Besides the different power voltage - which can be fixed with a voltage transformator....would the NTSC / PAL make a conflict?

Can you controll the outsignal from the BS3 to be either NTSC or PAL? Or vice versa- can you control the BV4?

And the last and final question....what panel sits in a BV 4 type#: 8951 / item: 1895126? How old is this panel and would it work well with the BS3?

As you probably figured out i'm thinking of buying a new BS3 to replace my existing BS1 and then buy a 2nd hand BV4 which in this case is from the states.....

 
BTW - why are new BV9 so much cheaper in the US than in Europe? about 30>40% cheaper......anyway to reconfigure a US version to European (voltage and the digital tuner?)


All the best

I believe the european BV9 has a HDDR included while the US ha snot. Also, european prices include 15 to 20% sales tax. The US price is without taxes. Lastly, the $ is in free fall compared to 6 month ago.

And one more word of warning. If you think about shipping a plasma from US to australia, if you do not transport them upright standing they will get damaged.
