    I wanted to ask if a TV bought in the United States will be able to receive in Poland ?. What image broadcasting system is used in the USA?

    They use the NTSC system (like in Japan) and it is not compatible with our TV programs. The only thing that can work from other sources is a VCR, etc. As some allow it. So I do not recommend it.

    In addition to what the predecessor wrote, there is 110V on the i60Hz network.
    The conversion is probably unprofitable.

    Greetings!

    Check if it is possible to receive PAL by seeing if the circle of the color decoder is 4.433619MHz quartz or that frequency times two. If so, this receiver can be used.

    in TV from the USA there is sometimes such a problem "programmed raster of channels" (no smooth tuning and tuning) of course different than in Europe

    If that's not multisystem it's a remake for sure not profitable.

    Buying a 110 to 220V transformer with a power of about 200 watts due to the high current during degaussing the cathode ray tube is neither expensive nor profitable, but very simple. And the frequency is nothing to worry about.

    In the US, of course, you can buy a TV that will work in Poland.
    You have to search a lot to find a MULTISTANDARD, also adapted to the supply voltage of 120-240V, 50 / 60Hz.
    It won't be cheap.
    99.9% of televisions used there, powered from 120V / 60Hz, can only receive the local NTSC system,
    so different from the European PAL that reworking it is absolutely unprofitable.

    Questions about American TV sets, VCRs, cameras appear on Elektroda probably several times a month
    and somehow no one boasted that he was successful in the conversion.

    Convert from 120 to 230V only what for? .
    And so, at best, when you try to receive our television, you will see only some programs, in addition black and white, blurry, probably jumping without vertical sync, with noise instead of audio.
    If someone has an American camera, video or DVD complete with it, let them transform their power supply.
    European television, 99.9% of PAL camera recordings will not be seen on an American TV set.

    modification of equipment that is powered from the mains with a voltage of 110V 60Hz to 230V does not only involve replacing the plug ..., it is about changing the parameters of the converter or adjusting the voltage to the 110V standard,

    anyway, why bring heavy equipment to Poland that is not always cheaper than available in the country? just because it will be of "states" ... :D
    I would let it go, even if I had it for free, I would prefer something else, lighter and more valuable ...

    he thought a little sick ...

    honorable Luke ,
    Apart from the fact that the American TV set will not receive the local TV, maybe you would indicate what kind of Allegro "adapter" for 20 zlotys will allow you to connect such a device to the 230V AC mains.
    For a link to the auction, or if no one is currently selling, for a description-parameters of such an invention, please ....

    this shit .. it can not stand even on the average tower when playing 70% ... and what to say on TV ...

    if you want to check, put something under it so that it doesn't stick to the floor when it melts ... :D

    Well, 44 zlotys is more than twice as much as "top 20 zlotys".
    A small TV set can "pull", because the proud 150W is for temporary work,
    in continuous operation with 50W max, because with a higher load the smoke will go.
    I was more afraid of the offer to buy for these PLN 20 boxes with the 1600W power written on the housing -
    such inventions, incorporating a triac circuitry inside, similar to an incandescent dimmer,
    they kill electronic devices very quickly.

    Hello.
    Alternatively, if you have a TV card in the computer and a CVBS output in the video card, it would definitely work. However, instead of these pizzas for PLN 40, I recommend a transformer somewhere weighing at least 3 kg. It should hold out
    best regards

    1. Various things can be done with an American TV set - a poor monitor, for example, as you write.
    Even if it does not have other sockets, except for the antenna one, you can add an NTSC modulator ... but what for?

    Jakuza asked:
    "Will a TV bought in the US work in Poland?"
    i got the answer that as a TV set (i.e. a device that receives the signal through the antenna socket and reproduces the image on the screen and the voice through the loudspeaker) 99.9% will not work.

    I would sum it up like this:
    It makes no sense to buy a TV in the USA to bring it to Poland, but found, received, etc. equipment, if it is not troublesome / expensive to transport, can be brought - if you are a hobbyist.

    2. Why should the transformer weigh more than 3 kg?
    And if the TV is 14 inches with a cathode ray tube, 50-70W or a small LCD with 5-15W, why does he need such a mare?
    You need to choose an autotransformer so that it can work continuously without the risk of fire, but why overdo it - it costs money.

Topic summary

Televisions purchased in the USA, which typically use the NTSC broadcasting system, are generally incompatible with the PAL system used in Poland. Users noted that while some devices like VCRs may work, standard American TVs will not receive local Polish channels effectively, often resulting in poor image quality. Additionally, the voltage difference (110V in the USA vs. 220V in Poland) complicates the use of American TVs without proper transformers. Multistandard TVs that can handle both NTSC and PAL formats are available but are rare and expensive. Modifications to American TVs for compatibility are often deemed unprofitable and impractical. Users suggested that if one must bring an American TV to Poland, it should be for non-broadcast purposes, such as using it as a monitor.
