It seems to fit well on most Sony models, unless they are 
designed differently for the UK. The big difference is 
the noticeable flicker that you get with the slower 
refresh of PAL, 50hz compared to NTSC's 60hz. The effect is
a 25 frame per second image. The flicker is not too bad with 
NTSC but I have heard that it is much more pronounced on a 
PAL system. I understand that some video equipment in Europe
can switch between NTSC and PAL, is that true of the more 
recent models of televisions (TV screen)?

There is also a good review in the most recent issue of Stereo World, 
and I wrote a review of the system for the "soon-to-be-published"
next issue of Dalia Miller's "Inside 3-D"  :-).
