hi ok heres my story. i Live in the UK and i bought a 15inch samsung tv. i bought it off an UK website. when it came it worked fine, i then hooked my playstation 2 up to it and put a region 2 dvd inside. the dvd film then played in black and white. it is not the playstation as i have used it as a dvd player before on many different tv's. so the fault is the tv the samsung. so i rang the shop where i bought it from and they said the tv may be a NTSC tv that has come from America that is why are tv's are so cheap. so i thought bloody hell couldnt you tell me that first! as you can imagine im well pissed of but i have seen a soloution but i need help of you guys. i have seen a NTSC to PAL converter but im wondering will it work and play my region 2 dvds in colour. here is the link for the converter. http://www.whitedog.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=124

I dont see why it wouldnt work, but the pixel aspect ratio is different on NTSC Televisions
than that of a PAL Tv. So it might add black bars to the left and right sides, or squeeze
the video (because PAL is taller 720 x 576 Pixels as opposed to Ntsc which uses a Pixel
aspect ratio of 720 x 480 pixels)


Picture of squashed video.
