I agree with MTDiver
I have not seen a DC TV larger then 13". There My be a 19" out there but the price on a 13"is high so I would hate to think what the bigger ones would cost. I can run my 27" off a 300 watt inverter.

The 2 / 6V deep draw batteries if not 4 is the way to go. Even a second 12V would help a lot and be cheaper as you probably already have 1.

The big question would be how are you going to recharge the batteries? If you need to get a generator to do this then why not just run off the gen to start with. Even though a 300 watt inverter doesn't cost much and could be used after gen curfew.

Solar is the other option buy way past the budget I figure your looking at or you would not have asked about a 12V TV. Anyway a solar system other then the trickle charger plats, would be $700 to $1k for starter kit.

If you have your heart set on a 12V TV I would suggest looking at truck stops for best pricing.
