Hong Kong is on 220v so you will need a step up - step down converter. The biggest problem is that Hong Kong is on the PAL system and the US is NTSC and this will probably make your TV unusable in Hong Kong.

Most electrical appliances, including tv's, are not operable in foreign countries without some adaptation. You will save money by selling the tv you now have and purchasing another in Hong Kong.

No, it isn't going to work. California tv is NTSC, and Hong Kong is PAL

It should work ok, most TV's can display NTSC and PAL format.
Only problem is that the voltage here is 240V 50Hz, and in the States its 110V 60Hz so you will need a step-up converter.

You will need to buy an adaptor/converter - spend a little more & get a good quality universal one. Available anywhere travel-related goods are sold, major department stores and good electrical retailers.

when you factor in the shipping, the cost of a good quality voltage converter, and the fact that it might still not work properly due to the different systems, you better get a new one in HK.
