12v fire tv

Anyone with 12v TV with fire stick or built in Fire TV? Can you run Fire and tv on 12 volt?

My 2006 Airstream had a 12 volt TV, but between the newer flat screens lower energy needs and the LED lights, running a television on the wimpy inverter and recharging the batteries with the OEMsolar panel... well, a DC television seems to have become obsolete. Of course I don't have a huge TV either.

There have been some mentions here of 12-volt televisions:

These threads are fairly recent:

West Marine used to have some, but they are no longer available apparently:

With demand for 12-volt televisions lagging, doubtful if any are made to be compatible with newer technologies like the Fire stick, WIFI, Bluetooth, etc. IMO. For instance, do any of them have an HDMI port?

Cheers,

PS -- Forgot to look on Amazon:

They do have HDMI and other ports but content needs to be from smart phone, either downloaded or hot spot if cell signal. Have genny but don’t want to run in evening so either a Goal Zero (22 has no inverter) or if no cell downloaded on phone to TV HDMI.

If I can find AC/DC tv with all ports I need when I have 110 (Dish, fire tv, soundbar) I would get that. Since max would be 24 inch for my Sport, more limited. Is nice 28” on Amazon. Too big

Or, just chill and night or get the Goal Zero
