Will a TV purchased in NZ work in Australia?

Is it worth taking electrical equipment to Australia?

NZ TV can't get all programs in AU. If retuned you get nothing at all. The answer seems to be buy a separate tuner I am told. If you are happy with less programs don't retune it.

Hi Mary. Yes - Australia has the same voltage rating etc as New Zealand. All of our computer and stereo equipment, and appliances that we brought over from NZ work fine. Your TV might not be worth it though as HDTV capable TVs are pretty cheap over here (especially at JB Hi-Fi). We got a new 42" plasma from there for AUD$1,300 and you can get them cheaper than that now. Phones work well too - but you will need to get a different lead to the wall socket as the phone jacks are different here in Aussie.

We bought a 50" in melbourne for $2000 from Panasales, and got a FREE PS3 and portable DVD player - you wouldnt believe the electrical prices!!!
