The replacement tv type will depend on how you use your rv.
My 40” is a 12 volt model but uses 65 watts.
Our 26" 120V Samsung TV runs very hot, so much that I installed a computer fan behind it to cool it down. It's confinement does not help the situation. A new edge-lit 32" 12V TV may use much less power, hence run cooler and use less energy.
Our 26" has lots of frame. For a while now, the 32" is almost frameless so the over-all size is the same. I'd like to compare the specs on power consumption of what I have to what I would buy to determine if it is worth the effort and cost.
Here is our 26". It is mounted securely without an arm. There is not a lot of breathing room around it....air circulation is poor.
