See if you can buy a PAL to NTSC converter, otherwise the TV will only work with NTSC game consoles. As Charles mentioned, US TVs are NTSC TVs and they don’t recognize PAL sources.

India uses a different (PAL) format tuner. You might find a replacement tuner circuit board from Samsung and have someone who works on TV's switch it out. If you don't feel like you can find someone you trust to open up your TV, you could buy an external "Set Top Box" type tuner designed for use as a external tuner on a "Monitor" (Screen with no internal tuner, only Video Inputs). The external tuner box would connect to one of the video inputs on your TV. Hope this helps, Charles The problem is the tuner in the USA purchased TV is a NTSC tuner.

If it is battery powered then it depends upon how often they want to change the batteries. If the LCD frames are connected to the mains, then yes.

]]> Comment on i have a westing house lcd tv i have sound but no picture? by Cornelius http://lcdpicture.com/blog/i-have-a-westing-house-lcd-tv-i-have-sound-but-no-picture/comment-page-1/#comment-818 Cornelius Mon, 04 Jul 2011 11:03:40 +0000 http://lcdpicture.com/blog/i-have-a-westing-house-lcd-tv-i-have-sound-but-no-picture/#comment-818 This is a common problem with Westinghouse LCD TVs! To help narrow down the problem, you need to know if the TV 'glows' when the picture is lost. Best way to tell is to turn off the TV in a darkened room. Then turn it on. If it is glowing, you will see it. If not, the screen will remain dark! If it does glow, the problem is the TCON board. Also known as the LCD controller board. It's what controls the pixels of a LCD TV and is located on the back of the TV on the top. It usually is covered by a heat shield. If it doesn't glow, the problem is the back light inverter boards. These control the back lights of the TV. And depending on the size of the TV, there should be two boards...one on each side of the TV in back. These usually have heat shields too! None of these boards are difficult to replace. It just takes some patience and a little technical know-how to remove a few wire connectors and screws! If you run your TV's model number on sites like Ebay, you should be able to find these boards. Note that it's best to have the numbers from the boards themselves when doing searches! Sometimes there are similar boards that are meant for different TVs! Example: Westinghouse 40" LCD(LTV-40w1)... TCON board(serial #400W2C4LTV0-1): This is a common problem with Westinghouse LCD TVs!
