Tricky. Your 12V supply probably gives 12.0V. You boat will do 14.4ish down to 11ish. You need to know what you TV really wants in terms of voltage stability. I assume the 12V from the power supply is DC and not AC - one of the original reasons for having 50 lines on a TV is that it was easy to use the mains frequency to generate the picture (and that's why there are 60 lines in the US) - having said that, it's not so important as it used to be.
