Remarkably, the question isn't "will my DVD player play NTSC", it will output whatever signal is on the DVD. The question is whether your TV will accept NTSC signals and play them in colour. It's all to do with the different number of lines in the picture, PAL = 625, NTSC = 525. If it is a fairly modern TV it should be able to handle it, especially if it is a reasonable make. Hope this helps.
It happens here.Some tvs in my house we can watch it in b&w and others coloured.
