Buying a Television/DVD Combi.

My mothers finally decided to get a new tv after her ageing tv gave up the ghost. Remarkably she says she also wants to buy a DVD player and freeview adapter to go with it I think the poor cows been on the whisky
I am now in charge of buying this with the brief of "I want it cheap but it's got to have to last longer than me"
I'm now on the lookout for a 28" tv with built in DVD player and freeview adapter. I'm guessing buying a tv with all the gubbins built in would be cheaper ? Total cost must not exeed around 600 quid
I'd prefer to buy in a large store like Currys or Comet as she wouldn't allow her Credit Card near the internet (In case it gets hacked or somfinck )
I remember seeing a Thomson Tv/Dvd combi a while back but ain't seen one in a while. I know I can get a Freeview box for about 80 quid.

Any of you guys got any ideas

Hi taffyboyo,

Just been checking pricerunner and it came up with these tv's with built in dvd player :-

I would'nt say that these were that cheap really, sure you could pick up a tv and seperate dvd a bit cheaper, bit more selection as well. Something like :-

with a dvd player :-

You could maybe get a tv with build in digital tuner, maybe something like the Sony KD28-DX40 and just buy a seperate dvd player?

Just a few ideas, hope it helps.

Regards

Hi, thanks for the advice guys. I must admit I've seen this and even though it ain't widescreen It looks a good un. With a freeview box for under 50 quid me mam will be well pleased.
