I am confused about the energy consumption difference between a 12 volt television and a 110 volt television that runs through the inverter.
For example, I have spent this whole time thinking I needed to buy a 12 volt tv, but after thinking about it for a bit, why can't I just buy a regular 110 volt tv, plug it in, and let it run through the inverter off the batteries? What would be the difference? and how does the energy consumption differ between these two different ways to run an appliance?
(both units are going to be a 28" LED HDTV with built in DVD player. I have an 800 amp hour battery bank and a Xantrex 2500 watt inverter.)
thanks for any and all help,
Kevin
