If you are going to replace your tv with a multistandard one, seriously look at panasonic. They have produced ntsc/pal systems for years, and they work very well. So well, in fact, that it can be disconcerting - anything you plug in seems to immediately produce a good picture, to the point that you might not even realise it's ntsc playing on pal until you plug it into something else I'm not sure about secam compatibility, since I don't have anything that uses it.
