Geeks.com was so kind to send me the Dell w1700, a 17" widescreen multi-purpose monitor (by lack of a better term). It can serve as a television and a computer monitor at the same time, and the amount of connection possibilities is just scary. Read on for a review.

IIRC PAL is actually clocked at 50Hz interlaced (so is as if it was 25Hz - not all scanlines are drawn each cycle) and NTSC is something like 60Hz interlaced.
PAL has a higher resolution, but suffers from noticable flicker when compared to a US TV.
PAL is actually clocked at 60Hz (interlaced) in Brasil.
PAL I is used in the UK, PAL M moist of Europe. They are not compatible. The sound carrier is not the same and a PAL M broadcast will produce no sound on a PAL I TV.
