For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.why not try freecycle in your area? as people 'upgrade' to plasma and lcd atrocities, there are sets which cost hundreds often given away or sold in local small ads for very little.
although size is a potential problem, the picture will almost certainly be better and the CRT sets are far cheaper to repair in general than the throwaway stuff of today!

Thanks for the replies.
As regards spec, I have been looking at Argos Bank Holiday deals. As well as the usual gumf like price they also list Resolution , Brightness, Contrast. and HDMI.
Is a resolution 4024x768 better than 1365x768.
Is brightness 1500cd better than 500cd.
Is contrast 2000:1 better then 1000:1
Would i ever need more than I HDMI
Obviously there must be some difference in quality but would I actually notice?

Adam, are you talking about supermarket own brands, or supermarket stock generally? I would have though a Sony is a Sony, wherever you buy it. As regards own brands, I have always thought that these were made by the same manufacturers as the main brands. It is easier for them to replicate the models rather than make another one with inferior parts.
adam is mistaken ... the supermarkets have reputations to uphold - they don't sell refurbs. They do however sell on quality or price
generics are cheap ... and brands are quality - but my impression of supermarkets is they are expensive.
forget the spec - go and look at the bl@@dy things ....set a budget .... stick to it.
once you have a couple of possibles ... google to get a good price
