TV that recognizes both PAL & NTSC?

OK. No p***ing yourself laughing at the back but is there such a thing?
Reason is I`m still in Canada for a few more months and would like to make use of the cheapness out here before I come back.

The vast majority of north American TVs do not support PAL.
Line voltage there is 110/120 volts, 60 Hz (versus Europe`s 220/230 volts, 50 Hz)

When I was in Canada with the Army, I bought a 29" flat screen Multi System from the Canadian cannex. It works perfectly well both in UK and Germany, although there is a slight problem with no scart sockets.

Yep Thats the 1. I used to live quite near the new Cannex. Rawalpindi Place. 2001-2003 (BATUS Workshop). In sunny Gutersloh now. The only slight problem I had, that I couldn`t find an answer to, was that my Sky system when plugged into 1 of the RGB connections the colours used to flicker slightly, I then used the other RGB connection and that cured the problem.
