LCD TV for £150-200

Options
Need a new telly. We do not care about brands and our only requirement is that it is 22 to 26 inches. Currys have a couple for £149.99 anyone got any recommendations? Does not need to be HD and I have no doubt that anything would be better than our current Durabrand CRT monster!

Which one would you pick from Currys?

    Tesco have a Digihome 22" Widescreen HD ready set with Freeview for £179.95 ish.
    Bought one myself some time ago, not too bad for the price.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Believe me you will care about brands when you get your £150 Hangwong home and fire it up to see a lovely washed out image, due to low contrast ratio, with the mother of all motion blur everytime anything moves.

    Spec wise, don't go for anything below 2000:1 contrast ratio and ideally a sub 10ms panel response time.
  • So I take it that it is not thesame as buying a CRT then?

    Would you not recommend buying an Asda one for example because of this?

    Go and have a look at it in action and see if you like it. If you're only willing to spend £200 max, then it doesn't sound as though you're exactly an audio-visual aficionado.

    I don't think the thought of owning a TV with a response time of more than 10ms is going to keep you awake at night.
