Chances of this Sony CRT doing NTSC and PAL-60?

[Jimbo Mahoney]

Hey guys,

After looking at getting something like a Hyundai A321, I've decided not to go with HD for three reasons:

1) Cost - I can't really afford £500 - £600.

2) Usage - I will only be using the TV for DVDs and consoles, and the consoles are not going to like HD LCDs or vice versa...

3) I'm still a die-hard CRT fan.

So, looking at 2nd hand or end-of-line CRTs, I've spotted this one:

Sony 28HX15U

My concern is will it cope with an NTSC signal from my Jap Gamecube and a PAL-60 signal from my modded SNES? I would hope so, being a good brand and a relatively new set. (Google doesn't help )

Many thanks for any advice.

Just tried to find the User Guide on the Sony website, but to no avail.

Looked at a similar model, and it says it can do PAL and NTSC, and found a DVD website that said that 75% of European TVs can do NTSC and 99% can do PAL-60 so fingers crossed...
