Its very simple using DC power but not with your laptop, because your laptop can only output videodata via vga or hdmi to a monitor or a projector but it cant accept input data from external source to serve as a monitor. I stand to be corrected.

The solution i discovered is to Buy a 17inch led TV for like 25k or there about. It uses 12vdc, your gotv too uses 12vdc. Buy a laptop powerbank that is capable of supplying 19vdc and12vdc from konga or jumia, then you will enjoy your tv programme for almost 19hrs with at least 5 hours of charging.

Thats exactly what i use and i have never regreted putting my money into it. It saves my fuel to a great extent. I also bought a 5watts12vdc led bulb to give light to my rooms and a 12vdc Rechargeable fan to blow me all night.

I am free from my generator noise and phcn's interruption of my lovely tv programs.

DC is the future of electricity in Nigeria.
