I had to return it to the store for replacement and pay for the lost DVD to Netflix. Now, after about six months, the replacement unit is also broken - it is stuck on channel 5 (Fox, to make matters worse), and refuses to change the channel. I am trying to send it to Toshiba for repair, but their website does not make it easy - the warranty information section sends you to (nonexistent) user manual, and there is no number to call.

The remote control is not bad, but again like many manufacturers, has a dizzying array of cryptic buttons. For instance there is one called "shuttle" which doesn't do anything obvious and its difficult to know what it means. There is also a button that you would think changes something related to audio but nothing happens when you push it.

19 to 26 inches. In conclusion I'm not disappointed with the product, but there are some elements of the experience that could be better. I've looked at a number of reviews, and if I had to do it all over again, I'm frankly not sure what other make/model would have the features I've noted in this smaller form factor.

I specifically bought the item with a credit card that doubles the manufacturers warranty so if you have such a card I would recommend this for any large purchase. I'm rating it 3 stars for now but it could be 3.5 or 4. Again I'm not sure if the manuals, connections, and remotes are any greener with other manufacturers.

The horizontal viewing angle range is acceptably wide for our purposes, but the vertical range is not so good. The contrast and color fade pretty quickly when standing above the unit, and as another reviewer pointed out, there is almost no viewing angle below the screen. This is not a unit I would purchase for hanging on the wall or sitting on a tall bureau unless you're willing to angle the screen downwards (which the supplied base does permit, to about 5 degrees below horizontal).

And while there is an antenna signal meter, the reading does not change dynamically when it's displaying, and it doesn't stay on when you change channels, both of which detract from its ability to help you aim your antenna for the best DTV reception. As one might expect for a TV/DVD combo, the remote is a bit complicated, with buttons serving multiple functions. For example, I was looking for a button that would enable me to jump back and forth between two channels.

And when you turned it on, nothing happened. The manual as well as the on screen menu were not intuitive to set up the unit for the first time. Again it took trail and error, and I'm not sure how the manufacturer did this if they did any sort of usability testing.

Buttons can be a bit hard to find but nothing overly complicated... The built-in DVD player is pretty fair. I think it only displays at 480p, but it's not too noisy and seems to search rather quickly.

At the time I purchased the Toshiba (November, 2007), there were not a lot of options for an LCD TV in this size range with an integral ATSC tuner. We were looking for a TV for the kitchen, and this was about the largest size that would fit. The other reviews suggested that the Toshiba might have more than its share of units with manufacturing defects.

When I got a Comcast HDTV box with RCA cables (they were out of the HDMI boxes) it took some trial and error to get the connections in the right place. Also in the input, we had to set it up to HD Color Stream for it to pick up the cable box. There is no large picture describing what the cryptic sounding connecters do, and again they were not clearly marked.

In summary, it serves it's purpose for watching TV in bed before I fall asleep and not taking up much room on the dresser. I would recommend it for the bedroom, the kitchen, or where space is limited. I would not recommend this for the living room.

The DVD player is basic, though it does have a zoom feature. Ours is quiet in operation, which shows that the design is capable of it, even if some other reviewers have gotten noisy units. The TV lacks some convenience features that would be nice.

The viewing angle of this TV is pretty poor as well. Forget laying on the floor and watching it. It is even noticeable darker while viewing while laying on my bed.

First, it swallowed my DVD and refused to give it back.

Otherwise,if you look at the screen from an angle, the colors & contrast seem faded. It is not the TV's fault, but the type of screen cover the manufacturer has put on the TV. However, when watching DVDs, the colors & picture clarity are AWESOME from any angle.

This is my second Toshiba LCD HD Television with DVD player. I bought this item for the kitchen so that I can watch while I cook and there are some DVD that I enjoy the my spouse does not like. Great product.

The manual is not very well written. It took some time, probably 15-30 minutes, to figure out how to program the tv. I connected it to a coax output from a standard Comcast cable box.

One nice feature which is unit has, and which is not on all units, is a VGA connection for pc or computer equipment.

It's very good at picking up digital channels even with a regular antenna. I can only give it 4 stars for picture quality.

At first I feared that this feature was not available, until I found in the manual that it shared the same button as the DVD/CD's Previous Chapter/Track function (and only then did I notice the tiny "CH RET" for "Channel Return" printed above that button).

And when you turned it on, nothing happened. The manual as well as the on screen menu were not intuitive to set up the unit for the first time. Again it took trail and error, and I'm not sure how the manufacturer did this if they did any sort of usability testing.
