Thanks for the reply post. I have selected a multi-system tv that can receive signals in multiple formats, including PAL. However, I cannot find an HDTV with dual voltage and multip system. So, I'm just nervous that running the multi system plasma tv through a transformer may not be good for the tv. TVs are about double the price in Australia so am hoping to get one here to save the cash but if it would be damaging then I will buy one there.
