A good starting point would be Ferrit: TVs (http://www.ferrit.co.nz/42795.html)

Most older tvs don't work in NZ cos they work on a different 'pal' system or some such thing. whatever its called unless its a multiband one it wont work there.

Harvey Norman are competitively priced at the moment. They have a FullHD 42" LG LCD for $1400. I have it and it is terrific (I paid $1700 for it a few months back), especially in conjunction with our MySkyHDi box.

As mentioned above you may have issues with an old UK tv. In UK they use PAL I and here in NZ its PAL BG. You would get a picture but no sound if it does not support the BG version.

It may be worth bringing if you are shipping a container anyway. You can use a SKY box or DVD recorder for the sound.

Can't remember what we paid, but Harvey Norman are definitely open to negotiation on price, if you pay in cash / EFTPOS. :nice1

This is a pretty good little TV:

depends on what you wanna spend, the size you want, and whether you want a plasma or LCD

Why not buy a big CRT on trade me? - dead cheap and NZ houses are so much bigger the extra space won't matter!

Just for reference both myself and a colleague brought Panasonic recent TV's over and cannot get a picture or the sound!

Have you tried plugging them in... :exit

There is no reason at all why you wouldn't get a picture, the difference in standards is purely the sound. That said, some of the channels are on the VHF band so you may not be able to tune those in.

My hubby and I just bought this TV with plans to bring it over to NZ with us. He did a lot of research and is confident that this will work over there. We got it really cheap and figured it was worth a shot since electronics are considerable more expensive in NZ. I don't fully understand all the ins and outs of the technology, so here's hoping it works!!

Yes we both did, I still have a Panasonic in a box which I will also try but I really don't hold out much hope.

Hi PonyGirl, the specs don't show it as accepting any PAL standard signal, is this right? IF so I cannot see how this will work at all off an aerial. Of course if you intend to get Sky then it should be fine.

[Billy]

How much did you pay for the Sceptre? It would be interesting to know how much cheaper things are in the US.

Has anyone else have these models and have got them working okay in NZ?
Philips 37PFL5522D/05 and Philips 23PF4310? Thanks

We paid $700 for it brand new from a local store in Ohio. I asked my nubby about PAL and he said it isn't, but plans to use HDMI, which is universal, to get the signal through a VCR or DVD player. We will probably get SKY as well so as I understand it we should be good. I hope so!

[Elainep]

thanks IanW99! Looks like we'll be shipping them then:clap
