22" LCD/TFT TV/Monitor

[JamserUK]

Hi all

I'm looking to buy a 22" LCD/TFT monitor that I could also use for watching TV. Would it be better to buy an all in one HDTV/PC monitor or to buy a monitor and a seperate tuner? The monitor will mainly be used to watch films/DVDs and to play games, however I may be investing in Sky HD in the near future.

Im looking to spend roughly £150-£250, the current models I have been looking at are:

LG M228WA
LG L226WTQ
Samsung SM226BW

Can anyone please give me some advice about these models or recommend any similar models as I'm not really sure what to look for?

How i do it

I have a VisionQuest 22 '' VQL-22 INCH DVI-D with HDCP, Flat Panel,
$350 CDN
Next a Winfast PVR-TV PCI card with cable TV in,Software included.
Model TV2000 XP Series Model 3.
About $100 CDN.
DVI-D cable sold seperatly at about $30.
But in order to get the best results you need a Video card with a DVD-D
connection.I have an ATI 9600 AGP.

Is your 8600GTS an AGP card ?
PVR's come in USB models,but i had bad results with mine.

PCIs

My graphics card is plugged into a PCI express, however it also covers up another PCI slot because its so thick. In the others I have a 5 port USB card and wireless network card. My motherboard is a MSI (Micro Star) MS-7093 (RS480M2-IL)
