Can you play PAL games on an NTSC console/TV?

Okay, the title of this post is actually the question.....

Nope, unless your TV is one of the newer ones that can support PAL, or one of the older ones that has a vertical hold adjustment.

I often have wondered this myself. Is there a way you can tell if your (newer) tv is compatible (BEFORE buying a pal cart and plugging it in? )
