sure you can.....but...here's the kicker...if your new flat screen tv has one of those stepdown transformers type bricks....read the output of the brick...if (and I think they all operate on the same size)...it reads 12vdc....you can just plug or tap into the house batt. system...

I have a 2400 SCR and installed the TV off the 12 volt light circuit. Model is NAXA NX-555 with DVD. Great TV and minimal draw
off the batteries.

Food for thought.........it you go the electric outlet 110 way instead of 12V with your TV and DVD, pickup an electical plug-in that goes from 2 outlets to 6 that also has a surge protector built into it.
