    You said a budget one but didn't state how much so I've assumed less than £150, hope that's ok?

    My suggestion would be for you to consider this one. It's got a few reviews and generally the buyers seem happy with it. It also comes with a standard 3 year warranty.

    An alternative might be this slightly more expensive Toshiba.

    You've got it the wrong way around. :D

    What you need to find is a TV with built in freeview and a VGA connector to hook your PC up to.

    I think you'll find looking for those is far easier. A LCD TV is basically a PC monitor with a built in tuner.
