Is it possible to hook up a 110V TV to a 220V outlet via a power converter?

Using a power converter, it is quite possible to run a 110V television on a 220V supply. The converter ensures that the television will only see 110V.
However, the question implies that a television is being taken from one country to another. If that is the case, television signal standards vary throughout the world and RF tuners vary across the world. Although some televisions offer multi-standard operation, many do not. It is worth doing some extra research on the two countries in question before making a decision to ship a television anywhere.

The power-bar must be plugged into the correct voltage it was designed for.
Can you use a 220v outlet to plug a 110v electronic device into?
You cannot directly plug a 110v device into a 220v outlet. This can cause damage to the device or even create a safety hazard. You would need a voltage converter or transformer to safely convert the 220v outlet to the appropriate voltage for the 110v device.

Do not do this.
What is the power consumtion of a light bulb that is plugged into a 110v outlet and is drawing 0.727 amp or current?
Power is calculated from volts time amps. 110V x 0.727A is 79.97 watts. Note that power is not "consumed" but rather converted to other forms of energy such as light and heat.

If you have a computer which start with 110v so by using converter can the computer starts with 220v?
Yes. If the computer power input is only rated for 110V input, you can power it from 220V by using a voltage converter from 220V to 110V with appropriate wattage. Some computer power supplies also have a switch for setting 110V/220V in which case computer can be powered from 220V after changing the setting. Most of the portable computers/laptops have power adapters which are rated for universal voltage (e.g. my Dell laptop AC adapter is rated for 100-240V 50-60Hz).

What do you need to use an European hairdryer in USA?
A European hairdryer operates on 230V. US power is 110V. The hairdryer will need a high power converter that will be fairly expensive. (110V input to 240V output rated at about 800W) It will be less expensive to buy a new one at Walmart when you get to the US than it will be to buy a converter for the European one.
120V gas Kenmore dryer and the hook up location has the big 240V female receptacle--what is easiest solution thanks?
The easiest solution is to leave the 220V original outlet alone and plug the 110V dryer into a close 110V outlet, most likely the one for the washer. There should be nearby 110V outlets so you don't have to muck with rewiring the 220V outlet. A short heavy-duty extension cord is an option. I would also recommend killing the power to the old dryer outlet if it is unused. It cannot hurt. If you cannot plug the dryer into a nearby 110V outlet you can derate the 220V outlet down to a dedicated 110V outlet. This is not a task to be taken lightly if you are not experienced. If you do take this course of action yourself, buy a book. Do it right or don't do it at all. Negligence could kill someone.
