Checkout http://www.hotukdeals.com/audiovisual/deals/hot as there has been a few very good deals on there recently for TVs in all sorts of sizes.

I think you'll be lucky to find something good around that size and without freeview for that money.

You're not allowed to sell TVs in the UK without Freeview anymore.
It's all fun and games until a 200' robot dinosaur shows up and trashes Neo-Tokyo… Again.

Have you tried www.tvsperhour.com you might have trouble financing it though as it's all being undercut by Indians and the Chinese I'm reading :'(

You might need to get some clients behind you and give some examples of tvs you have had before to be taken more seriously.

might be a bit sh*t.. but :-
£250 for 40" & £190 for 32"

Argos don't do repairs and the repairer don't carry parts for obscure brands so more than likely if you buy one of these you will get it replaced with "like for like" which works in your favour in the long run.

it might not be a case of not being allowed to sell tvs without freeview but more a case of why would anyone sell or manufacture and tv without it.

You would be selling somthing that cant recieve a signal in alot of places anymore so it wouldnt really be a TV it would be a monitor.

I believe this is the reason. To be marketed as a TV it must have a tuner that can receive broadcasts; since the minimum needed now to receive TV is a digital tuner for freeview, this is why.
