RE: Not unless it has provision for NTSC.

As long as he's using an external source, everything should work. Assuming the TV has standard component/HDMI inputs.

I don't know if it matters if the TV is supplied with 50 or 60Hz AC, besides the voltage thing. Is it UL certified? Maybe it is a "universal" power model. Maybe it's a model made for "export" including the U.S.

I guess my comment is I would be *extremely* surprised if he couldn't have gotten a better price on the same/similar TV in the U.S. OTOH he might have got a great duty-free/miltary price and maybe the military even ship it for free...

Knowing my son's track record with "deals" I would not be surprised if he got screwed on the whole deal. I can only pray that he can get it shipped cheaply through the military, or this is going to be a disaster for him. Kids! What can I say?

  I have some of this going on and have developed a little bit of knowledge about it, though not expertise. Your son's tv is likely a PAL standard tv, though it could be a dual standard tv, i.e. NTSC and PAL. Those are available here, too, but you have to hunt for them.
  You can also purchase converters, too. How well they work with cable or the like, I have no idea. I have a relatively inexpensive Philips DVD player that plays PAL and NTSC out to our NTSC tv. Marantz DVD players until this year had the ability to play into a PAL or NTSC tv, so if he goes that route, he might be able to find a one year old Marantz that will convert for him.
  Good luck.
  Larry
