I've been trying to figure this out and I think I need advice from a clear head because I've spun myself into a confused mess about this...
I've got a 60Hz television plugged into a Europe socket (yes, the power is converted safely already through a step-down transformer). I've turned it on already and the menu for the tv looks fine. Shouldn't I have seen it looking weird because the wall socket can only supply 50Hz? Or am I understanding frequency wrong?
Thanks.

Well this is a bit of both because it's a CRT-HD television from about 5 years ago. It has component and HDMI inputs. It's not one of those "HD ready" things, it's actually full 720p HD. I don't want it to display a TV signal. I just want it to display my US gaming consoles and media players. For TV, I have another solution to get the signal from my SFR box and I'll hardly ever use it but it made my phone, internet and mobile cheaper to take it.

The specs imply it's not possible. But it could still work.
