Why inmheck you you limit yourself to only crappy 12 volt TVs? Most all smaller TVs have a transformer to drop from 120VAC to 12 volrs DC. So, go pick a TV in size and picture quality you like the best, take it home and connect away. BTW why 12 volt? Your dish receiver will need 120 volts anyhow.
Little off topic here: We purchased a new television for the TT living room just last week. Got it at Best Buy. I asked the "kid" about the power supply, because the demo model had the DC power brick. He looked at me like a deer caught in the headlights. He admitted he didn't even know the newer televisions ran on DC 12 volt (actually my new one is 11.5) He made the comment, "So THAT is what that square thing is for on the power cord!" Image that!
Television works great in the camper. Very light weight, good strong, nice sharp picture, good sound, and pulls in all kinds of nice over-the-air television stations. It works a little funky with our radio-CD player in the camper, but once we got it figured out, it works just fine now.
And yup young fellow! "THAT" is what that square thing is for on the power cord!
I'm aware of the brick transformer but not all small unit have them. And my biggest issue is getting the remote programed. I spent 1.5 hrs with Dish and we could not get the Axess remote programmed. It lack the codes.
