TV with 14v brick, okay at 12.x volts?
I'm looking at a Samsung TV which has a 14v power supply brick. I would like to run the TV directly off the DC side of the RV. I expect it would be pretty good in the range of converter voltages of 1...

Like Paul says I have run a HDTV setup direct connected to the Rv 12VDC Battery system. The DC voltages here ranges from 12.3 to 14.4VDC depending what mode my smart mode converter/charger is using.
ALot of RV guys are really looking hard for these kinds of HDTV sets which are becoming hard to find these days it appears. Mine was an older VIZIO 19-inch model that used a 120VAC XFMR plugged into a DC Connector on the TV chassis.
I think mine said something like 17VDC required.. It worked fine being direct connected to my trailer 12VDC source with maybe the brightness not as bright with 12VDC...
Since then I have been using a 300WATT PSW INVERTER that produces 120VAC and that solved all the problems of running the home entertainment items off the battery banks... Having the 120VAC Emergency power available also allows me to plug in other 120VAC items that I might need when camping off the power grid.
I can run some 120VAC lights, CELL PHONE chargers, Computer Chargers, NOAH WX Radios, etc all from the 300WATT PSW Inverter 120VAC source. Always ON when I need it.
