Can your UK bought LG TV work in the US if you only use it with a cable box?

It is quite possible that a UK or European television will operate in the US but there are several issues that may prevent it working. First, US mains voltage is 110V against the European standard of 230V. Check the television to ensure that it will operate at 110V Second, Europe uses PAL colour encoding and US uses NTSC. Many European models will handle NTSC but not all of them. If the television in question will support NTSC, the manual or the body of the television will likely have an NTSC logo somewhere. This applies only to standard definition television. Finally, US video content runs at 60Hz while European is at 50Hz. Many televisions will handle both frequencies but once again, it needs to be checked. This applies to both standard definition and high definition content. It is also important to consider shipping costs. It may cost more to get it to North America than a replacement will cost. Remember that US prices are typically 50% of UK prices so expect a

Also, be aware that there may be compatibility issues with some services such as teletext (UK) and closed captioning (US) - the two are not interchangeable.

Starting from an HDTV cable box using a split cable going to the pip output can you connect another tv to the pip output and get an HDTV picture on the other tv?
Hi, It really depends on your PIP output on the cable box and whether or not the output is HDTV or standard TV. And in some cases, the PIP output will only display non-HDTV channels, depending again, on the box and the cable company. However, IF the cable company says that a HDTV signal is available from the PIP output on the cable box, then it'll probably work. The only way to be sure is to connect a TV and find out. Hope this helps, Cubby
