Re: ntsc to pal

Be careful, if it's an import it might have NTSC only. However that ony matters if you use CVBS or tuner inputs - if you drive through component it could be OK.

BUT, it has to sync at 50Hz (NTSC is 60Hz) - and might not. Also, even if you get a 60Hz signal instead to drive it, then you will get a lot of flicker with 50Hz lighting.

I suspect it's best to avoid.

If it really is very cheap, you have to ask why.

TG is always first in line for a bargain, but remember you generally get what you pay for.

As Hamster says, probably best to avoid.
