Quick answer

Choose the Avtex SmartPRO 18.5-inch if you want the most compact smart TV for tight caravan spaces. Choose the 21.5-inch model if you need a built-in DVD player and a larger screen for family viewing.

Screen size and space: the first trade-off

The 18.5-inch model fits where space is at a premium, such as a small campervan or a caravan with limited wall area. The 21.5-inch model gives a noticeably larger picture but needs more mounting room and a viewing distance that suits a bigger screen. Measure your available space and consider how far you will sit from the TV before deciding.

DVD player: convenience vs simplicity

The 21.5-inch Avtex SmartPRO includes an integrated DVD player, which is handy if you still carry discs or want a backup for areas with poor Wi-Fi. The 18.5-inch model does not include a DVD player, so you would need a separate player if you want to watch discs. If you rely on streaming and Freely, the 18.5-inch keeps things simpler.

Smart features and connectivity

Both models are smart TVs with Freely, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and a HD satellite decoder. The 21.5-inch adds Airplay support, which can be useful for streaming from Apple devices. If you use an iPhone or iPad to cast content, the 21.5-inch has an advantage. Otherwise, the smart platform on both is very similar.

Decision rules: which Avtex SmartPRO is right for you?

  • If space is tight: Choose the 18.5-inch model when mounting space is limited or you want a lightweight, compact setup. Measure your available wall space before ordering.
  • If you need a DVD player: Choose the 21.5-inch model if you want to play DVDs without adding extra equipment. Check if you still own DVDs or plan to use them off-grid.
  • If you use Apple devices: Choose the 21.5-inch model if you want Airplay to stream from an iPhone or iPad. Confirm your device supports Airplay.
  • If you mostly stream: Choose the 18.5-inch model if you rely on Freely, Netflix, and Amazon Prime and don't need a DVD player. Ensure you have a stable Wi-Fi connection or satellite signal.
