[C320-list] TV/DVD

The "transformer" actually reduces the power from 110 to 12 volt.  So you
could cut the line after the "transformer" and wire directly to the battery.
These small LCD DVD-TV's actually run on 12-volt.  That said, I put a $100
inverter in so that I can run on AC or DC.

Joe,

Both Toshiba and Magnavox had 17" LCD TV/DVDs when I was shopping last fall.
I'm not sure if they operated on 12 volts, though. I ended up mounting a 15"
Magnavox LCD on an arm over the nav station. I can plug a DVD player or PC
into it, and I can turn it toward the galley/companionway or the salon. It
plugs into 110 volts, but it has a 12 volt transformer inline so I have the
option of wiring it directly to a 12 volt source. Once you get up to a 17"
set, I don't think you'll find any that operate on 12 volts. 

Good luck.
