Largest Flat Screen in RV

I've seen RV with flat screen tv up to 55 inches. Now with the manufacture up to 80 inch tvs what is the largest has anyone installed in their rig. I'm looking to install a 65 inch but I haven't seen any rigs with a tv that large. Can some one point me in the direction of pics of a rig with a 65" flat screen or an installer.

Saw where a guy had a 6 or 7 foot drop down movie screen over the dashboard and a projection unit back near the kitchen. I suppose you could hang a sheet on the side of the rig and have outdoor movies too.

My thoughts on this, it is not about how big the screen is, it is about the sitting distance from the screen that determines the size needed to comfortably view it.

Take a look at some of the high end MH manufactures websites and photos. I'm pretty sure they have 65".

I did. The largest I found was 50-55". Im a little surprised that I haven't seen one from the factory with a 65". I have seen Airstream with a projector option from the factory that's pretty nice but I like motor homes more then trailers or fifth wheels.

We were at one of the larger Prevost maintenance/repair/upgrade shops and they had a three or four new 55" Samsungs waiting to be installed in motorhomes.

If you're serious about a 65" in your motorhome, do two things:

1. Figure out how close to the TV you'll be sitting. Then go to a TV store and stand that same distance from a 65" TV. Ask the salesperson if you can view a regular OTA channel (it should be presented on the TV as HD, probably 1080p, maybe 720 something or 1080i ... but NOT 4K). I think you're years away from getting 4K in a campground or OTA or regularly over the satellite. I question whether many TV programs/movies are being shot in 4K yet. In most cases at the TV store you're watching a 4K/Ultra High Definition feed which is NOT what you'll get at home. Make sure you're watching in the store what you'll be watching in your motorhome.

2. Then measure a 65" TV. Making a cardboard template of the TV. Use the template to find a place in your motorhome where a 65" would fit. I think you'll find out that only a motorhome with a really, really ceiling will work with a 65" ... or to use some kind of motorized drop down device in the front of the motorhome from the ceiling.
