19 volt TV
I'm in the process of installing a 32" tv in my Winnebago. My Samsung has an external AC to DC adapter. I was hopeful that I would be able to get an adapter to run it on 12v until I saw the adapter ...

I am not familiar with the DC/DC converters so I was curious how much more energy is used to boost 12V to 19V. You have to be eating more amps to create volts so I wonder how that compares to the amps lost converting DC to AC. I see that many of the inverters claim a 90 to 95 percent efficiency which does not sound too bad.
Does a DC/DC converter get hot as well while boosting power? Looking on Amazon, the DROK looks much bigger than something that could be built into a cigarette lighter adapter as described above. Any thoughts?
Sorry for all the questions, just trying to learn something.
