I bought this TV/DVD combo assuming that it would play just about any disc that you put in it. You know, like the cheapest DVD stand alone dvd player you can buy does? Well beware, it does not play mp3's and has issues with almost all home burned DVD's I have put in it. I have a total of four stand alone DVD players, my Sony being the oldest (ancient) and they never have trouble with any home burned disc. This Toshiba has trouble with just about all of them (pixilates and then stops working) So as far as a TV goes... not bad. As far as DVD player... pretty disappointing. Although I have not had trouble with commercial DVD's to this point.

I bought this tv 13 months ago and used in my gym - so for an hour 3 times a week. Worked fine one day next day I switched it on and nothing....the internal electrical supply was faulty just out of warranty! So I would not recommend this product.

I bought two of these TV's in december, and after about a month they both shut off after a minute that they were turned on. If I leave them unplug for about two days they are back to normal for a day or two. which then the problem cycle starts all over again. The company right away says that their was a surge in the electric lines .how is that so when they play normal for two daYS.?????????????????????????????????

The color looks perfect. The closed caption system works just perfect on every channel. DVD system is working very good. The only thing I am very disappointed is the closed captioning system won't work on DVDs. If you are hearing impaired, just make sure to use any DVD with English subtitles. The only feature I love is using my headphones which plugged into the TV/DVD combo's headphone jack.

This is a perfect purchase for a small room. It works well, and is easy to use. The picture quality is good. My only warning is that it is small so it does not work in all situations.

We also bought this TV for my daughter's college room (thought it was great - small space, runs DVD, cheap) but after about 18 months it suddenly died. After reading the prior reviews, it is probably the internal power supply. She had it plugged into a surge protector, so it wasn't a surge. It may be cheap - BUT IT WAS NOT WORTH IT!

This unit has a basic flaw in parts and/or design.

Just before the warranty was up the power supply went out (TV wouldn't turn on). I still had to pay $75 for labor to get the unit fixed. Now, only a little more than a year later, the same problem has occured again. Only this time I had a DVD in the unit when it happened, and now there is no way to get the door open to recover my DVD. I am currently planning on taking a hammer to the unit to recover my DVD and cut my losses by buying a new unit....NOT TOSHIBA!!

Worth every penny! I bought it for my daughter's room and we can hear it down the hall, if we let her play it as loud as she wants. Viewing and sound quality are wonderful and it even plays CDs! As soon as the other children are ready for a TV, DVD player in their room....I'm looking for this again.
