Wanted: 22" TV with Built-in Freeview HD Tuner

Fruit_and_Nut_Case

Is it too much to ask? I've been browsing the web but I can't seem to find such a beast. Plenty of "HD Ready" and "Full HD" but they all seem to have just a Freeview SD tuner. Any suggestions? Please. Or am I doomed to buying a separate box?

There is not a lot of point of fitting an HD tuner to a TV with such a small display, at normal viewing distances the difference in picture quality would not be apparent. Smallest sets with and HD tuner seem to 32 inch, unless someone can find one.

Fair enough answer to my question. Unfortunately I wasn't specific enough. This is only HD Ready. Really looking for Full HD. As penrhyn implied, it may not seem a sensible combination but I'd like to see one in action to judge for myself.

If you go up size a bit there is a 24" Panasonic:

I think you'll be disappointed. Remember, with Freeview you'll only get four channels in HD anyway. Most of your viewing will therefore remain in standard definition.

Both the Sony 22" and the Panasonic 24" linked to on this thread have Freeview HD tuners, by the way.

That is why you MUST sit a lot closer to an HD TV than to an SD one.
The best HD picture I have ever seen was on a 14" Samsung !
I don't know why, but people just won't sit close to a TV to get the full benefit of HDTV (but they sit that close with their PC) - perhaps it was because their Mum told them that sitting too close would "damage their eyes"

Just to complete the loop...

I have just bought a Samsung UE22F5400 for a bedroom. The Freeview HD tuner is just the icing on the cake and its Smart TV capability was the main reason for the choice. Tesco Direct had a bank holiday £20 off offer which influenced my timing.
