We watch TV on the laptop, or if I somehow forget to bring it then the iPad from the chart table. I cannot recall using a physical DVD in years, but my laptop can play them if needed.
As far an actual TV goes, there are two issues: 1. Powering it. Inverters are not all that expensive. 2. Storing power – I would add batteries for the whole boat instead of just for a TV.

They might be more expensive than the normal (120 V) ones, but not $1000 more expensive. Also, do you need a TV or just a screen (monitor)? They are even easier to get in 12 V version.

I keep thinking there must be a better way to watch TV then spend $1800. If it were me, I would probably spend the money on improving the boat systems overall vs. a dedicated TV battery.

I'm looking at getting a Jackery solar system for my boat. I like the "2000 plus" cause it has a 30amp socket that accepts my shorepower cord and comes with two 200Watt folding solar panels. $1800 but cheaper and less labor than installing a Lithium battery system with solar panels. Anybody have experience with these devices? Chuck Resolute 1989 C&C34R, Annapolis
