Will European TV work in the U.S.?

Posted by jim thomas on November 23, 2009 at 08:16:29:
My son is in the military, stationed in Italy. For reasons that escape me, he got the bright idea to buy a flat screen TV. He is going to ship it home when he deploys in a couple of weeks. My question is: will this TV work in the U.S.? I don't think the voltage will be a problem, as adapters are available, but I am wondering if European TVs operate on a different standard. Will this TV work in the U.S. for 1)broadcast 2)cable 3) DVD or 4)games?

As you can imagine, soldiers don't get paid much, and I am going to be sick if he has wasted his money. Thanks for any advice!
