Depends on your DVD player. If it can support the variety of formats (PAL, NTSC etc) then your North American TV will display everything just fine. Most of the DVD players today will support. Just confirm in your manual.
Assitionally you need a "all region" DVD player or the DVD disc has to be "all region".
See what that means here -

There are two reasons it will not play on most US DVD players: 1) The DVD will use PAL format, and very few US players will play that (unlike most European players that will play both PAL and NTSC). and 2) If it is a commercially produced disc, it may be region-encoded that will prevent it from being played on most US DVD players. You have to look at your DVD player specs to determine if it will play PAL. However, many computer DVD player software programs will play PAL and ignore region encoding.
