@briantist It's an LG M227WDP (22" Full HD 1920x1080) which I suspected had a Freeview HD tuner (it recognises normal broadcasts as "SD" and according to the manual will show whether the broadcast signal is 480i/p, 576i/p, 720p or 1080i/p) but perhaps it doesn't have a HD tuner after all :(

@briantist Thanks for your response though, greatly appreciated, and the site is very useful for seeing what channels are used for what (I still use 5 analogue channels for DVD, Sky box, Humax HDR, etc. so it's good to know where to avoid!).

Martin: You should really switch to using HDMI (or SCART) if you want good pictures though!

Martin: I've had a look at LG M227WDP Monitors - 22" TV Monitor - LG Electronics UK and the set is "HD Ready" so you will need to get a Freeview HD box to watch Freeview HD, the built in tuner can't receive the service.
