Well, I live in Australia where we have PAL.

HD TVs sold here will handle both PAL and NTSC inputs and, although our TV system is PAL, the movie companies have occasionally been releasing movies here on DVD in NTSC for years, so I suspect TVs sold here have been able to handle both PAL and NTSC for that kind of period.

Check what kind of signals your display can handle. You may not need to worry about PAL to NTSC conversion. It may not do a perfect job but if all you want to do is watch the occasional PAL DVD, your display may do quite well enough meet your needs.
