Can I bring my Plasma screen to the USA ?

I have a Pioneer Kuro Plasma 12 months old or so. Just got transferred to Seattle in the US. Can I bring my TV to the USA and will it work?

Three considerations.....

1. Mains electricity: US is 110v 60Hz, we are 220-240v 50Hz

2. Video standard here is PAL, it's NTSC in the US though premium screens tend to be multistandard.

3. Not sure about UHF/VHF frequencies or the increments in tuning.

Unless you get an unqualified 'bring it over and you'll be grand' recommendation, I'd say leave the set here and buy a new screen over there.

Analog TV has been mostly switched off in the US. They use a different digital standard to Europe (US ATSC vs EU DVB-T), so you're better off leaving your set at home or selling it.
