Are there any hdtvs that can switch between ntsc and pal internally?

With high-definition television, NTSC and PAL aren't really needed as specs anymore, since modern TV's connected with HDMI can display 24 to 30 frames per second at much higher resolutions. Analog broadcasts will soon be ending in most European and North American countries. What you want is a DVD player or VCR that can convert old NTSC or PAL format to allow you to watch them on one TV, hopefully by HDMI connection.
Note that in addition to the NTSC/PAL difference, DVDs are authored with region codes that only allow DVD players sold in certain countries to play the discs.

What is resolution of ntsc and s-video?
NTSC and S-video refer to different aspects of the television signal and neither defines the resolution. The three terms are often confused. A brief description of each is given below. NTSC is the standard used to encode color signals into a single signal. It is the standard adopted by North America and other parts of the world. The other major color standard is PAL, adopted by the UK and Europe and other countries. SECAM is a French system that is used in a very few countries. It is important to note that the standard refer only to the color encoding process and not the resolution of the image. All are strictly standard definition and never used for high definition signals. The encoded signal is known as composite video. S-video is based on the same color encoding standards mentioned above but uses two wires instead of the single composite signal. One wire carries intensity (or brightness) information and will show a black and white image if used by itself. The second wire is used for color information. The S-video interface gives the impression of a better signal quality because the intensity signal has a higher bandwidth than the intensity signal when encoded into a composite signal. Moving on to resolutions, North American television has a resolution of 640 pixels on each line with 480 lines making up a complete image. NTSC is wrongly used to refer to a 640 x 480 image running at 60Hz. European television runs at 50Hz and is made up of 576 lines. A slightly higher resolution is delivered at the expense of the the frame rate. Also wrongly, European resolutions are often referred to as PAL. It is worth pointing out that European signals can be encoded into an NTSC signal and North American signals into PAL. The original frequencies and resolutions are retained and only the color encoding changes. This technique has been used to allow a PAL only display to show North American material and NTSC displays to show European material. The technique is rarely used today as most dual standard displays are now true multi-standard and will handle either color encoding system. High definition television uses 720 line or 1080 line images. The same resolutions are used at both 50 and 60 Hz. PAL and NTSC encoding are not used in high definition broadcasting
What kind of cable is needed to connect VGA to RCA?
VGA, a computer video output, cannot be converted to a composite (1 video wire) or component video (3 video wires) signal with just a cable. VGA can be much higher resolution than composite video. You will need a scan converter box to create the NTSC video signal.
Can you make a US bought flat screen TV work in Europe?
No, it will not. Europe generally uses the PAL system and the USA uses the NTSC and also digital formats. The two are completely incompatible, not to mention the differences in voltages available at the wall socket.
Is there a way to connect HDMIi to RCA?
Most laptops are now equipped with a DisplayPort interface (or similar) which, with the correct adapter, may be connected to televisions with an HDMI or DVI interface. Older laptops may have an S-Video connection (analogue audio/video), or simply a DVI port. If your television has an S-Video port, you may use this for standard definition audio/video. Alternatively, using an adapter, the DVI port may be connected via the HDMI interface on a newer television. When using a DVI connection, you must provide an alternative connection for audio, as unlike HDMI, DVI does not carry audio. This can be problematic when using a DVI-to-HDMI adapter, as most consumer televisions provide no way to map separate audio and video sources to the same channels, or for mixing analogue and digital sources. Some televisions also include VGA connections, though they do not tend to provide high-definition output (despite VGA having more than adequate bandwidth) as they expect XGA standard input (1024x768). If a VGA interface is available on your television, there will normally be an audio jack interface for audio too. DVI-I ports on computer equipment provide piggy-backed analogue connectivity (unlike digital-only DVI-D interfaces) via a DVI-to-VGA adapter. To determine which type of interface is provided should be as simple as looking at the port. If the port includes a cross-shaped 'hole' (i.e- if it looks like [+::::::] ), it is usually DVI-I, though some cheaper graphics cards manufacturers have been known to use the DVI-I port on a DVI-D interface, possibly in order to trick consumers into buying an inferior product. If it is more like a hyphen ( [ - ::::::] ), it is definitely DVI-D and can only be connected to a digital interface (such as DVI or HDMI).

What is the difference between PAL and NTSC?
PAL and NTSC are color encoding formats. NTSC is the format used in North America and PAL is used in Europe. Most other countries use one or the other. NTSC is normally used at a frame rate of 29.97Hz with 480 lines used for the image while PAL is normally 25Hz and uses 576 lines. The frame rate and line count are actually independent of the color encoding format used so there are instances where US frame rates and line counts can be used with PAL color encoding and vice versa. PAL and NTSC are similar formats but not interchangeable. Many modern televisions will now handle PAL and NTSC but that is not always the case.
