... decent, cheap LCD TV

Hi,

I've been looking for a while for one of these for the bedroom. Size-wise, I guess 19" (preferably w/s but not overly fussed). Might go for 17" but not w/s at that size.

A digital tuner would be a bonus. VESA wall mount capability a must. Resolution minimum 1024x768, and HDTV compatibility and a DVI input are wouldn't-be-nice-ifs.

The best I've seen for a decent one is about £250 (analogue tuner, 19", 4:3 aspect) but I'm hoping someone might have spied a better bargain?

Thanks for any help anybody can give...

    17" and 19" TVs will be suitable for use as a PC monitor.

    20" displays at this sort of price will only have a maximum of 800 x 600 (or 640 x 480 if you're unlucky) and so won't.

    I suspect (but am happy to be proved wrong) that to get a digital tuner and HDTV you'll be looking at a minimum of £500. That said, I can't get the 19" that you've described for less than £300 so I'd be interested in that.
