19" LCD tv for bedroom?
Does anyone have any suggestions for :-
LCD tv With Freeview built in £200 or less Widescreen format preferably The tv is only for the bedroom so not looking for the top of the range particularly freeview built in isnt a necessity but more a 'would like to have' I can always buy a freeview box for £30 or whatever the going rate is

As the tv's only for the kids bedroom i'm ok about it not having HD - only prob is if ever they get a PS3 the bloke said it won't be compatible but if that ever happens i'll have their tv and just buy another one. |

Picture resolution is really good for this price. If it has to be £199 then Currys have loads of 19" lcd's on shelf for that price but contrast resolutions will be worse than LG. There are also 19" technica (own brand) at tesco's for £199, web has price of hd ready version at 199. As you were saying you'd consider a stb that would take you to £234 so I'd go for LG if I was you. Some reviews say sound is a bit tinny, but it'll be better than the £199 stuff I bet. I suppose its known name verses unknown cheapie, choice is yours. ![]() In new year I'll be getting LG for bedroom and a panasonic dvd/hd recorder for living room, providing santa brings me some cash! ![]() Happy Christmas everyone

![]() I suspect sales will throw up lots of bargains over next 2 weeks, its just a case of whether you can be bothered to face the crowds. |

Argos have a HD ready Samsung 19" Tv for £199. No freeview, but you can always buy a box pretty cheap.

Might be a little large for our bedroom
![]() but I like ya thinking.... http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...29%3D19.19.htm It doesn't have Freeview, but it is only £145 and is again HD Ready. You can buy Freeview from the same place for £15 http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...2Bfreeview.htm which is still only £160 which is still cheaper than some TV's with Freeview built in. |
