I've seen a few posts on here regarding home cinema equipment etc, so I thought I might get some knowledgable response!

I've had an offer to buy a US spec plasma TV over here in the UK, I'm unsure as to the suitabillity of it.
First I'd obviously I'd need a 110V step down transformer.
I'd be getting the screen itself (i.e. no TV tuner part) so as far as I can tell, there'd be no problem with NTSC/PAL compatability issues is this right?
The last question I have is compatability with other devices - over here we usually use SCART sockets, but as far as I can tell the US use component inputs - what are these exactly?

Thanks for any advice/answers.

Cheers.
