From the few reviews that I have read about LCDs the budget end ones are pretty ropey - 32" screen is large enough so that you'll notice if the picture is cr@p.

Have you looked at Richer Sounds?

They do 'last year's model' and stuff like that from the better manufacturers - might get a better TV for around the same money.

personally if it was me I'd rather keep saving and buy something like a samsung rather than risk it on a cheap one with a dodgy picture, probably not what you want to hear but I thought I'd add my opinion

Do you have a branch of Richer Sounds near you
They seem to have a lot of LCDs in stock these days

If I were you I would want to see the TVs first to see what the picture quality is like
Not all LCDs/ Plasmas look as good as each other
I went by picture quality when i got mine (many of you will have seen it at the London Guitar Show playing our slideshow)
I ended up with a Panasonic which was a pricey one but the picture beat anything else hands down.
It was a plasma one and not an LCD as it happened - still looks good 2 years later

All I will say is dont go for the brand LG. I had one of their LCD monitors and it was bloody awful. Text was blurry and images were allright but edges werent very smooth so it all looked a bit jaggedy on the screen. Got a dell and thats much better but a dedicated monitor rather than a tv so a bit different.

Runco???

Is that a brand, a shop or an instruction?

[goddamn electric]

Well im gonna go with the ebuyer one, theres a 10 day returns policy for unwanted goods so if its a pile of cr@p i'll send it back, i'm not really prepared to spend more on a brand name for bedroom use, thats a few hundred i'd rather spend on guitar gear.

All 3 lol. Well, not a shop. They make the best displays in the world.

Never use a tv as a monitor everything will look cr@p as the resolution isnt up to par.

The new LGs are actually quite nice in the pricier models the panels are the same as those used by samsung and phillips.

What is your budget?

I managed to get a great deal on a 32" phillips ambilight. It was actually meant to be the non ambilight model (cant remember exact model but virtually same thing without lights and higher response time)

There was a production fault with the tv i got (whistling sound) and every other in the store had the same problem so i got a free upgrade so i got my ambilight for £540 when it was meant to be £700

Well the one I got was advertised as a monitor primarily, but had a tv tuner/aerial input built in so you could use it for both. cr@p monitor and it wasnt even that good for tv and xbox :?
