12volt TV/DVD player

The quality on the 12volt models isn't always as good as the 110volt equivalent. An inexpensive inverter can easily power any range of electronics.

I use a 400 watt MSW (Modified Sine-wave) on a switched circuit to run our TV, DVD, Roku, etc.... when no shore power is available and it's too late to turn on the generator.

Since the time that I built my setup, the price on the True Sine Wave Inverters has come down some more, making it a more feasible route to take on a budget and will improve the quality of usage of any 110 electronics you want to use.

Just remember, you're going to need a good-size battery bank if you want to use electronics repeatedly while boondocking :).

See this recent topic. Nothing that special about a 12v tv, many tv's you buy from your local electronics store are actually 12v witn an external power supply. Change the cable to 12v and you have a 12v tv.

Has anyone ever bought one from the 12 volt store.com or any 12 volt stuff. How do you like it? We do mostly boondocking so I want stuff that's 12 v :) thank you for everyones input :)

For the price they are wanting for a 12 volt ? Why, when you can get a better system setup & use an inverter or just get a new set from most any Big Box store that has a inline Brick. I bought my entire system ( used Sony, used Panasonic Blu-Ray & a new 200 watt inverter for $125. Most Tv's on Craig's List, 32" & under have had very little use & were often used in a Master Bedroom. Just saying :h

Add a battery or two and a 2000 watt inverter and enjoy using 110V appliances. Throw in a small generator to charge the batteries and you can enjoy for days.

I have a 12v ty and it works fine ,its a TV and a DVD combo. paid $129. years back at best buy.

As that thread points out....get a normal TV, one that has a converter brick in the power cord....look at the info on the converter or the TV owners manual to make sure it is converting to 12V (most are). Then buy a 12V power cord for the TV and you don't need an inverter. Modern TV's, and computers, run on DC. When you plug them into a 100V outlet there is either a brick in the cord or inside the TV that converts the AC to DC. If they are using 12V DC you can run them right off the battery and save a bit of power and quite a bit of $.

I have a 12v dvd tv combo works great
Naxa is the name I think or close to that

They have 12 volt Dvd players at amazon for $27.
