Taking off my Moderator hat for a moment, maybe I can help the OP.
Can I ask why you're looking for a 12v TV?
I don't know what your experience level is with RV appliances and I hate to dude-splain, but are you just looking for a TV that will work in your RV or are you hoping to find 12v for a specific reason?
How familiar are you with inverters? This is an oversimplification, but you can power most household 110 devices with an inverter. The inverter "inverts" (changes) the 12v power from your coach batteries into 110 power. Again, this is an oversimplification, but you basically connect the inverter to your batteries and then plug the device(s) into the inverter. This lets you run a regular residential TV from your 12v coach batteries.
If that addresses your question, then there are a bunch of follow-up issues to deal with. What other devices do you want to connect? What type of appliances are they and do they have specific power requirements (modified sine wave, pure sine, etc.) How large are your house batteries? And on and on.
I hope this helps. It isn't the solution to your question, but hopefully it's a good starting point.
Apologies again for the unfriendly replies.
