Using a US Flat screen in Europe

Hi,
Moving back to Europe, the folks are loading up a container with furniture and all sort of household items. Of course, the LCD/Plasma TVs are way cheaper here than in the old country and we would like to pack some up.

With the CRTs, the obvious problem was the NTSC/PAL differences in systems. However, I was under the impression if the internal tuner is bypassed via component, DVI, or HDMI input, that the TV should only act as a monitor?

But in the old country cable is analog, and we would need a PAL modulator that would convert a signal to input format acceptable to the TV.

Does anyone have experience trying to get something like this to work? I know that Panny sells professional plasmas/tvs, but they are kind of big for Europe.

Thanks!
