It's nice having one of the region free players but one problem I've been
having is finding a decent multi-system television (ie pal/ntsc/secam).
Anyone know of any domestically available sets? I've noticed a few of the
places selling the all region players have sets but they tend to be on the
pricey side and besides, I would really like to see the picture before
purchasing one.
