Hi all ..

I recently moved to Singapore and I brought all my appliances from the States including TV so does anyone of u guys knows if the adapter or the converter would work with it or do I really have to buy a new TV?? Any suggestion would be really appreciated!

Thanks
R.

Singapore power outlets supply electricity @ 220V AC 50Hz via UK standard 3 pin plugs.
Of course 110-220V step-up transformer will work but you'll then need one for every single appliance you have with you from the States.
You'll also need adapters for your plugs to fit the sockets.

some come with a transformer that can be used as 120 or 220 but the connections will not match.
