Mitchell & Brown Takes Tizen on Tour with New 12V Smart DVD Travel TV

New JB-32DVD1811TZ combines Tizen Smart TV, 12-volt operation, built-in DVD, terrestrial and satellite TV reception in one highly versatile 32in Travel package

Bolton, UK – Mitchell & Brown has expanded its compact TV range with the launch of the JB-32DVD1811TZ. This feature packed 32in Smart Travel TV is designed to give retailers a compelling proposition for customers looking beyond just a conventional small-screen TV.

Combining 12V operation, Tizen Smart TV, an integrated DVD player and terrestrial and satellite TV reception, the new model creates a distinctive sales opportunity spanning motorhomes, caravans and boats through to bedrooms, kitchens, student accommodation. Its flexibility and compact dimensions give it a unique selling point in terms of longevity, allowing the TV to move with its owner for the duration of its 7-year warranty and beyond.

The JB-32DVD1811TZ also marks Mitchell & Brown's first TV powered by Tizen, the established Smart TV operating system developed by Samsung. Bringing a mature, intuitive Smart TV experience to the new model, Tizen provides straightforward access to a broad range of streaming entertainment, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and YouTube. Tizen is one of the most advanced and frequently updated TV OS systems with a slick and polished interface, and offers the largest TV app ecosystem.

For retailers, the small screen smart travel TV proposition is backed by an unusually comprehensive range of alternative viewing options. Twin tuners allow the TV to receive compatible terrestrial and satellite broadcasts, while the built-in DVD player gives customers access to existing film and TV collections without requiring a separate player.

The JB-32DVD1811TZ can also operate directly from a 12V DC supply, making it ideal for the growing leisure vehicle, caravan, campervan and marine markets. A 12V cable is supplied, while the TV can equally be powered from a conventional 100-240V AC mains supply, significantly broadening its potential customer base.

“Compact TVs often involve a compromise somewhere, whether that's connectivity, Smart TV functionality or the number of ways customers can actually access their entertainment,” comments Dan Brown, Purchasing Director at Mitchell & Brown. “With the JB-32DVD1811TZ we've brought virtually everything together in one very flexible 32-inch package. Tizen gives us a fantastic Smart TV platform, while 12V operation, DVD and both terrestrial and satellite reception make this a model retailers can sell into a remarkably wide range of applications.”

Connectivity further strengthens the proposition, with three HDMI inputs for games consoles, set-top boxes and other sources, two USB connections, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth audio connectivity. Despite packing all that functionality into one TV, the JB-32DVD1811TZ weighs just 3.7kg and can be used on its compact central stand or VESA wall-mounted.

As with all models in Mitchell & Brown's premium TV ranges, the JB-32DVD1811TZ is supported by the British brand's comprehensive seven-year warranty. This provides an important point of differentiation for retailers and long-term reassurance for customers.

Based in Bolton, Mitchell & Brown combines distinctly British brand values, UK-based support and strong independent retail partnerships with a growing range of TVs designed specifically around the needs of UK consumers. The JB-32DVD1811TZ is available to Mitchell & Brown retailers now with a suggested retail price around £349 RRP.
