I`m no expert but it sounds like your TV. I take it these are R1 DVD`s and the problem is your TV can`t handle the NTSC signal. Some one else will probably be around to correct me and send you in the right path.

The PS2 is a games console first and a DVD player 5th - don`t let anyone tell you different :-)

Why go to the expense of buying a new TV ? Personally, I`d be looking for a budget DVD player (eg Acoustic Solutions DVD321 from Richer Sounds for £60) that can convert NTSC into PAL for you, so you TV doesn`t have to.

Buying a new TV capable of handling raw NTSC for a fifth rate DVD player is certainly the wrong approach to take, mate :-)
