im looking for a LCD tele in between 17-28" which i can use for tele programs,consoles and pc. is there any out there which is both compatible in uk and canada, reason being i might move to canada dont know when but need tele as soon as possible. i know i can get a electricity converter for devices which are 220 and it converts to 110v which is used in canada. what about other stuff to look out for and where can i get it from. i went to curry and comet and they have no idea what im talking about.
any help will be appreciated.

    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.
