    If you have a tv that will only run on 230v AC, Then you need an inverter.

    If you have a tv that has a 12 input, or that has an external AC/DC adaptor that outputs 12v, then yes you can run directly from leisure battery.
    You don’t necessarily need a socket, but they are available.

    Most tvs are low voltage dc these days. You can use a dc-dc regulated supply to power a lot of them. Some appliances will be sensitive to battery chargers so regulators are best practice.

    Can you advise of a good regulator for this please?

    I am not using one but have got away with it so far however it it was not too expensive I would fit one.
