I'm not sure what you mean about making it into 12 volts.

Sorry, what I meant was that I presume there is no way to make an HDTV run
off 12v without an inverter.

Watching all those many hours of brain-numbing television has sure killed
way too many of your few remaining brain cells.

Go to an electronics store and look at some 19-inch TVs you'll find many
that have a little, plug-in power brick that outputs at 12volts. Duh!

Buy one of those and further destroy your brain vegetating in front of the
tube if you don't want the inefficiency of inverting from 12volts DC to 120
volts AC and then right back to 12VDC.

Sheesh!

If watching TV is killing his brain cells and you seem to imply that
you don't watch TV, what do you attribute your problems to?

We have a 2000 watt sine wave inverter/charger and it runs a 30 inch
HD flat screen just fine. Our house batts driving the inverter have
about 1000 amp-hours of capacity which is more than enough for an
evening of watching DVDs, running a couple of small fridge/freezers,
and several laptops.



Wilbur is gonna get you, Wayne!

If you think a 19-inch, flat screen TV has anything to do with cruising
you're delusional. But, then again, what addicted TV watcher isn't
delusional.

What does hanging on an anchor and expounding on how a real sailor
lives have to do with cruising?
