Anyone doing this long term with success? Did a search and found some resources saying it's fine and others saying don't do it, it'll fry the TV. When we dry camp, we "camp" and have very little u...

Been running one on MSW for three years of half timer usage and sat receiver for 11 years. There are a few TVs that run on 12V DC power and I tried one that required 14V and all I could get using 12V was sound, no picture.:(
That's what I'm looking for. I know it might be fine for one night or one week, but three years of half time usage to me is confirmation it's fine.
I did read that some MSW inverters are closer to PSW than others, stepping the voltage in a way that more closely mimics a sine wave. Hard to know though which ones do without an oscilloscope. But I do have an old UPS laying around that the battery went bad on. Since they are built to run computers, it's seems more likely they would put out cleaner power. I think I'll see if I can use that in some way to provide power to the TV.
