And as I say, with the IR headphones we can do so without disturbing anyone else on board, too.
That would be nice with a movie like "Master and Commander" or "Pirates of the Caribbean" :) Those IR headphones are pretty cool.

Actually, we prefer something a wee bit more romantic before bundling in for the evening...

Romantic, Dave, not x-rated. Think "Ghost" or something like that....

I have 13 inch AC/DC HDTV (it has the digital ATSC tuner in it) w/ DVD that I mounted on the outside wall of the head. It mounts like a picture frame so it is easy to take on and off, I don't keep it in the boat all the time because I also use it as my kitchen TV also.

I use it mostly on the boat to pick up the local 24/7 digital weather channel, it's a cheap way to have radar and forecast info when on the water... and the kids like the DVD player.
