We use a 300 watt Samlex PS inverter to run everything in our entertainment center which includes 40" HDTV, HD sat antenna and HD receiver, Bluray DVD player, and bluetooth soundbar. Our HDTV consumes less than 60 watts according to inverter readout, could have went smaller but wanted to have enough to run whatever was located within entertainment center. My DC socket did not have enough juice and the inverter squealed endlessly when plugged in, no biggie as I just ran wire of sufficient gauge directly from battery bank to easily power the inverter.
