The region free DVD players are built for either NTSC TVs or PAL TVs. Considering the DVDs you bought are R1, I'm going to guess you're in America, meaning you need an NTSC all-region DVD player.
THe TVs you'd need aren't so much "Special" as just a different standard. However, all-region DVD players are able to play PAL, NTSC and SECAM. If the DVD player you bought is for PAL TVs, I doubt you'd be able to use it in America without both a power convertor (110v -> 120v) and a signal convertor (Pal -> NTSC).
Just make sure they specify which country to use it in.
