Sell.
Great excuse to buy a new tv, cost of shipping it you could buy a new one and voltage conversion can kill the tv.

Already sent our stuff back in December and was selling tv, but if i am sending more stuff i am now wanting to know IF i can take it?

Re: UK TV
I am looking into it as I have a Pioneer LX5090 I wanted to bring over - its just not worth it though with power inverter's, 50 / 60hz issues on top of shipping costs. Get the new Panasonic V series when they are realeased in a couple of months - has Pioneer Kuro technology built in.

Sell it.
You'll get new and better for the cost of shipping it and you'll have the hassle of getting a transformer for it most likely, that and warranty won't be covered.

Sell the European TV and get another in the US.
The only downside is that most US TVs can't accept 50hz standard video signals, so to watch UK DVDs, you'll need to find a DVD player that converts the output rate AND is multi region.
