They state that it is a Samsung panel. Could it be a Samsung LE40R51BX panel rebranded/repackaged?

Luminance (cd/m2): 500

1366 × 768 pixel resolution

thats great value! I remember a few months ago when the 32" samsung for £800 was amazing, comes with a wallmount too. It says it has dual tuners, are they digital?

I don't think they are digital, and that would be why it's cheap.

I'm thinking of ringing the number to find out the detailed specs. Will post on here if I do.

What do you guys think the freeview quality would be like on this panel? Im not going to be using it for hd.

It looks like you have to plug your own freeview box in via a scart. The description doesn't mention dvb tunner.

Freeview picture quality probably not great. I would never buy this type of thing without seeing it in person. Just to be sure.

Good value. Not having dvb wouldn't bother me. I use Sky for that.
