Help Looking for a cheap LCD TV

[Wazzerphuk]

Hola!

Advise me please ladies and gentlemen, for I am looking for a new tellything!

Criteria:
LCD HD Ready
Ideally under £200 (yes I know this won't get me anything of a large screen size)
Built-in freeview
Able to use as monitor if need be (either by s-video or other)
2+ scarts etc
Maybe with built in DVD player?

Admins, if this should go in techie then please move it and my apologies for wrong place.

Probably shite, but what about this:

Buy VENTURER PLV71178S7 | 17" lcd tv - Specification | Comet

Richer sounds had a lot of big brand cheapo lcd's over the past few months. They should have up to 22" for that price iirc, not sure you will get one with combined freeview though.

Instead of looking for a TV with monitor capabilities, look for a monitor with TV capabilities.

For £190 I found this...

LG M227WD 22" Monitor/TV Freeview 1920x1080 1000:1 300cd/m2 5ms 16:9 2xHDMI/VGA/DVI W/Mount Glossy Black - Ebuyer
22", Full HD, DVB-T tuner (Freeview), loads of connections.

If you've got £280, you can get this one...

dabs.com - Samsung T240HD 24" LCD TV (LS24TDDSUV/EN)
24", 1900x1200 (FullHD), DVB-T tuner (Freeview).

Wow, that is a really good find zenith (the LG one)

I actually got my LG screen 22" with built in freeview for £199 on OverClockers. Has 2x HDMI, 2x scart, composite etc Will look for the link on ebuyer as OC don't have it any more. -_-

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/149990 is my one
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/158705 the one I should have got

What's the picture quality on the one you have like?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Nevermind, I went out and bought the LG M227WD anyway from Richer Sounds. £189.95 + ~£20 for a 5 year warranty. Not set it up yet, will let you know what it's like. Looks bloody good for the price though.

 

[Overdriven]

Wazzer, it's actually quite good. Have used it at close range (pc gaming) and long range while I moved back home for summer as a secondary TV. Quality is quite nice once you've got all the colour etc sorted out (default is good though) I can't really complain. I like it.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Got it set up now and working with PC and the freeview stuff. It's pretty damned good. Not found any real flaws yet, looking light a right bargain!

Nice one!
Glad I could help.
