not bad :)
see it also has a PC input socket which would be handy for someone like the brat.

It's only 1024 x 768 resolution, so it wouldn't be as good as a normal LCD monitor for PC use, but certainly usable and inexpensive.

I have several 19" LCD monitors, all of which have the resolution set at 1024 x 768.
Although I've tried using a lager resolution I find this setting quite adequate.

It's a matter of personal preference of course (depending on one's eyesight) but 1280 x 1024 is the native resolution of 17" and 19" conventional format LCD monitors. I imagine that most younger people will prefer a higher resolution.

The linked item on Ebuyer is primarily a TV with built in freeview, not a replacement monitor. You can get a reasonable 19" widescreen monitor for an extra £20, which for PC use would be far superior. As a cheap telly though, that's pretty nice.
Incidentally, 1024x768 looks as-rough-as-a-badger's on my 17" monitor. In fact, anything other than 1280x1024 looks pretty nasty. TFT monitors aren't really designed with varying resolutions in mind, hence why anything outside the native resolution can look like blocky-mode in comparison. You can't split a liquid crystal down the middle. Or something.
The 1690x1050 monitors are pretty much standard fair these days, meaning that eventually you may well start to see web page designs that cater for the widescreen jobbies over and above the lower res' screens.

I was thinking of it as a TV rather than a desk top monitor,but if you are after a new monitor this might fit the bill.
