Will all inverters run a tv please. Not sure if some outputs are not suitable?

Inverters tend to be rather inefficient, you may be better buying a 12v television.

Many thanks everyone. Just got the camper and the inverter is already installed. The tv we have spare is not 12v. So will have to try inverter to start with. Not sure if it's a sinewave or modified sinewave. Will give it a try tomorrorw. Many thanks.

Fired this up today and this inverter runs tv fine. It is a bit noisy tho! Do they all make a noise like a fan running? Or do you think this one is getting on a bit?
I would imagine that most of them do have a fan inside to keep the electronics cool, but if it is exceptionally noisy it could be that the fan bearings are worn out.
Bear in mind that inverters take quite a bit of battery power in themselves, on top of what the item running from them takes. Consequently they can drain a battery quite quickly if used for long periods without the engine running.
