I am looking to buy a new TV for Christmas but can't seem to find one which suits. I quite like the Technika range at Tesco but I'm not sure if they are compatible to play media files.

Requirements are as follows:

- up to £250
- HDTV (think they are all HD these days)
- HDMI connectivity
- Between 20 to 27 inch
- USB connection which will allow me to play various avi files (downloaded movies and tv shows)

Any ideas?

The specs on this for example
http://www.tesco.com/direct/technika...skuId=209-3494
state:
"3 HDMI sockets, 1 SCART socket and 1 USB port. These enable you to connect your HD devices as well as view movies and pictures straight onto your TV and listen to your music in glorious stereo sound."
I would assume from that that it will play MP3 audio as well as .aviDivX video files. It may not handle .mkv video

The above is confirmed here

"It also surprises by offering not only PC connectivity but also playback of photo, music and video files from USB devices and its performance is superior to most ultra-cheap sets."

A bit more expensive than your £250 but not by much but worth a look. Can be bought for around £280
