LCD from USA - will it work with Tatasky, BigTV etc ?

kumareshwar · #1 4th October 2008, 11:44 PM

Hi,

Sorry if this is naive. I know that the Colour System we use India is PAL and that NTSC is used in the USA. I have a question. Will a TV imported from the USA with an NTSC Tuner work with Tatasky or Big TV in India?

I have Samsung LN 46A650 and Sony 46W400 under consideration. Both are USA models. Yes. I know they are sold in India too. But can I use them if I import from the USA?

Eswar.

Check the following link,

That should answer your question. If not, I am sure we can give you more clarifications.

Cheers

There are PAL-NTSC convertors available in the market (and especially in the USA). That should be useful. There will be some Televisions available in the US that support both PAL and NTSC. If you can get hold of one of them, nothing like it.

well why do u want to import from USA ,u can always buy it from the grey market or buy it from thailand one of the cheapest places in the world to buy lcds .for eg the sony KLV-40W400A which is priced little over 1lakh in india can be bought for around 58000 in thailand.

Hi all,

Thanks for the clarification and advice. Its only the price difference and lack of confidence in the grey market that makes me think of imprting from the US. Anyway, can soeone advise me on reliable grey market dealers at Hyderabad?

Thanks in advance.

Esar.

Grey Market in Bangalore is good only for China Mobiles and Mobile Pouches and memory cards etc. You do not find hi-fi stuff like LCD TV's etc. I have seen the Sony LCD TV in national market , but the price difference of only some 2k or so. So it is not worth the effort in getting it from grey market.

well it depends upon who u know in the grey market,and for small size lcds like 26inch and 32inch the price difference is small.but for 40inch lcd there a significant difference,when i had bought my 32inch lcd it was priced at 64990 in showroom where as i had bought it in the grey market for 46000.

Well I have to disagree with that , I saw Sony Bravia 46 inch lcds on sale for 46k at costco , USA . Boy was I itching to grab one ! But the Question is how the hell will u carry the huge thing from USA ???
