New TV with dual voltage

[homefor2]

I've been trying to decide what kind of TV I should buy that would run off batteries while dry camping. I bought a Samsung HD 24" TV at Costco which had a converter and was designed for 110 V. It said 14V output on the power box so I went to Radio Shack and bought a lighter socket power cord with the same size fitting that goes into the TV as the factory power converter. I just by passed the factory converter plugged into 12v and it works perfect. Now I can use either power source with the new TV.

There was lengthy discussion about 12 volt TV a couple of weeks ago. You did what most everyone recommended and also saved a bundle of bucks over buying a 12 volt only set. Enjoy!!
