What a bunch of doom and gloom! I guess you also have a 50/50 chance of wiring up your batteries correctly. Or is it even less than that if you got more than 2 cables to connect.
Those who are smart enough will use a voltmeter to polarity.
My Visio has a 12V brick. I've taken the battery to 16V with no problems to the tv.

"bypassing" the brick is not without potential pitfalls.
Insuring you have wired your cig plug to the TV CORRECTLY is one of the major hurdles that needs to be addressed properly.
You have a 50/50 chance of messing that up to start with and pretty much are voiding any hopes of the "warranty" covering your boo boo.
