I've done this with no issue - specifically bought a bluray that accepted 12v in - and its never met its wall wart.

Haven't had any issues like this... In addition to the bluray, I added a 12v TV to bedroom for use when boondocking (no built in inverter in my rig, and preferred the direct 12v plug in to inverting 12v to 110, then transforming 110 back to 12v...)

Size was a challenge - which is why I 'added' and not 'replaced'... Many with external transformers seemed to run on 19-24V. But found one a little smaller than the 110v that was on board.
The 120v TV is mounted from factory on front of a 'swing up door' - I mounted the 12v on a 'swing down mount' attached to the back side of the door... 12v power was already passing through the cabinet for lighting.
When we have 110 - you never see the 12v TV.
When on 12v, flip up the door lifting the 110v TV out of way, and flip down the 12v TV from back of door.
