    it costs plenty!

    Making TVs that fit one OR the other means that thay have to make TWO DIFFERENT TVs!

    Making a TV that has BOITH measn that hey prices goes up by several dollars.

    By making ONE set with a converte measn that they mae ONE TV, can get better prices on aprts, and thus sell the TV at a lower prices, and YOU get to chooose which pwoer to use.

    I'm sure they do but not for the North American market which is 110V only.

    Most electronics is now universal 90 to 240VAC 50/60Hz. Check the detail specs.
