I gather some of the more expensive TV's will do this, I don't think my 
Philips 720p TV will.  I'd suggest maybe looking in some of the 
independent magazines such as What TV & Hifi (I think it's called) as 
you'd probably get much better advice than say going into Currys/Comet 
etc or a main dealer (such as the Sony Centre or Panasonic Centre).

Personally if it was me, I'd also be looking at a TV which could do 
1080p (Full HD) as a minimum now, especially with a budget of around 
£500.  I believe you may be able to pick up a 37 or 42" LCD for around 
that although looking at Comet's site, LED TV's (i.e. TV's which are 
backlit with hundreds of LEDs rather than one or two lights) are nearer 
to the £600 mark for a 32".
