I know of returning residents carrying in larger flat screen TV's still in the original packaging - and getting charged CRAZY Duty fees ... even though they had their Jamaican documentation, and proof it was for their own household use, yada yada.

I know of Americans carrying in Flat Screen that was only large enough to fit into their carry-on luggage - so not sure what size that would be??? not very big.

If I carry in another one, it would be one that could fit into my carry-on, I would not trust a larger one getting tossed about in my checked case.
if you brought one from the US it probably didn't work because the US standard is NTSC and most of the world (except Japan due to our occupation after WWII) uses PAL and I imagine since Jamaica was British it also uses the PAL format
