Wanna get a new TFT monitor, I want at least a 19" and preferably a widescreen, the only problem is i dont really wana spend more than £300 
It will be used for games, films and used with a TV tuner too.
Any recommendations?

You'll easily get one within budget, try Aria as already recommended.

Strictly thinking aloud but £300 would get you two 17s.....

I've still got the very first one that come out. It's a Benq FP557s. Just can't see the point in changing it as it works perfect

Samsung 913N is the best 19" TFT on the market at present and the best seller across europe, 8ms responce time (iirc) and it give a freaking awesome picture - I should know as I've got two!!
They were about £250 ish (each!) and I got mine from Overclockers (But they are shit) as I was buying a load of other bits from them aswell, if you shop around you can get it for a bit cheaper.
Edit: Click HERE for some prices.

Samsung 193P has a 178 degree viewing angle. It's PVA Technology -- same panel that's in the Dell 1905FP funnily enough (so you could buy one of them and it's pretty much the same).
I used two NEC 1980SX's in work. Awesome for Windows but not sure on their response time -- quite an old monitor really...
