I don't know about your TV but many 20"-26" LED TVs are actually 12 or 14vdc and use a wall wart to run off 120vac. You can actually bypass the wall wart and power them directly from the 12vdc supply, no inverter required.
If yours has a wall wart, look at the printing on it to see what the output voltage is.
Mena often makes the point that even if you do run the TV off 12v, the DVD still needs 120 so you might as well have both on the inverter. (also much greater choice in televisions at 120)
True, but if the TV you already have runs off 12v, its one less thing to worry about. That's the way I have mine setup. We use our TV much more without the DVD than with it.
