Will a TV set bought in Europe work in New Zealand? What parameters
should I compare to establish if the TV set bought in Europe will work
in New Zeland?


** Europe is has many broadcast TV standards in use - it ALL depends on
which country. Your IP address indicates you are posting from Sweden,
which does appear to use the same ( analogue) signal standards as NZ.

However, NZ uses the VHF band from 44 MHz to 238 MHz ( gap from 68 to
174 ) to provide 12 ( analogue) TV channels while many European TVs have
tuners that are UHF only.

See: http://www.videouniversity.com/standard.htm

NZ presently has no free to air *digital* TV signals, but will likely have
them in the next year or two. Then the TV set only has to accept a PAL video
signal from a digital STB in one of the common formats ie, composite,
S-Video or Component Video.)
