So the question is, even though the manufacturer claims it "needs" 60Hz, will it still work on 50Hz or will it "fry"?
Obviously Samsung will not promise anything here, so I'm looking for someone with, preferably, personal experience from a similar situation.
Or... I'll have to admit defeat and sell the thing before we move...
Most electronics say 100-240v/50-60Hz. If it specifically says 60...then it is probably 60. You don't necessarily need plug adaptors -- when I moved to the UK from the USA 15 years ago, I just got new "power bricks" for most of my devices from the manufacturers. In a number of cases, I just wrote to them and they sent me them for free!
Nonetheless, I sold a LOT of electrical stuff when I moved. And as other posters noted, forget clocks -- they will run slow since they are based on the current alteration.
