I don't consider these sets to be NTSC, they're still PAL - just using a different (simpler/cheaper?) approach.

The "real" UK NTSC TVs would be the experimental 405 line NTSC sets that were tested before they decided to go with a 625 line PAL system.

The KV-1800AS was the first Sony to be officially sold here and has a proper PAL decoder. When we got a eventually got an official KV-13??AS model it also had a proper PAL decoder.

It's really amazing that they can build Multi-standard color sets.
They seem to have been out for several years now. I have a few that can operate on NTSC-M&C, Secam and PAL.
I refer to my Samsung 15", as my Osama Ben-Laden set, as it looks just like his.
I bought on E-BAY and it was originally sold in Saudi-Arabia.
