This area is the closest thing I can think of that comes to my question; Basically all that I want to know is, can American electronics work with Japanese television sets? I guess what I mean by "American electronics" is video game consoles. The sole reason I would want to have a Japanese set is because they are capable of RGB (a high quality video standard) And I know that both N.America and Japan use the NTSC standard, so they would both be the same resolution) My logic is that the pinout on consoles such as the PS, SNES, and others have the same pinout in both regions, so I could simply buy the right connectors and hopefully it would work. Thoughts, opinions?

The connectors are standardized, i don't see why it wouldn't work. However, i really have no clue about TVs in the USA and whether you need a Japanese TV, but here in Europe (PAL standard) pretty much every half-decent set accepts RGB input through SCART.

US TVs can also do RBG input - or extended black level, whatever it's called - it's a setting on my 650 Samsung.

You need to be aware of the voltage and frequency differences in Japan. The west half of Japan utilizes 60 hz power, while the east half has 50 Hz. Additionally, residential voltages vary between 100-120 VAC.

The US, obviously, is 120 VAC, 60 Hz nationwide.

The bottom line is you should have no problems connecting American electronics to a Japanese TV. I've never heard of any problems, nor any differences between American and Japanese TVs. You might notice some differences in terminology (1080i is called 1125i, but they're actually the same), but nothing beneath the hood.

There are sometimes minor voltage and frequency differences, but I have to disagree with Kansas Beachboy: you don't need to be aware of them. Unless you're setting the timer on your rice cooker (which uses the power supply to measure time), pretty much all North American electronics work perfectly normal in Japan, and vice versa. Particularly with video game consoles (made to be sold in more than just one country), if you look even North American consoles are probably specifically built to run at the other Japanese frequency. Not that it would matter if it weren't.

^^^That's what I was thinking, but I just wanted to make sure the resolutions were the same. And actually, I would be more interested in buying a Japanese SD set, not HD. It's really hard to find American SD sets that have RGB capabilities but RGB is very common in Japan via the SCART look alike input.
