Morning folks.
I'm after some recommendations if you have a second. I need to replace the bedroom TV - doesn't need to be anything ground breaking as it won't get used that often. Budget is around £200 - £250. Would be handy if it had built in freeview and DVD would be a bonus but I reckon I might be stretching it to achieve that? I'm guessing around 19" or maybe 22" and widescreen?
Any thoughts?

Doug,
Just bought this for our bedroom with the JL 5 year warranty:

It does the job, but I never expect too much from small TVs!
Has built in Freeview and the picture is good. The sound is a little tinny but can be adjusted easily to improve it.
Bargain really.

John Lewis are the masters at persuading people they have the lowest prices when very often they are knowingly undersold. 5 year guarantees are available at many other places including Richer Sounds.
Yep. The Philips 19PFL3404; really great picture and supprisingly good sound for a small TV. I had been looking for a bedroom TV for a few months, but when that came out, I got one straight away.
I was gonna say it's at the top of your budget, but I see Richer Sounds have knocked off £30 since I bought mine!
It has a great feature that I like, you can get it to switch on the subtitles every time you mute the set. I know, I know, but I think it's a cool feature.
One small negative though, the power light is a bit too bright for a bedroom, but easily sorted with a bit of tape or something.

I've had a 32" Samsung LCD for the last 2 years. It's a superb TV with a fabulous picture. Follow your own judgment by looking at the picture and decide from there.
I bought a 32" Samsung when I was in Australia for the AUD equivalent of GBP800 (this was four years ago). I use it for Sky SD and xbox360 and with a bit of picture tweaking it is very good. I don't notice any ghosting or blurring on fast moving items and picture is bright and clear. For a budget choice you can't go wrong with Samsung (though when I come to upgrade it will be Panasonic all the way..).Got this Toshiba 19" from JL for £249, you can get it cheaper elsewhere, but I was given £40 in JL vouchers so this made it pretty good value.
It's got a built in Freeview (so good for digital radio too) and DVD player so it pretty useful unit. The only issue is that the sound is not greatvolume & quality), but that's not really a problem running in the bedroom.

Interesting to note that the TV is guaranteed for 5 years, but the DVD, which is part of twhe whole unit is only for 2 years, which confused me a bit!
