I rushed into buying a TV last month from Harvey Norman. All of the 32inch TVs only ran on 240v some of the smaller models had the transformer box dropping it down to 12volt from 240v but a smaller tv is not what I wanted.

i scratched my head and decided I will just buy the 32 inch and run the 240volt through the 2000w inverter that's wired throughout the yacht.

After doing some trials with the shore power disconected and the fridges off ,

I only got around 1.2 hours until the low battery alarm sounded on the inverter and then loosing all the power!

My last 22inch 12volt Grundig could run for a good session of movies or around 12 hours with the fridge running as well before the battery's would get to 12.2v.

I do do only at present have 200amph battery life and I wonder if this increased it may give me more time but I kind of doubt it! What do you guys think?
