I suppose I could get a pure sine wave inverter but most of these seem to be overkill as the whole TV unit only draws 65 watts. I was hoping for something small, quiet, and inexpensive.
Samlex 120W PSW costs $100 on Amazon. Not sure about "quiet", very few inverters in that range are fan-less and those cost more. Place it closer to battery, ex. in through-storage, then you won't hear the noise. Inverter actually has to be close to battery. You can add a remote switch in the room somewhere, though small inverter can idle 24/7, its idle draw is low.
