Will my European 40" samsung LCD tv work in the United States


Will my European 40" samsung LCD tv work in the United States?
My wife and I bought an LCD tv overseas and we heard that it might not work in the U.S. Something about the refresh rate or something. We have a step up transformer. Anyone know?

Look for the words in the brochures: NTSC, ATSC. These denote the format of american televison. With out these then it's not universal. It will probably say PAL or SECAM. I know they make converters, but I don't know how well they work. Then there is the problem of how the converter will work with a cable box or the digital converter as well as the step up transformer. What a mess of wires to watch Good Morning America

NO ! unless you TV is Multi Systems. i don't think so.because all Multi SYSTEMS TV work Auto Voltage AC 100-260 V ( like all Laptop ).since you need steps up transformer ,is will be only 1 ) TV from Mose of EU countries is PAL systems.DVB tuner . 2 ) from Germany and Holland IS only DVB - T digital tuner . 3 ) from France is SCEAM systems and IPVP digital tuner. // is never work with USA ATSC digital Tuning systems ( non of EU countries use or going to swift to ATSC ) . even you cant work for AV playback ,source from USA DVD/VCR/PS3 video out are NTSC signals . .
