wow many thanks people! is any of these sets better than the others or are they all much of a muchness? I take it 'branded' tv's aren't available under say £300?

thanks again all

Hi,

If you want a branded 20" LCD TV, Amazon and Dixons online are doing the Sharp LC20SH1E for £244 inc. delivery. I don't think you'd find a branded 20" LCD TV for lower than that (i've been looking everywhere over the last few days).

Thanks again everyone - went into currys this avo and think a 20" will be too big for the kitchen so 15" or 17" any good offers on this size screen. Many thanks

Isn't it a bit of a "mug buy" at the moment as when it all goes digital in a coupole of years you will need a digi box ????

I'm after a smallish LCD to replace my ageing bedroom TV but I'm hanging on to get one with a built in freeview reciever to avoid the cables etc that will be required with a digi box, It just seems to be taking ages for a decent priced one to become available. There are a few about but I think soon more will become available.

I can highly recommend the Samsung 19" Tv in the above post - it has DVI and 1440x900 resolution which makes it HD Ready. I havnt used it as a PC monitor yet but as a TV with a small DVD player and SKY fed throught the ariel socket (RF Link) it works really well. Throw in a 3 year onsite support from Samsung (as said before as its a PC monitor as well it gets a good warranty) and you cannot lose ofr £250...

the samsung isn't in stock anywhere local to me unfort. Also any set I get must have a remote control are there any other 17" lcd's about for sensible money? thanks huggins
