US electricity is 110 V @ 60 Hz. I'd hazard a guess OZ leci is 220V @ 50 Hz. Some TV's have power supplies (like laptops) than will take the full span of voltage inputs. Most don't, though. There should be a plate on the back that so states. If your TV won't take it, you'll need a transformer.

The tuner in your OZ TV is most probably useless. The standard here is called ASTC. However, most people pick up their signal from cable or satellite so that's probably not so much of an issue. But you will definitely not be able to pick up over-the-air TV with an imported TV

Most new TVs don't seem to care whether you throw an NSTC or PAL picture at them.

Input for US TVs is generally HDMI or RCA connectors. Sometimes, there's an S-Video input. SCART is not used at all.

So....it'll probably need a transformer and it'll only act at best as a monitor.
