The first impression when opening the box and examining the parts is ...this is a solid piece of equipment. Many LCD sets sit precariously on stands seemingly ready to be knocked over with the slighest swipe...not this set. The Regza has a super sturdy stand that is screwed together to the panel unit. In a matter of minutes the TV is ready to be connected to the video provider. In this case we had cable and used the multi colored connectors then used the setup function to set the unit at 1080. The HD stations are crystal clear. Using the DVD is super simple. A great looking set that eliminates the need for a DVD player. A good value and highly recommended.

I researched the heck out of HDTVs that had DVDs as part of the TV mechanism. You have the option of having it up on small footings (because the TV is so light, that works well) or the option of buying extra pieces to mount directly to the wall. Ours is sitting in a nice armoire where the doors can close around it right now.

Also, again after researching Consumers Reports, Toshiba was one of the highest rated TVs, so I was very excited to find it on sale AND with free shipping at the same time right before Christmas. Definitely a great find!

I couldn't recommend this television more. I have a 56" Samsung 1080p DLP, which I love for HD channels, but the analog viewing is mediocre at best. This Toshiba provides surprisingly crisp reception on analog channels and is great for HD. It's also in a room that gets a lot of sun. There's no glare whatsoever. And the footprint of built-in DVD makes it very sleek. Great TV.

I just got this HDTV/DVD Combo and it has been amazing. First, it plays the dvds better then my big Vizio the upconverting to 720p is amazing. Second, the tuner will "catch" every digital channel from your cable company that is not scrambled including the HD cnannels and I was amazed how many we got here you almost don't need the HD converter if you only want the local channels. Third, Toshiba have done wonderful job in writting the manual and I recommend that you read it, it will make your experience way much better. The TV has favorites feature which is very ease to use and you forget about punching in the number of the channels. And last of course, you have the DVD player included and you can install it on the wall ( like I did) and enjoy all the free space you get.
I will recommend this product as the best HDTV you can buy for your bedroom unless of course you have space for the 32" :)
Toshiba has done it again! Thank you!

I connect this TV to (a) cable tv top-box, Motorola, via DVI-to-HDMI and stereo RCA (cable top-box supports DVI and component only for hi-def) and (b) Wii via component video and stereo RCA.

PRO: The black TV exterior design is beautiful in my small living room, the size 26 in is just right. It was able to produce 720p or 1080i from the cable tv top-box with no problem. I could not say much about the sound, it's just okay even the SRS surround is on. Playing Wii game in 480p is excellent with no noticeable latency.

CON: I have one issue with this TV. I have a vacation DVD I developed with Sony Vegas Studio (latest version) which is unplayable with the built-in DVD player. This home-made DVD is, howeve, completely playable with Samsung DVD player (DVD-1080P7), Toshiba HD-A2, and also another Toshiba DVD recorder (1 year old). Commercial DVDs (or Hollywood-produced) are played with no issue.

I had this t.v. for less than TWO WEEKS before the integrated DVD player broke. Because it was under warranty, I loaded the t.v. into the car and drove it to the repair shop. After waiting 5 days on its status, I was told that the DVD would need to be replaced and that it was on back-order for at least 6 weeks. Meanwhile the t.v. had to stay at the shop and was inoperable. The repairman said that the TV/DVD combo is very unreliable--his suggestion would be to buy a stand-alone LCD and an inexpensive DVD player instead. I am returning to Amazon ASAP and buying another t.v.

The picture of this unit crystal clear. Although I have not tested it with an external DVD player with support for 1080p, I get 720p and 1080i from a digital TV broadcast signal (not cable/satellite).

I've had this TV/DVD player combo for over a year now and have never had any problems with either the TV or the DVD player. I have to wonder if the problems that other users were having was due to misuse or abuse of the DVD slide-in-slot player. So far this combo unit has performed flawlessly for me.

This is a great small room TV when one doesn't want a bunch of wires running to other equipment. A no brainer to set up and operate. No problem in getting available HD pictures.

I drive cross country and was tired of buying those AC/DC TVs that would only last a few months at $200 bucks a pop. So I researched LCDs and found this one had a pretty good review. After owning it for about a month it seems to perform pretty well. I tape my shows and burn disks which I can play without a seperate DVD player so I don't have to have any extra components or space. The picture is clear and crisp when playing store bought DVDs with great colors. The menue is pretty easy to navigate if you have even limited experience with newer electronics and the remote can do it all without having to get up.
