The majority of UK televisions will now handle multiple standards. The UK colour standard is PAL while the US uses NTSC. Similarly, UK uses 50Hz field rates compared to 60Hz in the US. It is common for UK televisions to be able to handle 60Hz. Most will decode NTSC. It is important to check that NTSC and 60Hz broadcast frequencies are supported before buying. The only way to check is to read the manual or speak to the manufacturer. Sadly, most in store salesmen will not be able to answer the question and whatever the answer might be in store, it cannot be taken as gospel. Some warnings: A UK television taken to the US is unlikely to receive Broadcast Television. A television that handles NTSC will only play North American DVDs in conjunction with a DVD player that is not region coded. Finally, while almost the whole world uses either PAL or NTSC, France and a handful of other countries uses a colour encoding system called SECAM. Few televisions and video processors will handle SECAM so if the intention is to replay French content, selecting the right television may prove more challenging.
