Ok trying this again with full links...

I built a pi TV using an LED display in a display box using this power adapter for input

https://www.microcenter.com/product/485432/winbook-4-camera-12v-dc-5a-power-supply-for-cctv-security-systems

This allowed me the 12vdc and +2A required for the screen.

FILSHU 5.5 x 2.1 MM DC Power Jack Socket Threaded Female Mount Connector Adapter with 15CM 18AWG Cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08272H1SR/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_YZF5V42D2VXFT2FXSJ6D_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 - one of these to get the power into the box from the adapter and on to the terminal block below

OONO 16 Amp 2x12 Position Terminal Block Distribution Module for AC DC. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TBXQ7H6/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_FZ0QJ3VHG2Z27TF7VQAW_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 - I used this terminal block to split up the power between the display and the pi

This "tv" is running LibreElec, and has been working fine in the two years since I built it.

Also I guess if the power supply I listed isn't supplying the amperage you need, you could probably go with a big one, but I guess the main point I was trying to get across is that is absolutely doable!
