Like another reviewer, I received the unit with some dents in the frame along the bottom, front-right side. The box and packing materials were in good shape, so this appears to be a Toshiba quality control issue, unrelated to the retailer or shipper. On the positive side, it was very easy to connect and configure. The user guide is adequate, reasonably easy to understand, and well illustrated. If you have special connectivity requirements, you won't find any of the necessary cables in the box. Picture quality on the flat screen is excellent, and the sound quality is also very good, better still passed through my bookshelf hi-fi system. This was true for cable TV, VHS and DVD playback. I chose an old tape for VCR testing purposes, and I was very happy with the color, sharpness, and audio. I picked a "difficult" DVD disk -- i.e., dual-layer, "funky" color/surface/reflectivity factor -- and was surprised that it played flawlessly, first try. This "killer" disk has defeated a number of other players, so I've decided to keep the unit I received, dents and all. Like they say, handsome is as handsome does.

This television DVD/VCR combo is the perfect bedroom TV. The remote is easy to use, and the picture is very clear. Since it is all-in-one, there is not a mess of component cables to worry about!

I bought this item as a gift for my parents. While they love it, the sound, picture and clarity, the item came dented in several areas around the frame. It was noticable but not significant enough to return such a big item. The dents did not interfere with the picture or the sound, so....we kept it. All in all agood product, but disapointed in the way it came, since it obviously happened before it left the warehouse since the box itself was not damaged.

The television picture is gourgeous. The DVD features are wonderfull. I taped a program on the VCR and the re-play was virtually DVD quality. However, it is a very low price for a flat screen TV. And I think the low cost is mostly in the TV console. It seems to be tin and plastic. And it does not travel well. My set arrived with a couple of dings in the console. Then I notice there was a spot where it was cracked and compressed as if from being dropped.

Therefore I give the Toshiba MW20FN1 20" Flat Screen TV-DVD-VCR Combo 5 stars for quality at that price. Exceptional. - 2 Stars for ruggedness and shippability.

This TV is very cool and easy to manage. The combination is perfect and you will never have to keep buying millions of separate machines cause this TV will revolutionize the industry!!!
