[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 507697, member: 28452"] I think you may be in luck. Scanning the specification for the model number you quoted it will work on 100 - 240 volts. Look for a "rating plate" on the back of the TV which should confirm this. What I'm less sure about are any broadcast standard differences. Europe/UK use a colour system called PAL, USA use NTSC, but as these don't seem to appear in the TV specification it can possibly cope with either.

Mainland Europe uses 220 volts, (but call it 230), in UK we call ours 230 volts for commonality with Europe but actually it was historically 240 and very often still is in practice. [/QUOTE]
