Economical TV Shipping to India

If you plan to ship TV from USA to India, you need to review NTSC/PAL compatibility and voltage compatibility.

NTSC/PAL compatibility – Transmission in USA uses video standards called NTST whereas transmission in India support PAL frequency. Most of the TVs purchased after 2010 are international standards and support both NTCS and PAL frequency. You need to check the specifications on TV to see if they support both NTSC and PAL. If not, you will need to purchase an NTSC to PAL converter which you can purchase in USA.

Voltage Compatibility – All electronic devices use 110 volts in USA whereas it is 220 volts in India. If you connect a 110 volt device to a 220 volt power outlet, it may damage your device. If you are buying a new TV to ship to India, you should look for TV which supports 110 volts to 220 volts, so that it will work both in USA and India. If not, you can buy transformer that can convert 220 volts outlet to 110 volts and you can safely connect your TV to power outlet via transformer.
