this same model but 17 inch is available on the PC world website for under £150 - don't forget quico also..... can reserve and pick it up - shops around Newcastle upon tyne have these in stock

only downside is no scart sockets...

I bought one of these from pcw a couple of months ago, great little box. Got it wall mounted in the kitchen and hooked up to RF2 on my sky+

No scart isn't too much of an issue as it also has composite Red/White/Yellow inputs.

The only downside I found was that the speakers are a bit quiet. Managed to 'Macgyver' an old pair of PC speakers to the wall bracket I used though...

Any idea what the picture quality is like on one of these. Is it comparable with a standard LCD telly? Very tempted by this as I have been looking for a sub £200 19-20 inch LCD for our bedroom for some time.

Exactly the same, you could say it is a TV with optional computer input.

Note that this unit has an analogue tuner so only 4/5 tv
channels, still I have been tempted.

has component input to watch tv from a rgb source?

I was quite keen, but have been told that you cannot rig it up to a DVD player...

is this true?

I think they are wrong.
If your dvd has scart out you can get a scart plug in adaptor that will allow 3 cables to be attached to it..... red & white audio and Yellow video these then plug into the monitor.

I dont expect the monitor has a scart input and thats what they mean ,but a dvd can still be connected, your dvd probably has these as outputs anyway.
