Will my Australian TV work in Singapore

Sturart - as mentioned, the majority of people have some form of cable so as long as you have the usual inputs you'll probably be fine. HTH, Mr. P

Pleaae can anyone help me. I have only just today been advised i am moving to Singapore in 1 months time. I currently live in Japan (Tokyo) and have a 50 inch Pioneer plasma, about 1 year old. Does anyone know will this work in Singapore?
I don't want to ship it to find out it will not work....

I'd sell it.

Singapore voltage is about 220 Volts, if I'm not mistaken.

Japan is 100-110V.

I've also found that in our particular flat, we get a lot of electricity spikes, so electronics have a much shorter life in Singapore compared with the same product used in Australia. With that in mind, is your warranty an international one?

Thanks Splatted appreicate your feedback. Yes Japan is 110-120 volts and so i was considering buying a transformer. However as you say if you get a lot of electricity spikes maybe i should just sell it.
Will just have to buy a new one in Singapore

Looking forward to getting there now.

Well, our particular HDB building seems to have a lot of spikes. I can't speak for everyone though.

Over the last 4 years, the main TV in lounge died, our bedroom TV died, my semi-new Compaq computer died 2 weeks ago during a thunderstorm. Prior to this, the mother board had been replaced under warranty 3 times, LCD monitor was replaced under warranty - twice.

Overall, we haven't had a great run.

If you do decide to bring it, perhaps investing in an uninterruptable power supply with built in surge protection wouldn't be a bad idea. Depends on what your tv is worth, I suppose.
