Need help choosing 15" LCD TV

I'm looking to buy a 15" LCD TV/DVD combi for my bedroom (to replace a 5/6 year-old 14" Daewoo TV/VCR combi).

I'd like to spend no more than £200 - if possible and I'd like a "decent" brand.

Would it be better to get a combi or buy the DVD player separately? I know combi's are a lot better value.

I've found these TVs/combi's. Are they any good?

Be very wary of combis (especially Phillips) as the DVD players inside will definitely develop a fault within a few months.

You're much better off with a £150 LCD TV - forget the brand since they're all the same - and a compact DVD player which sits underneath.

When the DVD player breaks you can just bin it, propping up the Chinese economy and helping to destroy the planet, but you won't have to bin the TV as well.

I like the look of this 15" Sony LCD.

It's just under £300 but it's got Freeview built-in.
