I know that most European TVs work in 50 hz, while most American/Japanese ones work in 60hz.

I've often tried to play imported games, from America and Japan, on consoles like my PS2 or my Wii, and I always have the problem that they either run too slow with audio-video synch issues, or only in black and white.

I was told that this is due to my old 50hz TV that isn't compatible with that kind of foreign software.
I know that the problem would probably be remedied if I buy a 60hz compatible TV, but unfortunately nobody in my area sells these anymore. The only other option I have, is to buy an HD-ready LCD TV.

Now my question is, would that kind of foreign stuff work on an LCD HD-ready TV? Or would it be 60hz incompatible again?

Thanks.

i'd say it almost certainly would work. but i dunno. honestly you could probably get a good, used CRT for really cheap, which would give you a better picture on SD consoles - a lot of people are just throwing them out these days, ask around. and use RGB SCART if you're not already, most (but not all) PAL TVs don't support NTSC properly through a composite connection.

the 50hz/60hz is irrelevent, that the power frequency. What is the deal is NTSC/PAL (see wikipedia) everything in th US+canada in NTFS, which everything else is PAL, these two are incompatible. To get around this you can use a computer tv-tuner card, which generally work with both, or you can use a PAL (international) TV.

notice: 50hz/60hz things is irrelevent here, japan is actually split down the middle with 50hzand 60hz and things work on both sides.
