Cheapest 19 inch TV I have seen

I just reserved this Advent 19" Widescreen monitor with TV tuner for collection at my local PC World. I have been looking for a Widescreen LCD TV for the kids room for a while now and, although they have a nice HDTV Samsung for £279, this must surely be the cheapest out there; £164.99

Anyone know if it is any good, or are there alternatives near this price?
I presumed lack of connection and speakers might be the reason but I rang the store and the guy confirmed Scart and regular co-axial as well as built in speakers.
C`mon guys-what is the catch here?

Got it this morning and the face of it looks fine. Round the back there is a TV box module bolted on with all the relevant connections and a pass through for monitor connections. Seems a bit of an after thought but it does have wall mount screws on the TV box and a handle on top with buttons and IR panel.
Works fine so far but there is no scart only Video and L+R audio but that is fine. Volume is not bad for a LCD monitor either.

Samsung looked much better but then it is nearly £140 more-you could almost get two of these. It tuned in to all the channels automatically though they were a bit fuzzy (my rubbish ariel).
Put a freeview box on today and it was much better. No idea how it looks as a monitor until I get my laptop back... :)
