There are provided a television set and a desktop display apparatus. The television set comprises a major structure configured to realize a display function, and further comprises: a power supply conversion means configured to convert AC mains into a DC voltage; a power supply allocation means disposed in the major structure and configured to convert the DC voltage output from the power supply conversion means into a DC operating voltage required by respective circuits in the major structure, wherein the power supply allocation means and the power supply conversion means are connected mutually and disposed separately. Since the major structure configured to realize the display function and the power supply conversion means configured to convert the AC mains into the DC voltage are disposed separately, electrical isolation of the DC voltage from the AC mains is realized, so that danger of electric shock of human body is avoided.
