1) I mean, older (CRT) TVs had to be PAL or NTSC in order to work properly in the EU and US respectively, because of the way they worked in order to produce the picture. Does that hold for LCD panels as well?
2) Also, do LCD TVs have an internal AC adapter (as far as I'm concerned, there's not an external one) and if so, what is the input voltage? 100-240 Volts?
I mean, if I get an LCD TV from the US (100V) will it work in the EU where the voltage standard is higher (240V)?
Answer
My lower end 32" Soyo LCD set displays both PAL and NTSC SD video signals, an has a PSU capable of 240V input (so the label says). Most sets use a world standard IEC connector, so you could just get a cord to match the outlets over there.
Higher end sets made specifically for the US market may vary, and be specifically NTSC only, and 120V only.
The only gotcha is OTA, which will not work with the TV broadcasts elsewhere, and a lot of European gear uses SCART connectors, which you can get adapters for.
That all said, I highly would recommend not buying a TV in the USA to take overseas. If you are stating in the USA for a while but moving soon, bring your notebook computer and get an ATSC/NTSC USB tuner dongle to watch TV, or find a way to borrow or rent a TV, and get a set made for Europe when you get there.
Likewise if you are spending a shorter time in Europe, bring your notebook computer, and get one of their PAL/DVB-T tuner cards.

Answer
No, the TV won't work. India uses a different electrical system than the US, so you'd have to get a voltage converter to go from the 220V/240V in India, to the 110V/120V that the US TV needs.
Second, India uses a different video system than the US. So even if you take care of the voltage problem, most AV equipment won't give you a picture on the TV anyways.
There are International model TVs that can handle either US or European(India) settings but they're only sold at specialty stores in the US.
