There are many portable computer monitors of reasonable size (15") that are powered by the new USB-C connection. Some laptops also run/charge with one. It's much smaller than the old USB connector...more akin to the Apple Lightning connector.

So there may very well be a USB-C powered TV. ANYTHING would be better than those cigarette sockets. They're awful. They can even get pretty warm drawing a few amps over a longer period of time (hours). They were designed to light something on fire by generating heat, not as a way of distributing power.
