Andy, why not just use an upconverting region free player and just send the signal out to the television in a standard HD resolution that matches the HDTV's native resolution? Would seem to be the far more desirable option rather than buying lesser HDTV brands like Vizio's that just happen to support a PAL equivalent of our standard or extended definition resolutions. Would seem to be the best option all around to me. I have a backwards compatible UK Playstation 3, so I'm able to output DVD's from that region in 1080p which makes the entire NTSC/PAL issue a moot point (The same with PSOne and PS2 software from the region, which is the other half of the reason I got this to play some nice Euro exclusive games). I would think any region free player with upscaling capabilities would do similarly for DVD's and make it so it doesn't matter what your television does with a PAL signal since it's recieving an international standard HD resolution instead..
