If all you want to do is watch a movie occasionally, take a laptop. Plus, they can be both recharged and run with a cheap $20 inverter than runs 100 watts (we've done it, works great).

It doesn't take a fast laptop, either. You could buy a used one from somewhere - our very old one that is probably worth no more than $50 would do just fine - and just keep it in the TM.

We pull out our sofa, lay down together, and I put the laptop on my lap. Works perfectly.
