A tecchy question. I've found exactly the model of TFT screen I need (matching the one I already have) - but it's in the USA. Apart from the mains voltage, are there any other things likely to prevent it working in the UK? eg PAL/NTSC etc.

All advice welcome

Is it a TV or a monitor?

Monitor. The mains adaptor on mine says 100-240V 50-60Hz so if his is the same that's good. Anything else that might trip me up?

I don't believe the PAL/NTSC thing is relevant to monitors - just TV's hence the question.

Should be fine (as stated above!)
