Thank you and i hope you can help.
Unless your US TV is PAL compatable, you will need an NTSC to PAL converter which may or may not be obtainable here (you will need to ask in electronic shops). If you can't find it here, it's available in the US. You should be able to find out if your TV accepts PAL signals by looking in the owners manual (if you don't have one, check online and download it). If it is not PAL compatable, you will only get a B&W picture witout the converter.
The back of the TV should indicate the voltage requirement. I have an LG purchased in the US and it works on 100-250 voltage. If it is not, you will need a voltage step-down converter, which is easily avialable and should cost under QR100 (make sure that the capacity of the converter is above the wattage of your TV.
Good luck.
If your TV does not have a Voltage selector you need a transformer from 240 to 115 Volts. The color scheme here is PAL, it's NTSC in the US. Hopefully your TV has a menu which allows you to select the color type.
