Will my UK TV work in the US?

I have a LG TV (HD if that matters) and was curious to know if it will work in the States if the power cord is changed. Thanks!

I think that the answer is  - it might.

We too have a nice flatscreen LG purchased in the last 18 months and are getting ready to head back to the States.  Our electrical engineer friend confirmed that going from Uk to US electricity is no biggie since our TV is clearly marked that it is compatible with 100-240V (check the backside of the TV for the silver label).  So step one might be checking for that. 

I think that the trickier bit is reception.  I don't think that over-the-air broadcast signals will work, and a cable hookup might require some kind of converter (and I know nothing about satellite TV). DVD and newer game consoles should be fine to plug in without issues, though.  For example, we brought our US Wii to the UK and have no problems with running it on our UK TV and didn't have to buy new connection cables. 

Happy to hear any other info, though!

Providing there's no issue with the electrics then hooking up shouldn't be an issue if it's got HDMI input, although scarts are a different matter as I don't thinking they use that in the US

You're correct, TykeMan; SCART connections aren't used in the US.  Littlecakes, as exjerseygirl says it might work and it might not.  If it's a flat screen LCD or plasma and it's fairly new, it has a better chance than if it's a 10 year old CRT (big, heavy).  If you can post the model number of the TV we can probably give you a more specific answer.

For scart leads you can get an adaptor the does scart to composite (the yellow, red, white cords) and vice versa. This will get rid of the problem not having enough plugs. I have this link of what you would be looking for in shops

Also, with a newer telly it should be fine by the way but you should check that your TV can use NTSC in the US, which is the type of colour encoding system, here in the UK we use Pal. I know on my in-laws in telly there is an option to use both.  Just something to check into. If you have used American electronic (game consoles, dvd players, etc) and it didn't turn to black and white or the picture didn't shrink it should be fine. Just check your manual.
