After searching for a basic LCD TV for my dining room I'm starting to think it would be better to get a PC LCD monitor and a Freeview box.
The cheapest LCD TV I've seen is here:

However would it be better to buy something like this:

and a freeview box, which I've seen available for as little as £25.
Surely I would be getting a better quality screen and freeview for the same price? I know I would need a scart adapter:

with a VGA to DVI adapter on the end this should work ok, shouldn't it?
I know it would be a bit more awkward to install but I just think paying nearly £150 for a relatively poor LCD screen that hasn't even got freeview is a bit of a rip-off!
EDIT: just seen this one for just over a ton!, bit smaller with slower response time though:
