I'm sure this had been asked 1000 times..
« on: April 07, 2018, 07:05:50 AM »
Should I bring my 52" and 32" TV's to the UK from the US since I have room on my moving pallet?

Original black Xbox One?

Xbox One S?

PS3?

N64?

Laptops?

These are the only electrontrics we are considering bringing, and in my defense when I searched the forum for the answer it came up with answers from 2005-2003, so probably out of date.

Thank you, and again I'm sorry that this has probably been answered 1000 times.

Check the voltage inputs on all of them. Many modern devices are dual voltage. My son brought one of his gaming devices back knowing that the power supply was only 110 /120 but then bought a new power supply here for it. (Power supply here is 220/240)

Your TV’s will work with HDMI connections provided the voltage is correct.

Do you know what house/flat you'll be moving into? Flats and houses here tend to be tighter quarters than in the US.

In our old rented flat and in FIL's house, I don't think there'd be room for two TVs and multiple gaming consoles. Even in the bedrooms, there's just not space suited for a TV.

Obviously, if you really want them and can't live without them, you can find a way to make it work, but be prepared for the possibility of a tight squeeze.

On the laptop power adapters, look for something like "INPUT 100-240V @ 50-60 Hz". If you have that, they'll work in the UK. You'll either need to find adapters for the US plugs, or if the plug part is detachable from the adapter, you can probably find a UK plug that'll work.

Yep this. Our living room is the only one with TV space!

The coax connection is different too. We just bought a new TV (husband didn't have one) and I learned about freeview. It's basically the equivalent of the over the air signal in the US so you may need an adapter for that to be viewed on a US TV, or get a service provider.
