Your plasma TV should be ok if it is not american but I beleive that american electrical items need some sort of converter.

Hmm on the other hand if it works in the UK it may already be converted

We were discussing fridges with a domestic appliance engineer because a neighbour was having problems with her brand new fridge-freezer. It seems that fridges are gassed differently in the UK. They need to be gassed for the tropics to be any good in Cyprus and the ones sold in the UK generally aren't. Apparently regassing is expensive and not worth doing. Now what the ones made in the States are like I don't know!
