UMC 21.6" 1080p LCD TV/Monitor just £169.97

Picked one of these up this afternoon as I wanted to upgrade my monitor. Full 1080p screen with built in Freeview.

Has scart, component, HDMI and VGA inputs.

Nice glossy black surround, looks my a mini version of the Samsung M series.

Only issue I have with it is the pedestal stand is non adjustable.

I have a UMC 21.6 inch with built in freeview and DVD that I bought from Tescos last year. Not sure how similar the model is (the model in the picture looks identical to mine sans the DVD so I guess it's exactly the same but just without the built in DVD) but here are my feelings / gripes on it:

1. The built in Freeview widescreen is cropped and there seems no way to change this.
2. Freeview response for channel change / info / epg is extremely slow.
3. There is a blue LED for standby which lights up the whole room and cannot be turned off unless switched off at the mains.

Apart from that the picture is decent. Haven't tried the HDMI / Scart as it is just a bedroom TV.

For a TV in bedroom / kitchen that is used sometimes, it's grand. If the gripes above would bother you then stay away.

See this alternate 24 inch TFT (no TV inputs though)

there's no blue led on this, just a dull red one.

1080p picture is very good after fiddling about with the settings. Haven't hooked it up to an arial yet.
