Will a TV purchased in the US work in Switzerland?

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.

How do you ship a plasma tv?

Shipping a plasmaThe best way to ship a plasma TV or any kind of high end electronic device is to ship it in a box that most closely resembles the object itself. For something like a plasma TV you will want a box similar to the one that HDTVs come in when you buy them from an electronics store. One specific thing you will want to do is pack it as tightly as possible. Styrofoam holders is best. You will definitely NOT want to use any kind of paper or packing peanuts as these can have a tendency to shred. When that happens, particles can get inside the TV and possibly damage it. If paper/peanuts is a must, make sure to seal the vents on the TV. Make sure that covering the vents won't affect the TV first. Calling the manufacturer or looking in the manual for shipping information may help. If you're not 100% sure of what you're doing, companies like UPS and Fedex will pack and ship it for you. You'll have to pay for whatever materials are used, but it will be done right because that's why UPS and Fedex are in the shipping business. You won't necessarily have to ship it from them if you find another carrier is cheaper, but they will package it for you regardless. One more thing: INSURE IT. Whether you sold it to someone on Ebay or sending it to a family member as a gift, insurance will cover it should it get damaged on the way. As expensive as plasmas are these days, it is definitely recommended.

Is it bad to unplug your plasma television every night?

Not at all. Leaving a television on uses a significant amount of power. Leaving it on standby uses far less power but it still draws a current. Unplugging a television stops it using any power at all. The main stress on a television is during power up, but that is seen when changing from standby to operating. Plugging a television in so it will go to standby is far less stressful to the power supply and will cause no noticeable reduction of performance.

Not only will you save money on electricity, unplugging a television will also reduce carbon emissions so it's good for the environment too.
