Modern TVs don't use a lot of power. A small inverter would be a perfectly fine way to go; it won't run down your battery overly quickly. That also makes it easier to hook up e.g. a blu-ray player or game system or satellite receiver if you wish to do so in the future. (It's perhaps worth mentioning that many of the newer game consoles use more power than you might at first suspect, often roughly around 100 watts, more than many television sets.)
Of course, if your television happens to have an external 12V power brick, it does make a lot of sense to power it directly.
