Do not even consider the TV. All US tv's work with only NTSC signals. So your cable or DVD player that will output only PAL signals will give you no output on this TV. If you manage to buy a PAL to NTSC convertor, you will see a huge degradation of the signal and the TV output on 1080p will look like a china TV !

If you can get this product from Thailand/Bankok then it is a better deal, because Sony manufactures its LCD's in Thailand and hence the prices are better.
My 15 year old sony can accept both NTSC and PAL. are you sure?vinayaga said:

^ It is the 11th item in your search . But, even I would like some clarification regarding the NTSC/PAL thing. The item specifications on tigerdirect.com mention input signals as ATSC, QAM, and NTSC. Being a total noob in this regard and very, very interested in this would greatly appreciate if somebody could help. I would mostly be using it for DTH and Xtreamer.

earlier when in standard definition were common it was important as NTSE is 16:9 and pall is 4:3 (Horizontal res : 576 i guess ...do not remember)
but as you will be playing HD content ...no issues there, they will play without problems only, if you try to connect your cable/dth/ DVD(with PAL region code) it wont play. but no problems there as well, now that in india HD DTH services are being provided by AIrtel/DishTV/videocon/? all HD content will play.
but i am unsure if in say, dish tv HD i want to watch a channel that has not gone HD, will the reciever send it in PAL resolution or upscaled HD.
you might want to ask people who have DIsh HD/or any other HD srvice
for DVD if you play it with PS3/Xbox no problems there.

First of all, Tigerdirect is a very reputed company. No issues there with fakes.
As for your points, Yes and No ! NTSC and PAL have nothing to do with region codes, that is a separate problem altogether and is more specific to digital media (Like DVD's), not to TV.
HDMI is just a carrier and takes the signal as provided by the source and simply carries it in digital format. If the HD cable box or DVD player is sending a PAL frame rate and signal, it is carried in a digital format to the TV and the TV , if capable of showing that frame rate and signal displays the same. Any TV bought across India, Europe or middle east supports every conceivable format and code, the TV's in US are usually limited to the three NTSC signals.
If you try playing your Airtel HD cable box output on a US Sony cable, this is what you get : "Unsupported signal - please check video output".
I have had plenty of friends who have got Sony and Philips LCD's from the US and each one of them is struggling with them. All they use it for is downloaded movies and PS3 ! One person also got a PAL to NTSC converter, but the quality really sucks.

While I have the highest regards for anybody trying to help, it is important to note that you should not pass wrong information which will lead to the person putting in so much money and wasting it. 16:9 and 4:3 are the aspect ratios and have absolutely nothing to do with NTSC and PAL.

yeah 4:3 and 16:9 are aspect ratios, but i clearly mentioned the horisontal lines(aka vertical res.) to be 576 ( checked wikipedia it is 576 !!....i remember!) compaired to 480 of NTSEvinayaga said:
ie. 576i/p for pal and 480i/p for NTSE
THe fact is when standard definition was popular in the pal regions ( these are just region codes now as SD is now almost extinct in other countries), TVs came ther in 4:3 ratios, the conventional resolution. while in NTSE it was 16:9 form the start ).when HD came in 16:9 was popularised in PAL regions.
Wikipedia is lacking in information, it just give the no. of horizontal lines. not the vertical one ( well i wont call it lacking ...because horizontal scan is what counts in tv engg. , but it should atleast tell in PAL countries what reolution was used) here is the link you can understand it better
wikepedia article
you can get the as the no. of pixels is limited you can calculate the max horizontal res. ...its limited by technology
We had TV engineering in our sixth semister i know this.
her is a pic i remember from the book ( damn you made me draw it
