An additional note on this old thread. My 12V TV finally quit a month
ago, and I was bummed because it was a cheap 12V TV that could play AVI
movies from a flash drive. I'd been keeping an eye on things, because
home electronics tend to corrode much faster than marine electronics,
and it was an LCD, so I knew it was going to die someday and am actually
very happy that I was able to abuse it for ten years.
I really thought I'd have to just get a 120V cheap flat panel that would
fit the space, and forget the 12V thing and probably forget the USB
movie thing, and forget watching movies while on the hook. I also
thought that might be a blessing in disguise.
Today at WalMart NV Mexico I found an RCA DETG220M4 that has DC input
and a 12V external power brick so I can splice it in, and it also plays
AVI to MP4 movies from the USB port. There was one left on the shelf,
so I grabbed it for 2200 pesos. It works great.
I only mention this because stuff in Mexico is often out-of-market stuff
that didn't sell up north and was dumped, and I've learned that if you
see something you need you must go for it immediately because it may
never be on the shelf again. Doing a Google Search, I only see a few
sources left for that specific model number. But if you're looking for
a cheap 12V TV that plays movies from a flash port, I'd grab it now.

Hey, I bought a 12v TV from Walmart ten years ago. It works. Go sailing.
