Hi Bill 12V DC TVs are sometimes stocked in the Trucker Fuel Stops. Also Walmart had one with an adapter 120Vac to 12 DC. Figure the polarity and cut off the adapter .Wire up to the boat with a fuse & good to go. Many options on sending video to the new TV/Monitor.

My impression from various reviews is that 12 volt TVs tend to be low quality devices. We watch shows onboard wit a laptop for the most part, but we have used a Kindle Fire on occasion. I would probably just get a decent computer monitor instead of a TV. Some of them run off 12 volts and the rest will work from an inverter. I don’t think I have watched over the air broadcast TV in years, all I see is streaming stuff one way or the other.

We have a 24 in tv powered by a 410w. Inverter. Plenty of power to run the amplified digital antenna too. When channels are not good we plug in the fire stick and use our hotspot on the phone. Ted.

I am partway through a similar project, I removed a half dozen stereo components and replaced with what is probably an RV style receiver, a Jenson JWM90A that has HDMI in and out and 3 zones, etc – I am planning on using a 1080 Computer Monitor, with a Motorola Digital recorder for the TV tuner, which I already use at home. Hoping to find a monitor that runs on a 14 or 12V power supply. Curious what 12V TY Joel found. Have several other projects to get through before I finish this one up.
