portable tv question

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

There are three type of screen formats the two most popular at NTSC (used in North America, most assoiated with USA) and PAL (the rest of the world).

Most likely if you have the bock or it still has a back sticker it should sy somewhere that it is a NTSC or PAL format screen.

Canadians use NTSC, so it would work up there.

slams head against the ground you other canadians dont deserev to have the mapple leaf on your back pack.... you suck!

see north america has the same trade reagions with electronics. so the Ntsc region was developed for brodcast use. also our power is the same as the states.. and tons of other crap and is difrent than that of europe and asia. so if you buy any thing thats demestocated for us use it will work in our great country.

Is Ontario a city in Canada, well I believe so, so yes it will work. Now that we have this resolved lest try to move on.

Sorry bout saying its a city I only live near Canada, details dont consern me too mcuh (I havent been ther in years).
