I'm trying to power my 24" TV which is set up in a spot far from any electrical outlets. I don't want to run long extension cords around the room. Is it feasible to use a battery pack for this? If so, what kind of power bank or battery pack do you recommend in terms of brand, capacity, and model?

Honestly, if you can find a way to move your TV closer to an outlet, that would be the easiest option. It avoids all the complications of trying to run it on a battery pack.

Using a portable battery pack for your TV is tricky because the regular power banks just don't deliver enough power for that. Instead, look for a power station, which can handle the wattage better. For example, a smaller Jackery or Anker model that provides around 288 watt-hours should work with your TV, assuming it draws about 65 watts. Just remember, you're not going to get super long usage times—maybe around 4 to 5 hours at best.

What you're really looking for is a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). These can run for about 12 hours, but you’re looking at around $100 at the minimum. Just keep in mind, you'd likely need multiple units if you want continuous power.

You'd need a battery with a 120V outlet since that’s the standard for TVs. These types of battery backups do exist, but they are more expensive, starting at around $200 and won’t last very long. It's crucial to check the wattage your TV requires before making a decision.

Yes, you can use a battery, but you’d want one that has sufficient watt-hours to handle your TV. Check how many watts your TV needs, and then multiply that by about 10 to get a battery that can run it comfortably. Something like 300-500 watt-hours should work, though it might get pricey.
