DVD's almost done - NOT! When in our RV we watch DVD's 90% of the time as their is no TV signal and no Wifi for streaming. At homoe we stream with Netflix or use our laptops to watch programming, and about 10% of the time use our Dish setup which in a couple months we will be discontinuing as it provides so little value.
The Toshiba combo LCD TV and DVD player are top tier and will be the most reliable. We have one that has been in use for nearly 8 years. On the other hand we had a Polaroid and a Jensen and a Skyworth that lasted less than a year, and the Skyworth lasted less than a month and was sent in for repair under its warranty and the replacement lasted less than a week.
Any LCD TV that size will draw very little current and a small inverter can be used if there is no AC/DC brick. Important though that the inverter is not noisy as the very small ones will use a fan for cooling and the fan generates a lot of noise that interferes with the use of the TV.
Check the TV you plan to buy or download the manual online from the manufacturer and you can find the specs and determine the Watt size inverter needed. Most newer TV's this size will draw less than many older laptops.
