The TV might have a panel on the back where you can adjust the voltage that it works on. If not, you need a step-down transformer to convert 240 v to 120 v for the television, and it must be rated at the amount of power the TV takes, which could be 100-200 watts.
Homes in Canada use Type A and Type B socket outlets and plugs for general electrical appliances such as kettles, televisions, hair dryers, table lamps, etc.For photos see the Related Links and also the answers to the Related Questions shown below.Some further informationHomes in Canada use 240/120 volts at 60 cycles per second (60Hz) single phase. It is a split-phase system that delivers 240 volts to large domestic appliances (e.g. washing machines, dryers, air-conditioners, etc.) and 120 volts to lights and general socket outlets used for small appliances (coffee machines, electric shavers, televisions, etc.).
You can power multiple household appliances with 2000 watts of electricity, such as a refrigerator, microwave, TV, and some lights simultaneously. However, the exact number of devices you can power depends on their individual power consumption. It is important to not exceed the wattage capacity to prevent overloading the circuit.
It's 120 watts for most things that have a power factor of 1, but some things have a power factor less than 1, so more current is needed. CFL lights have a power factor of about 0.6, TVs have a power factor about 0.8, for computers it's 0.6-0.7. These things don't use a lot of current so it does not matter too much. If the power factor is less than 1, the power is the voltage times the current times the power factor. <<>> The formula you are looking for is W = Amps x Volts. Transposed Amps = Watts/Volts.
The power company uses a single transformer outside your home to reduce the voltage from the transmission line voltage down to the 240/120 volts that you can use when you plug in your appliances. The power company is trying to be responsible with their money when they put that transformer out there, so they use a transformer that can provide both 240 Volts and 120 Volts, at the same time. To do that, the output of the transformer is divided into two halves; one half provides 120 Volts, and the other half provides 120 Volts, with a "common" or "center tap" in the center of the 240 Volt transformer winding. It isn't a coincidence that your 240 volt plug that operates the electric range or electric dryer is twice the voltage of the 120 volt plug that operates your TV. By using half of the output from the transformer to provide your 120 Volt service, you are technically using the center tap/Common wire as one of the current carriers for the circuit. In theory, the common wire should be identical to the ground wire, but because real life isn't quite the same as the theoretic, it is necessary to treat them differently. In some VERY OLD neighborhoods there were no 240 volt transformers, and as such, no neutral/common wire.
This is a highly unlikely scenario due to the fact that 120 volt and 240 volt receptacles have different pin configurations. The TV 120 volt plug end (cap) would have to be cut off and then a 240 volt cap put in its place. The money spent just to ruin a TV seem a little out of place.

It means there are problems because one machine or program doesn't work well with another one. In Australia, a wall socket has 240 volts; US televisions need 120 volts. How's that for a "compatibility issue"? Consider means you have to think about it, otherwise your TV is junk.
It would probably not work on 150 volts. Many televisions can be adjusted to work on 230 v (Europe) or 120 v (USA).
No. Australia's electricity supply is 230 volts at 50Hz... america's is 120 volts at 60Hz.
Depends entirely on what the TV is made for. Most run on mains voltage - whatever that is where you live, but probably either around 120 VAC or 240 VAC. But some are made for caravans, RVs, cars and trucks, and can run on either 12VDC or 24VDC.
FIRST and most important - Ireland works on 240 VOLTS, not 110 volts as in USA, so there would be an expensive explosion if the TV does not have voltage switch for 240 volts. America works on the NTSC system, most of Europe including Ireland on the PAL system, so your TV would have to be compatible with PAL. All in all, probably best to buy TV in Ireland.
In the United States 120 volts at 60 cycles.
Has 3x HDMI inputs, 120 Hz refresh rate (no ghosting), multi-system, 120-240 V

Your TV is running 120 V AC (Alternating Current) 80 D batteries will give you 120V DC (Direct Current) So the answer is NO.
It depends on what you are referring, to such as a DVD player or video or televsion. In terms of the machines, Ireland works on 240 VOLTS, not 110 volts as in USA, so there would be a major problem on the TV/DVD player if it does not have voltage switch for 240 volts. America works on the NTSC system, most of Europe including Ireland on the PAL system, so your TV would have to be compatible with PAL. So would videos and DVDs that you would want to play.
A standard 60 Hz TV cannot be increased to 120 or 240 Hz due to limitations with the equipment. These higher refresh rate televisions are specifically built this way from the factory and offer no upgrade options for older models.
