They have a shitload - depends on the market. Heck, I think their domestic market is PAL.

I have a 46" Samsung that is multi-system myself.

What's your location? You still in Germany?

Do you have PX privileges - AAFES Europe often gets Australian/Indonesian models in that are multi-system.

Here's one that size (not the 8000 series, though) available in the states - these guys will ship anywhere - but with something that big I'd be leery.

Yea I can use the PX but their prices are shit plus thier selection sucks.


That site says $88.60 to ship a 32" LED to my place (APO). They only have series 5 TVs so I emailed them to see if they can get UA32D6000 (Series 6).

They often have stuff that isn't on their website, so hopefully they can help you out.

I have been shopping with them for years - top notch service, and they have found quit a niche catering to people who need to transfer between regions - in a world where the mainstream assumes you never will.

Big problem with the TVs is, multi-system is usually a technology generation behind, and the price disparity increases with price. Our 46 inch Sony (which incidentally was not listed on their website) cost over a grand more than the identical NTSC-only model at Best Buy. What really sucks is, I just got word we will probably be in the States another 4 years.

I think I can avoid having the get a multisystem TV. The sell a PAL to NTSH converter that takes a coax PAL cable signal and has HDMI out.


Its $120. If that works I can get any fing samsung TV I want. Best buy had the one I want in stock when I visited the store today. Cool beans.


Will that thing work?

I know only enough to be dangerous and make stupid assumptions.

Call the store and talk to them in person - they are very knowledgeable on this stuff.
