my local electrical shop has a samsung crt flat screen 21 " tv for £99 down from £140, Ok i know it is cheap and it isnt LCD plasma and its analogue tuning I have a freeview box but are samsung's crt 21" flat screen tvs any good? I dont have enough money to afford something posh unfortunatly.

well i bought it and it seems to be very nice indeed, the sound is acceptable, is a bit boomy at times and the plasticy grill vibrate but then I have a videologic digitheater for films which works v nicely with it.
£99 for a flat screen 21 inch crt sammy seems pretty good to me.

I guess Samsung have finally fixed the interference problem on the picture then?

I bought one of these CZ21M063N's back in September 2004 and it suffered from interference on the picture dotting about all over the place. Wasn't noticable on the analogue TV, as that is grainy anyway. It only showed-up when watching Freeview and DVD's on this TV, as the picture from those sources is digital and crystal clear.

So just to eliminate anything in our house causing the problem, I took it round to my grand parents house and plugged it into their NTL Digital box, the picture was exactly the same. The day after, contacted the company I bought it from, told them the situation, and they agreed to replace it and collect the old, got the new one a few days after and it had exactly the same fault.

Absolute rubbish. I also contacted Samsung for help, and they were absolutely hopeless and denied everything. I got the set collected and refunded.

I've got one of those. nice TV's

However, after about 2 years the picture went out of focus, so I just went out and brought a 28" for £150.

I only paid £70 for my 21" tho

I agree - they are very nice TV's, but the interference I was getting on the picture was just awful.
