell me that the photo is out of date. Incidentally, I know there was talk on here a while back about the navigation/info channel not being available any more, but it was certainly available on QV last month.Which it wasn't on QM2 last month :mad: Thank you again Cruachan, very good of you to alert me to this:) Edited July 13, 2014 by pepperrn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepper's pictures are a great source of information.Thank you cap'n, But not as great as your information, given your vast and unequalled experience of QM2. et al. My understanding is that you very occasionally come ashore, to try out dry land once in a while ;) :D Thank you again :) Edited July 13, 2014 by pepperrn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southwestie Posted July 14, 2014 #23 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I am on QV this Sunday, If I can find time from enjoying myself on the Cruise I may try and take a few photos of the TV, the back of the TV and the safe:D if anyone would like me to post them I will, I may take orders for photos . I have to admit I have not had the time to look behind the TV let know about the workings, but it is good info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
