I'm looking for a 32" TV for my bedroom. Don't really want to spend more than £400. Essential criteria is LED, Full HD and Freeview HD. Some sort of internet capability would be good (built in Wi-Fi preferred but not essential).
Got my eye on this at the moment:

Something like that I'd go for.
You need a dongle for wifi on that one, which probably isn't cheap, could use a wifi bridge though as long as it has ethernet.

Although this looks like better value, basically the same but without any internet capability and over £100 cheaper:

Plays media off network or USB even without the internet parts.
Depends if iplayer, netflix or whatever else you can get with the smarthub would be used or not.

Well I have a Wi-Fi enabled BR player in my bedroom already which has iPlayer etc (it's a Samsung BR player so I assume the services will be the same as the TV?)

If you are definitely using that then you might as well save £100. Will be exactly the same stuff.

Pretty sure this one is fat, like nearly 10cm deep... Just something to think about if you're going to be wall mounting.

I've just put in a price match request with John Lewis for the cheaper Samsung TV. Richer sounds have it for £295 so I'm hoping JL will match that.
I'm not wall mounting so depth isn't really an issue.

I've never heard of Hannspree? Do they do good kit?

Ebuyer have had it for ages, I wouldn't normally touch it tbh but they do get good reviews.
Missus doesn't care if it's super duper or not so worth the £200 to try.

Freeview HD is quite important to me, I know there are only a handful of channels but it comes into it's own for stuff like the Olympics.
