How do you spot the difference between PAL/NTSC SX-64?

As you can't hook up an SX-64 to a TV set without some hackery involved, how do you tell the difference between PAL/NTSC versions?

The NTSC unit has a 110 V PSU, and the PAL unit a 220 V PSU. Just check what's written on the back.

Visually though, the NTSC screen is taller, with a very small top/bottom border:

whereas the PAL screen has an about equal sized border all around:

Why can't you hook up an SX-64 to a TV? I'm not sure about the PAL version, but the NTSC version has a monitor output just like a regular C64.
