No, it will not. Europe generally uses the PAL system and the USA uses the NTSC and also digital formats. The two are completely incompatible, not to mention the differences in voltages available at the wall socket.

No, in Ireland we use PAL hardware for video output@50 hertz, American tv's use NTSC for video output@ 60 hertz. Both are incompatable and the voltages from mains plugs are also completely different in Ireland and America, the plug form an American tv wouldn't even fit in the socket.

There are several problems with using a North American television in Europe.

North America uses different television frame rate, color encoding, terrestrial tuners and mains voltage power supplies. The television may cope happily with the different frame rates and color systems and it may be able to handle the 230 volts found in Europe. The tuner is unlikely to work with European broadcasts.

Generally, the cost of televisions, even at the higher European prices, are low enough to make it easier and often cheaper to buy locally rather than ship from America.

HI,

Best thing to do is look up Japan's TV broadcast standards on the internet, and then the U.S. standards, comparing them side by side.

Cubby

Addition to Cubby's answer:

For standard definition televisions, Japan uses NTSC, just like the US. Both use 59.94Hz as specified in the NTSC standard. However, it is a slightly modified version of NTSC and brightness and contrast will be affected if you use US equipment with a Japanese signal and vice versa. Also, broadcast frequencies are different, cable interfaces are different so a US television may only be good for playback from DVD players and similar equipment.

HD televisions may or may not suffer the same brightness and contrast issues and broadcast interfaces may also be incompatible. Given sufficient time and enthusiasm, a US TV can be made to work in Japan, but it is doubtful if it wold be worth the effort.

None of them.

The U.S. and France use different TV transmission methods and different electrical voltages/frequencies.

What Size Flat Screen TV Should You Buy?

Many people make the mistake of buying a big screen TV without considering the most important factor in the buying decision. How far away from the screen will you be sitting when you watch your favorite programs? Obviously, your budget and the dimensions of your room will limit the size of the flat screen TV you select. As a general rule, the bigger the room and the greater the viewing distance you have, the bigger the screen should be. Where a 32 inch flat screen delivers a picture just as sharp as a 60 inch model, it would not be as easy to see if you were viewing it from 20 feet away as opposed to 10 feet or less.
