Looks like your TV can only handle NTSC format instead of both PAL & NTSC formats like some do. So, may be one of your friend have a TV can display PAL format!

I believe many computer monitors support PAL, so if you could find a proper converter...

Check the remote control came with your TV, if there is a button for Setup then may be you can check to see display default settings for switching between PAL,NTSC or both formats.

To add to DigitalJunkie: you might also check the manual :)... notice that if it's written in about 200 languages (ok, exaggeration.. but at least 5 and has funky characters (aka Asian languages) then it's most likely PAL compatible.

To hook up a ps2 to a TV you need a special converter that I don't believe is sold in any retail stores. Here's something like what I'm talking about: http://www.micronica.com.au/catalog/gcombo/
