LCD TV - "Monitor" vs "TV" (Samsung 2333HD)
Discussion
Santa brought me an Xbox, as a result I want a 1080p TV so that I can stick it upstairs.
I don't want anything massive, 23" > 26" should be fine, looking to spend about £250 or so, ideally on something with freeview built in and a couple of HDMI sockets.
My initial searching has located the Samsung 2333HD but it's listed as a "monitor" rather than a TV...

Dixons list this for £199 posted which seems quite reasonable, reviews seem positive other than a few complaints about the sound quality.
Am I missing anything in the spec that makes this unsuitable for occasional TV viewing and XBox use?
Should I consider any others around this budget?
Sorry for the noob questions but I'm still watching a CRT as my main set so I haven't really taken much notice of this kind of thing for a while.
Well a monitor is basically a TV without a tuner, it is for connecting things to it via its AV sockets so if it is a monitor then you cant watch TV on it witout a Freeview box or sky box etc.... but in the spec for this TV it does say that it has 'Built-in HDTV(ATSC) Tuner'.. thats something i havent come across before, googling it reveals that that tuner type is widely used in america?
