I am looking to upgrade the 24″ TV in the Ice Castle to a 32″ smart TV. I bought the 24″ at Best Buy years ago and it had an external 12v power supply that I replaced with a cigarette lighter cord. I see that there are a lot of actual 12v RV TV’s online, but they seem overpriced and most are not smart. Any advice would be appreciated.
It’s getting harder to find smaller TVs with the external DC voltage power brick cords. I tracked down a 32″ Samsung that had one…but they seem to be 19VDC, not 12 volts anymore. I solved this by using one of these DC to DC converters (12VDC to 19VDC) https://www.amazon.com/Step-up-Regulator-Vehicle-Supply-Converter/dp/B00S0UFR14
Once you find your 32″ 19VDC TV, youd have to look at its needs for the amps and watts, and then you can pick out the best converter that best fits your TV’s power needs.
