Best place to look for cheap tv??

Looking for a small (up to 19") tv with freeview for my parents, only want something really simple to make it easier for them rather than using a digibox.

I have seen an Alba one in Argos for £90, or a refurbished Matsui for £75 on Currys website.

Are these the cheapest I would be looking at, or are there any online stores that do any good deals?

Thanks for your help

    Personally, I wouldn't consider "second rate" makes like Alba, Bush, Matsui, etc. For a little bit more you should be able to get a Sony, LG, Samsung, Philips or Pioneer for under £100.

    If you can get to a Richer Sounds, they have Samsungs that start at £99, though I appreciate that you're really after something online...
