Best `bedroom TV` for £150-£200 (preferably at the lower end of that range)

Would have put this is the hardware section but no-one seems to reply to anything that`s not in here anymore.

After a TV for the bedroom (19" or 22"), with no built in DVD player. Can anyone recommend a half-decent one ?

I have one of these Samsungs in the bedroom, it looks and performs well.

I`m after something similar but with a built-in DVD player (according to my wife anyway).
Also needs to be wall-mountable (well, on a bracket obviously :D)

So if anyone can recommend that would be great. Otherwise I`ll just go and look around.

I don`t know how good that is in relation to the one Bowfer suggested by Samsungs are generally regarded very good value for money LCD TVs.

MilesR - forgot to comment on your question, from what I`ve seen(but I may be wrong), the usual recommended TV manufacturers don`t seem to make tv/dvd player all in ones, but I have seen them as I was interested for the spare room.

I`m sure I saw a Technika one in my local Tesco Homestore. Apart from that I`ve seen them in emails from Aria etc, i.e. PC monitor/tv/dvd player units from companies like Hanns G

edit, looks like "the big boys" do make combi units to, I guess some did VCR/CRT TV units so it makes sense.

Cheers all, the Sammy from RS doesn`t have built-in Freeview, I`ll go for the other one as that`s been recommended elsewhere and got good reviews too.

Went for the Samsung T220HD in the end...PC monitor with built in Freeview, great quality, bit more than I wanted to pay but hey, you only get made redundant once (well, twice so far !)

I ended up with the 19" Toshiba (can`t remember the model number) but it`s one with freeview & built-in DVD player.
Pleased with it so far.

Wanted to avoid a built in DVD player as if one component breaks, you lose the lot. Got a Phillip 5990 (I think !) DVD player - upscales, has a USB port on the front that will play pretty much everything I`ve chucked at it off an SD card and has a dead easy region hack
