Although most electronics are available with satisfactory performance in DC models, televisions are a different matter. Miniature TVs are available in DC but larger ones are all AC. There are many different technical specifications between TVs but the goal for you and your guests is simply the experience of picture quality or what is called presence.<ref>http://www.wilcoxlab.yorku.ca/PresencePapers/Lombardetal2000.pdf</ref>
In a small sailboat or cruiser you are likely to prefer a DC model designed for recreational vehicles. In a larger powered boat, with a goal of minimising AC consumption and inverter size, a 50-inch 720-pixel (720p) LED-LCD with a 9-foot (ft) viewing distance is probably optimum. Plasma delivers a better experience but is losing the market because LED-LCD is cheaper to manufacture and can deliver higher resolutions, with less energy consumption.
