I want to get a new LCD TV for my kitchen. Because of the location I want it to have a gloss style panel so that it will be easy to clean from splatters and general kitchen grease etc. This is important for me and the reason why I would like your advice.

I have looked online and it is impossible to tell whether the LCD TVs on the sites are a gloss or matt style and it seems that the only way to see one is in Currys or Comet. (it would be cheaper to buy online though)

I would like it to have Freeview and maybe a DVD built in. A 17" would be ideal but I don't think they exist so therefore a 15" (without a DVD) or 19" with one built in would be nice. (This is due to the height restriction of the only place I can put it in the kitchen).

Does anyone know of a good TV that meets my spec?

I have seen a Hitachi 15" (exclusive to Currys) with Freeview but no DVD and a Proline 15" with Freeview and DVD (Comet's own make but I am unsure about the quality).

Ideally I would like a reputable make.

I think you'll be hard pushed to find one, tbh. Glossy screens are tolerable on a laptop but would be horrible on a TV.

That said, I understand why in your situation you'd want this. Have you considered getting a local glazier to cut a sheet of glass and polish the edges? It should be easy enough to mount, and could be removed for cleaning.

Your so wrong, the Samsung gloss screen is Fantastic on my 40" LE40M86!

Not a bad idea. I might just look into that! I'll have to look properly at the mounting issue though wrt glass or perspex.
