    Hi
    I actually thought all newish tv's can playback in both, I know in my Toshiba tv and my jvc lcd, I have the choice of pal/ntsc or auto and I just set it to auto, but I may be wrong.

    Hope this helps

    I think you'ld require it to have both a PAL and a NTSC tuner too.

    I'ld be surprised if the current crop of LCD TVs couldn't handle NTSC playback.
