Will my Samsung LED TV read NTSC?

[Juan TS]

Hello!

I live in Portugal and I own a Samsung LED TV series 8 (UE40B8000WW), and I have a Nintendo Gamecube that I bought in the USA some years ago, which I loved to use! But never played with it anymore like for 5 years! Then I changed tv and here I am, so my question is:

Before I buy a power adapter, will my TV read the NTSC image from the Gamecube? Or my tv is PAL-only ? I can't find it anywhere!

Thanks,
Juan

What exact model do you have?
Anyway, even my 1995 CRT TV set could read NTSC signals, but they were translated via a very good VCR, though with LCD technology, displaying NTSC video shouldn't be a problem.

Of the gamecube? What I can only find is:

Or of the TV?

Have you tried watching DVDs from the USA. They're are encode in NTSC.

I think its not likely you'll be able to use it.

If you purchased the TV in the USA it is most likely NTSC, which is the standard in the USA.
I know I have hacked dvd players to read PAL dvds.

No, my TV is from Europe! But I don't know if this Samsung LED tv model is able to read both, NTSC and PAL, so thats my question.

I think you would need something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Video-System-...ZMKY/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1317467498&sr=8-6

Otherwise, I'd think you'd get a black and white image or have the wrong colors or something. It won't work natively.
