Do Canadian Electricals work in Australia
We know that we can obtain far more advanced and one third of the price TV,s Audio etc in Canada. However if we buy and have it shipped back is it going to work?
Anybody brought Canadian or US Tv,s etc over to Aus and did they work? Also looking at laptops, car CD,s.
Blame my husband for this question, he was quoted a whopping $13,000 for a TV yesterday here, that appears to be a very old model at treble the price of one on a Canadian Website and guess who will be in Canada in January.

US/Can TVs = NTSC
Australia = PAL
Also, the electrical voltages are different and the plugs are different.
