Hi
Sorry I'm not strong in electronics :) I have a question please :)

I want to use my Samsung Ru8000 (120V) in Europe (240V),
If I bougth 500 watts transformer it will be enough to make it work in europe ?

Behind the tv :

AC 110 - 120 V ~ 50 / 60 hz 200W
Typical power : 100w

Thank you very much!

A 500 W transformer is more than good enough to power a 200 W TV.

Are you sure you are not going to have problems with signal source compatibilities?

Signal source compatibilities ? I'm sorry but I did not understand :/ You mean that the converter is not enough to power my TV in Europe? Thank's

No I meant transmission standards. Historically, the US used NTSC, and Europe used SECAM. Don't know where are are from, and exactly what has become more or less compatible with the switch to digital, but it is something you might want to research.
