Really don't need the 110v option - as anytime you are plugged in - you will have plenty of 12v power as well...
However the choices for 12v TVs tend to be limited in size.

I didn't want to lose the larger TV, but wanted the flexibility of 12v.
I added a 13inch 12v TV in our bedroom for use when boondocking... It is out of sight mounted to the back of the door holding the 110v TV with a 'swing down' mount...
Open the cabinet (regular TV points to ceiling) and swing the 12v TV down - and along with the 12v smart Blu Ray player (we use with either TV) and connection to 12v AT&T Mobley - watch anything we like while disconnected.
Not as nice as the 32" main TV - but if I wanted all the 'creature comforts' - I wouldn't be boondocking!

Took a little looking to find a 12v smart Blu Ray - Ours is Sony - picked up at Best Buy a couple of years ago.

An option for a larger TV with a 'brick' providing power might be a voltage stepping circuit... But if the TV takes 110v directly into it - an inverter is needed.
