Obviously I need 58 for HD

Really? I do actually have a UK model, and it states clearly on the packing box built in HD tuner? If it doesn't have this then it will go back to Currys..

I think the literature is very misleading and I'l take it up with Currys on Saturday. If you see below, this is an HD TV with built in freeview. You are right, it does not specifically say Freeview HD, but in my opionion it implies it, and the guy in the shop fell into the same trap as me and told me it was HD freeview!
The box is in multi langauage and the Fench one states Tuner TNT HD integre, which means integral HD TNT tuner. In English it omits the HD part...
Many thanks for your help with this.

The Samsung LT23B550 Full HD 23" LED TV Monitor has a sleek and stylish design, combining monitor and TV capabilities.

This television is also equipped with a Freeview tuner so there are plenty of TV channels to choose from. There's even an Electronic Programme Guide so you have all the channel information you need!

OK Dave, the gloves are off! I'm ready for Currys. The assistant was a very young lad who clearly did not understand all this.
many thanks again, great service!
