My first unit died in 2 weeks when the DVD player door would not close. The replacement unit has now died 5 months later exactly as stated in a couple of the other reviews (power problem): it turns itself off. Always been happy with Toshiba before, but not anymore. Stay away from this one.

I like the price and size, but after only four months, the DVD wasn't working and I had to bring it to a technician, that took over a month to fix it. Even with the warranty, it still cost almost $100 to fix. I could have bought a new one!!

Bought one unit and it failed after a week of use; power problem. I tried it in different outlets and even on a surge protector, but it kept shutting off on its own. I returned it and bought another one, hoping for better luck. Same problem just happened with this TV. I'm not going back to get another Toshiba TV, and you shouldn't either.

We've had the 13" Toshiba TV/DVD combo for 8 months and we are having the same power problem that other reviewers have had. I noticed the last time the television worked, the DVD had a hang time. It completely stopped working the next time we tried turning it on. The light comes on for about one second and then shuts off. If you don't mind spending about $175.00 for a television that won't work in a year, this is the TV for you.

I purchased the TV-DVD combo unit for use in the kitchen and was initially very pleased with it. However, shortly after the warranty expired (90 days), the unit failed to power on correctly. Push the power button...little flicker...nothing. I thought Toshiba was supposed to be a respectable brand. The repair shop I talked with suggested that I donate it to a school that teaches electronics repair.
