NTSC is the North American television standard for color encoding. India uses PAL, the British color encoding standard. The two are not compatible and to use an NTSC television with Indian signals will normally require a signal transcoder to convert the color information from one to the other.
Similarly, North American broadcasts are on a different frame rate to Indian. Changing the color encoding does not change the frame rate so it is not guaranteed that a color transcoder alone will do the job. To get a converter that changes both color and frame rate is expensive and it will almost always be less expensive to obtain a new television rather than ship a US model, convert signals and power supply as well as the tuner system.

How do you make a ntsc lcd tv to work in India?
India uses the PAL color standard, in line with the UK and most of Europe. NTSC is an incompatible color encoding system used across North America. As well as color encoding differences, NTSC televisions normally operate ar 60Hz while PAL models are designed to run at 50Hz field rate. Many modern televisions will handle both PAL and NTSC but the tuners are still likely to be different. It is best to assume that a North American television will not work in India. Standards converters can be used to convert a PAL signal to NTSC but they tend to be either poor quality or very expensive. Normally, it will be far cheaper to obtain a PAL TV intended to be used in India than try to convert signals. Even with converters, the tuner is still unlikely to work properly.

Does the pal Nintendo Wii work on a ntsc television?
No, an NTSC telelvision will not display PAL signals properly. However, many modern telelvisions are multi standard and will show either PAL or NTSC signals. In these cases, using a PAL DVD output, for example, will work but note that there are potential problems with broadcast signals. Far fewer telelvisions have tuners built in that will work in multiple countries, so even if you have a multi-standard telelvision, you also need to confirm that you have a tuner capable of receiving broadcast signals from other countries, if you are planning on watching broadcast television.
Will a Wii bought in the US work in the UK?
