55 of 56 units can run it. The smallest is the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus (286 Wh, about 2.7 h). 48 hold 4 hours of a TV with the calculator's 20% headroom.

A 50-inch LED TV draws 89 W typical and 110 W at most (Samsung's U8000F figures). A smaller set draws less; a large OLED or projector more, so put your own TV's label figure into the calculator.

What changes these hours

Brightness settings change the draw. Add the streaming box and the router if they run too.

The 0.85 allowance covers the inverter's conversion losses on average; at very small loads its own idle draw takes a larger share, and at very large ones the battery delivers a little less. Cold batteries hold less, and an older battery holds less than its rating. To plan a whole day with other devices and 20% headroom, use the calculator with 4 hours of a TV already added.

Also: a day in an RV, an outage, and every device.

Questions buyers ask

How many watts does a TV use?

TV, 50-inch LED / Crystal UHD: 89 W. Your own model's label or manual has its figure; put it into the calculator's custom row to size for exactly yours.

What size power station do I need for 4 hours of a TV?

503 Wh of rated capacity by the calculator's arithmetic (device watts × hours ÷ 0.85, plus 20% headroom), with at least 89 W of surge. 48 tracked units clear it.
