    Why does the TV have an American power plug? Are you sure it's able to handle 220V AC?

    I have a Phillips 8000 series LCD TV, bought in 2009, the spec, sheet says 220-240V, that would suggest that if your TV has an American plug that it's probably 110V only. TVs aren't like mobile phone chargers, they are not typically manufactured to handle different mains voltages.

    Where did you buy the TV?

    Probably a European 2 pin plug rather than american?

    I'd be inclined to agree, he probably bought it from Pixmania.

    OP, is the plug one of the first two types below? US Plug is a pair of flat pins, usually with holes in them, continental plug has two round pins.

    If you have the continental plug, just snip it off and fit a UK three pin plug. If you have an American plug you're probably in trouble as it's unlikely the TV can handle the 220V supply we have here. TVs tend not to be multivoltage like mobile phone chargers and electric razors.
