Hi, in my experience 19 & 20" LCD TVs don't make good monitors due to their low resolution, although there are a few available that have the same resolution as a normal TFT monitor, one that would be suitable is this one http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/sound-and-vision/vision/tv/567474/prices.

Another idea would to buy a decent 19" TFT monitor & a USB freeview receiver, although that means having the PC on to watch tv.

Hope that helps
