Energy efficient TV's for RV and Emergencies

TV Buying Guide For 12 Volt DC ATSC Tuner TV

12 volt TVs made for recreational vehicles are perfect for emergency situations. The smaller 7 to 10 inch screens are very energy efficient (under 15 watts) and are what you need when operating solely from a 12 volt battery. Other 60 to 80 watt 12 volt TVs will work but for a much shorter time.

Features to look for:

ATSC tuner or dual NTSC/ATSC tuner (Never NTSC tuner alone)
Power consumption watts (the lower the better)
12 volt DC capable
Small screen
