Continuous sine wave inverter for LCD tv

Low wattage INVERTERs are cheap - I would not get a MSW INVERTER for anything electronic. Then you never have to worry about anyone seeing the 120V MULTI-HEAD taps and plugging into it.

We use a 600WATT Sign Wave AIMS INVERTER ($150 AMAZON) that is always ON. Ran two multi-head Extension cords from the INVERTER with one going to the Home Entertainment location and the other one going to the bedroom night table location. These are my two 120VAC "ALWAYS ON" power strips for all of my must have ON items like cell phone and computer chargers, WX RADIO, HDTV, and a few other items deemed emergency type units.

I had to replace the power supply in my TV after using a MSW inverter, after that I got a PSW inverter.

Can't see the exact product since I don't have a Canadian Postal code but I do see it's a Power bright, a cheap inverter. Inverters are one area where there is a large difference in quality between cheap and good.

I'd suggest to get a pure sine inverter from Gopower, Morningstar, Samlex, Victron, Magnum, or Xantrex. Don't buy the cheapest Samlex, the fan is noisy. I use a Xantrex Prowatt 1000, mainly because I power a dorm fridge. It is a brick, no noise whatsoever. You can aim much smaller for an LCD screen, 300W will be more than enough.

Moved from General RV'ing forum.

MSW works well with laptop chargers (but check the first time you use it to make sure it is not overheating) and many other things. I have used my ink jst printer a lot on MSW.

However do not try to run a laser printer on MSW, it will not like it.

This is what I am looking at

Keep in mind that your TV is operating on DC. The brick may be in the cord or it may be in the TV itself, but it's there. If it's in the cord, look at the DC volts, if it's 12 you can remove the brick, buy an adapter and run it right off your batteries without any inverter, which is converting DC to AC so the TV can convert it back to DC. If it's 18, 24 or 36 volts it's over my head. Do a search on the forum for particulars.

My cheepo MSW gave some picture interference with lines on the screen.

GoPower 300w sine wave gives no issues. For $25 give the MSW a go.
The brick supplies DC to the tv and the brick does not care.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "continuous modified sine wave" inverter.

I wouldn't expect any issues with either a MSW or a PSW converter. My motorhome has a fairly cheap little under-cabinet LCD TV that runs just fine from a smallish MSW inverter (along with a cheap little DVD player).
