in I wanna buy it or do it
We want to buy DD her first TV for her 13th birthday. My thinking is less wires and it can be easily wall mounted if we go for an all in one. OH thinks spend more on TV and use the spare DVD player we already have.

Any views recommendations. Don't want to spend more than £200.

Thanks

    I bought a Toshiba 15V330DB from Tescos today reduced to £159. Saw it in Comet (£229) and it had a superb picture. It has a digital tuner but no DVD player.

    When I was looking around I didn't find any TVs with built Freeview and DVD, just one or the other.

    You can get them but decent makes are pricey. Here is the cheapest I found in the smaller ones. Saw it today in Tesco. Picture quality was ok, not brilliant, but the DVD player looked flimsy.
