It’s not just a power issue, it’s a broadcast standards issue.

The analog tuner is PAL, but the Philippines uses NTSC, just like in North America. So right there you’ve got an analog tuner problem.

The digital tuner is DVB-T, but the Philippines hasn’t settled on a standard, which means no one is broadcasting digitally.

So you’re probably in decent shape if you’re using the TV as a monitor for your VCR or DVD player or MagicSing karaoke system or cable/satellite box. Over the air TV is another issue.

I dont think it will work…Here is the site that told me why…the voltage, frequency, and socket type are all different…but they do have things you can by to plug in to the end of the plug of the tv that will work in the socket in the Philippines…scroll down to the first table and look at both countries voltage, frequency, and socket types.

Comment on What is the most important thing to look for when buying a new 32″ lcd tv? by uptownapparel

Well I am a seller on ebay and I have a few flat panels available. So if you will, go to ebay and click on COMMUNITIES at the top. Then, next to the “find a member” button, type in uptown_apparel and click the button. You will see that name at the top of their list and to the right of it click on “seller’s items”. There are 4 tv’s there that i am selling but the 32 inch is currently unavailable so maybe there’s something else there you like. click on the items for all the details. You can email me at about these items. Good luck!

You will need a voltage converter…. I don’t know what their power supply is like in the phillipines, but I live in japan and my stuff is all plugged into japanese power supplies and they work and don’t blow or anything. It’s all american stuff.

but i wouldn’t take the chance with the tv and definitely get a voltage converter when you get back to the phillipines

resolution and contrast are more important than brightness, and it’s best to go for high definition and digital ready models, but some of the more important things often aren’t listed in the specifications. Without getting too technical, there are different ways to light the screen from behind and different ways to display the image on the screen, and these can make a big difference in the sharpness of the image especially with fast moving subjects such as sport. If you’re on a budget don’t be tempted by cheep brands, hold out until you can get a good Philips or LG model in the sales, those two companies are really up to date with LCD technology and if you can get the models that are on sale now at a later date, and a lower price, you’ll have a much better, more reliable, and more future proof TV.

Comment on Can a 42in LCD TV be put up onto a plasterboard wall with hollow wall anchors? by the f

Absolutely not.
you need to strengthen the fixing point in the wall. Fitt a patress inside the wall by cutting a hole in the plasterboard and feeding a 50×25 batten into the void. Fill the hole when finished and make good the decoration

I did some research and opted for the Panasonic digital 26″. Got it from the COOP, £100 cheaper than ARGOS. [£599.99]
