HDTV that's PAL and NTSC capable?

[s0mmieUK]

I have had two Samsung LCD HDTV's and neither could correctly handle NTSC.

My old set, a 32" LCD, would flicker wildly for anything between 5 seconds and a minute, before it would eventually settle and display an NTSC signal. I sold that a while ago and put the money toward a new 40" LCD set (still very much a budget set, I should add). This one displays NTSC almost correctly. Full screen, full colour, but the top third of the screen flickers from side to side. Not wildly, only a few pixels, but enough to notice, and enough to be distracting.

The problem persists even after a firmware update.

I would be interested to hear if all Samsungs have problems with NTSC or if I have just been unlucky. My depressingly limited budget will not allow for another set upgrade for at least a couple of years, but when the time comes I would prefer to get another Samsung, so hopefully not all of their sets have the same issues.
