I was looking for a small tv/dvd combo for my bedroom. This looked like the best balance of price and features (<$400 when I got it on Amazon). The unit is very lightweight and compact, but it has a few drawbacks, some minor, one major. The overall finish looks kind of cheap, but it is okay for the price.

The biggest drawback for me was the picture quality. I tried adjusting it several times to get a really good picture, but the quality was never more than mediocre, even on a DVD (I tested it on Star Wars and Futurama).

The resolution and brightness of the picture are really lacking and the viewing angle isn't great either. The picture quality is okay while viewing straight on, but at a slight angle (e.g. while viewing in bed), I had to angle the TV to be able to view. Overall, the picture lacks resolution, sharpness and brightness. If you want a crystal clear picture, this is not for you.

Also, the remote doesn't have any lit buttons, so if you do view in bed or in the dark, it's hard to work.

Overall, this might suit you for very limited applications, but I am not happy with it and am returning it. I picked up the 17 inch widescreen Magnavox LCD/DVD at Circuit city and the picture quality and overall construction are much better for about $120 more. I tested it on the same DVDs and the picture quality is much, much better. I would strongly recommend that unit over this one. It looked almost as good as the LG 23" Widescreen for about 1/2 the price.

It has a really nice picture and it saves a lot of space with the built in dvd player.

The television is lightweight and relatively compact device with a very convenient DVD player. It is the bottom-of-the-rung as far as HD-ready televisions go and if you are an HD-snob, this is not the TV for you. However, as far as portable, cheap, and decently constructed LCD TVs go, this is about as good as it gets. This is definitely a good television to purchase if you are a college student or a young person who is on-the-move and doesn't want a large entertainment system to lug around, but still wants to be able to watch a DVD from the comfort of your own living space.

The ease of being able to move this item - it is so lightweight is a real plus. The LCD is a little fuzzy at times - but the DVD is great. You cannot get a wide screen on it like you can with the bigger ones but the ease of use is what is the best. I can work on the computer and view the TV at the same time. It is very sleek looking and the burnished metal look is also a plus. All in all, I am very pleased.

The LCD picture is not the gratest -- but good enough for my kitchen. The DVD player is a great feature.

We bought this TV to use in our kitchen because we had very limited counter space. For our purposes it has worked out great. The picture looks fine to us (we hooked it up to our cable) and the DVD player is an added bonus. For the money we were well pleased.
