Chosen Solution
I’m moving to the UK and wondering whether my TCL 55P607 might be secretly dual voltage. I understand it is common practice to label TVs as 110-120V only even though the power supply can actually take 110-240V. Before I open up the back and take a peek, I was hoping someone else would have an answer. I believe the part number is 08-PN2G10L-PW200AA but looking at the PCB photos online, I don’t see any indication one way or another. Any hints would be appreciated!
In case anyone is curious, with the help of another forum I was able to reach a high enough level of certainty to plug the TV into 240V and it turns out it is a universal PSU after all! For more details, see https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/…
Why not just contact TCL: https://www.tcl.com/us/en/products/home-… North America uses ATSC system (and only N.A.) and UK , Europe, Australia, New Zealand, etc. use DVB-T https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_… Different voltages and frequencies 110/120V 60Hz vs. 230V 50Hz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_elec… To add to it the UK uses Freeview which is built into their TV’s: https://www.freeview.co.uk/help/equipmen… Those adapters are only for the plug shape. For voltage you would need a heavy, fairly large transformer and then there are the different power frequencies of course Just sell or store your TV and buy one in the UK. Your TV is rated for 50/60 Hz on this site: https://www.displayspecifications.com/en…
Hello, for information, I left France (220V 50htz) to live in the Dominican Republic (110V 60htz) and sincerely I connected my TCL television to 110v without asking myself the question … It works, I confirm that the power supply are planned to operate at 110-240V … The problem of 50 or 60 htz is not serious if the power supply is of good quality or rather the capacitors of the power supply because they are the ones that can pose a problem !! ! I explain: the 60htz decreases the resistance of the capacitors so if they are of poor quality they may break faster than normal, but that’s it… For my part my TV has been working for 1 year without worries… :)
