Another option as well.. I have 3 TV's in this house
One Dynex, I think it uses 120vac
one "Off brand" not sure how it's powered think a 12 volt converter brick.
one Samsung... Now this is the baby.. For one thing if I ever were to take a TV outside this is the one I'd take. (The only one not BOLTED in place, it sits in the laundry basket when on the road)
But the thing... Some people claim that hooking a 12 volt TV direct to the motor home 12 volt system has damaged the tv, since the MH is really more like 13.6 (13.6 is close enough to 12 it should not)
But the Samsung... is 14 volt.. I suspect it will work very well on 12 if I get the proper power cord.
