Sometimes small systems are plenty
Friday my wife suddenly got the urge to camp. Immediately. All the TT has is the original Group 24 battery, 5w solar to maintain it and a 700w/1500w inverter I've never even run under significant l...

I deliberately chose a Vizio 19" VM190XVT because it had the 12V brick. The reason was that I could use the 12V plug at the Antenna connection.
It stands to reason that there will be less battery draw when I avoid the two conversions that would be needed if it was run from AC.
KAW shows the brick using 16.2W and 33.3VA at .47PF. That says to me 1.6A or less on 12V.
With an inverter I would use 3.3A plus inverter losses for the battery draw. 1.6-A is much better than 3.3+A.
