I would recommend a pure-sine wave inverter if you need to convert from 12VDC to 110VAC. I use one in my Pod for the TV and especially for my laptop. Another camper stopped to talk to me when he saw I was using my laptop. He complained that his laptop would not work with his new inverter. There was power coming from it. He brought his laptop over to my Pod and it worked with my inverter. I then realized that my inverter was pure-sine but his was a half-sine inverter.
So a cheaper half-sine inverter may not work with some of your electronics.

And with some electronics - not many - a modified sine wave inverter will burn them up. This is true for some electric shavers, and I almost burned up a X-10 controller during a test. Unplugged it in time.
For lighter-duty stuff like laptops, cell phones, etc. I recommend the Morningstar 300 watt pure-sine inverter. It is the most efficient small inverter on the market. So efficient it doesn't even have a cooling fan. http://www.solar-electric.com/mosu300wasiw.html

I just looked. Those TV's are larger that what I was looking for. I thought someone had mentioned the new R-Pods coming with the small flip down TV that we're DC/AC. That's what I was looking for.
