Hunt for a bedroom Widescreen LCD TV

Hello and a big happy new year to you all (my first post in 2007 :)) :beer:

I'm after a good widescreen LCD Television for my room so I went bargain hunting...

I went to currys and found a Samsung 19" for £260
Soon later, found a shop selling JVC 17" for £190
Then found a LG 17" for £180
And found a second hand with quite a few straches for Grundig 17" £150
Went to a shop in Birmingham and found a new Bush 17" for £125

Note all these screen are widescreen LCDs (flat screens) with PC input (so I can plug it straight into the PC if I ever want to).

Question is... which one shall I go for?
The Bush is clearly the cheapest but are Bush TV good or reliable?

I need your technical assistance here! :)
Many thanks in advance.

    dont buy from the highstreet scour the internet thats my advice, also the small LCD's are not as cheap as they should be, how about considering a 26" lcd tv, you can get an HD ready one from £275

    Would love a bigger LCD but unfortunately my room's not big enough. I will end up sitting way too close to a huge screen. Would the £125 Bush be the most sensible option in this case?
