Don't buy it! After setting up this gem of a TV/DVD Combo, everything worked fine. However after less than 3 hours of use, the dvd player stopped working! Toshiba was NO HELP! NO TECH SUPPORT ON OR OFF LINE. They want me to bring it to one of their very few service centers. This place is over 50miles from my home. "I Don't think so"! When the dvd player starts, I get a error message (incorrect Disk) with a disk that allready played ONCE! I have tried several other disks, with the same results! So now I just have a very expensive plain TV!... Frist and last Toshiba product for me!!!

It's a TV with a sharp image and a good dvd player. I would have liked the dvd player to be able to play vcd's but you can't expect a range of features out of a basic built in model. I recommend this tv for anyone who is looking for a mid to high end model.

When the TV/VCR combos first came out 10 years ago, I was skeptical. It seemed like more could go wrong. But the higher end manufacturers have maintained high quality in the combo products. Toshiba produces great televisions, and this TV/DVD/VCR combo carries on the tradition.
The flat screen is a great picture. I'd say it's close to Sony Trinitron quality, though Sony WEGA still beats it. The DVD player works great. The unit has front A/V jacks, supports games and multiple video input devices (digital and/or video cameras, another VCR, etc.). Sound quality is surprisingly good, though I still run it through my stereo system when we're watching movies.

This is the best combo system I've seen from the major manufacturers. The picture is better, it looks better, and it weighs less.

I was looking for a good TV for the bedroom when I ran across this one ... Having priced out various TVs recently I snagged it immediately.

I must say I'm very pleased with the picture and audio. I love having the DVD player built in; fewer components, wires and such. Plus only one remote. I don't have a problem with the remote, and since I have standard cable I don't have any issues with satellite dishes. If you're just looking for a darn good TV with a built-in DVD, check it out. If you want bells and whistles like picture-in-picture ..., check out higher end models. I think this is the best value for a flat-screen TV in this price range.

I was awaiting the previous Model to come into stock when I found this Model, the next one available for immediate shipping. I jumped at it assuming it was the same as the previous model, only better.
Let me say as a TV/DVD it is wonderful, audio and pictures are great, BUT.... No mute and no S Video. Plus the provided Toshiba codes for setting up the DISH remote do not work either. We spoke to Toshiba and they confirmed no MUTE and no SVideo and gee if the codes don't work better speak to DISH.
I'm sorry, but not having a mute on a TV these days is so passe as to be funny and one does expect SVideo on a[n expensive] TV.
