The great Kitchen Freeview LCD Hunt

Right, that's it - enough messing about. I keep missing all the offers written about here, like the Acoustic Solutions 19" freeview for 129.99 or even the sony at 129.99 at sainsburys (but that was 4:3 so not that bothered). Enough is enough.
Over the weeks i've refined my requirements to:
  • 15"/17" widescreen - would prefer 17" but probably unrealistic.
  • Reliable manufacturer
  • Integrated freeview
  • Wall-mountable
  • PC input.
  • Cost - no more than £149.99
Can it be done? Obviously it could if I bought a Vistron from ebuyer for 119.99, but could the extra £30 buy me a quality make?
Where are all the deals? :confused:
My goal is to purchase in the next 2 weeks. I will report back on progress ;)

    OK, first up we have the Strato LCD at John Lewis
    It satisfies all the criteria apart from being a known and trusted brand.
    Now, somewhere on this board I read that if you buy cheap - you buy twice!
    Well, with a 5 year guarantee this won't be the case if it's a reliability problem.
    So that leaves us with the potential issue of it having an absolutely rubbish picture and sound quality. Anyone any feedback on these?

    The search is over - I found one of those Acoustic Solutions 19" TVs for £129.99 - v impressed for the money - now the question is do i pay £34.99 for 3 year replacement cover (you get the same value product replaced at Argos, no repairs needed etc)? That would bring the price to £164.99. Hmmm....
