Actually my TV is happy with either. I always had the notion that I wouldn't be able to play American videotapes, but then I tried it and it works fine. So if I don't want to bother with region codes, the other possibility is to buy films on video.Another argument for the regions is the differing formats for TV signals. (NTSC v.s. PAL.) It is a bogus argument as you can find DVD players that will convert the signal with little or no problem.
When I play region-1 DVDs, the player doesn't convert the signal. This would introduce a slight judder because of the differing frame rates. Instead the TV just acts like a multisync monitor, and adjusts to the signal it is given.
(My TV is a middle of the road model, not the cheapest but nowhere near the most expensive either.)
