There are 12V TVs you could probably get for not a lot more than a decent inverter. That, and there are bunches of USB ports that can be run on 12V as well. How elegant is that?

Elegance is in the eye of the beholder. I mounted mine under the dinette since that's where I worked. The inverter ran the second monitor and re-charged the laptop. That's it.. 
Personally, I have found the tv not to be useful at all. Barely gets any stations and don't like size nor location of mount, I took mine out. I use my laptop for movies and such.
