Hi, I’m moving to Europe and I was wondering if my fairly new TV set would work there (https://www.samsung.com/us/televisions-h...). Technical specs says it’s 110-120v & 50/60 hz so I’m guessing it would not work? If it does would it need a voltage transformer? Thanks
Hi sffixers If you are moving to europe which is using 230V, There are several options. The safest is to use a step down transformer, from 230V to 110VIf you are comfortable to open up the tv, check on the power board (Take note on the model no too), some will have a detailed information on it, hopefully can support universal, e.g. from 110V to 230V as input. (Hopefiully someone has more information on it.)
Hi, It most probably will not work correctly even if the power supply problem was overcome. If the TV was designed for and sold in the North American, South American and parts of the Asian markets it would be set up to receive and work with NTSC TV signals whereas most of Europe operates on the PAL TV system and to a lesser extent the SECAM system. Here’s a link that may be of some help.
