Need a transformer for the power but not too sure as US TV isn't as
good quality as the UK. The whole PAL/SECAM issue.

You will need to make sure you purchase a plasma television that has
PAL/NTSC compatibility. The UK uses a system called PAL whereas the
USA uses NTSC, although progress is being made with HD-TV (High
Definition) which could eliminate the differing formats but this is
likely to take many years yet!

If you buy a plasma TV that has this dual compatibility then the only
other issue will be the electrical differences in the UK/USA i.e, 240V
compared to 110V. With a power converter the tv should work, but again
it should be possible to buy a dual voltage plasma - but this is
likely to be more expensive.

I recommend this website
(http://www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com/index.html) and this page
particularly (http://www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com/bigfaq.html). It
should answer any questions you have.
