Many TVs can handle both PAL and NTSC inputs. My Denon DVD player happily outputs either PAL or NTSC and my TV accepts both. Ditto for my PS3. The Denon's front panel display happily states that the output is 480 i or p for NTSC discs and 576 i or p for PAL depending on whether I let it do the de-interlacing. My display doesn't care.
Hell, I'm in Australia which is Region 4 with a PAL standard def TV system and some of the studios even release some Region 4 discs in NTSC. People don't look, they simply pop them in their players and the TV looks after it. Most people probably don't even know what they're doing and have never heard of PAL or NTSC. The studios could only get away with it if the TVs and displays were capable of handling both signals.
Check your display's manual and I suspect you'll find there is no problem.
