There are several issues with a North American television being used in Europe:
First, mains voltage is 230V in Europe and 110V in North America. Although some televisions accept either voltage, many don't.
Next, SD signals are significantly different. Color encoding, screen resolution and frame rates are all different. Once again, some televisions will handle both but not may of them. Even worse, it is very hard to get confirmation that a specific model will handle European signals.
Finally, signal transmissions differ between the continents so it is likely a separate tuner will be required.
Unless you have specifically obtained a multi-region television, the chances of it working without problems are fairly small. It is possible to buy additional equipment to overcome each of the issues, the cost and time involved will come close to the value of the television.

Does US PS3 work in Spain?
European television standards are different than those in the US, which could be a potential problem, as could the fact that mains voltages and plug styles vary from country to country. Finally, there's at least a possibility that game discs purchased in Europe may not work with a game system purchased in the US and vice versa. However, if you use a transformer/adaptor for power, and have a US system, games, and television to hook it up to... yes, that will work in Spain.
