Powering a TV

I am just planning the electrical installation for my next boat (around 50 feet, 800Ah house bank and 1200Wp solar). Admiral and deckhands demand a large TV set (something bigger than 40 inch). I have spent a couple of hours to find TVs running on 12V, but this seems to be very difficult, all I could find was a 32" model with a serious price tag and questionable quality (Englaon). I understand, there are three possible solutions:

1. Use 12V and buy something expensive (maybe directly from China)

2. Use a small pure sine inverter just for the TV which runs on AC


3. Wire the TV (AC) to the large central inverter for appliances (more loss?)

Which one would be the most practicable solution (I understand that boats are always a compromise.....)?

Regards,

-Richard


P.S.: Same problem with the computer monitor for the nav-station.....
