I was really disappointed with the picture quality from the dvd player and as a result this unit will be returned. I tried tweaking the picture settings to improve the picture, and while I could get it better, I just couldn't get to a level that I desired. Not to mention that it seems that you cannot have different picture settings for the different inputs, which is a big shortcoming, as the settings that provide a very good picture on the hdtv channels provide a very washed out image from the dvd player.

The unit stayed at the service center for 1 month waiting for circuit boards that never came because they were not available from Toshiba (A relatively recently produced unit and Toshiba does not even have replacement parts: that tells you something!). Finally Toshiba agreed to replace the unit and I received my current TV 1 month later. Now the DVD does not work properly and keeps on pixelating and skipping (I cleaned and played multiple DVDs but the problem persisted).

My issue has been with using it connected directly to cable with no box. The ATSC ( Analog ) tuner in the set is grainy and Channel flipping is slow ( blank screen while it switches channels and re-locks ). Worst of all, there is only a single RF jack.

I bought the first unit in August 2007. It worked fine for a few weeks then decided to quit (just went blank!). I called Toshiba and was referred to an authorized service dealer.

There are 3 other preset picture settings, but none adjusted the dvd picture to a level I was happy with, and having to reset the settings based on dvd vs hdtv would be very cumbersome. Perhaps there is a way to save the settings for each input, but I couldn't figure it out, and the settings never adjusted the dvd to a good enough level anyway. I assume that the DVD player is not progressive scan like you can get on many competitors' models now.

It took me 5 minutes to hook up and we were on our way. I have absolutely no technical knowledge but I do have a little common sense. I was able to take the TV from the box to fully functioning in no time.

The picture quality on hdtv channels is very good - not quite as nice as my Sharp, but still very nice and certainly acceptable. I wish I could say the same about the DVD player however.

They could not care less. All they were willing to do was to send me back to the service center. This is the last Toshiba product I will buy.

I also disliked that there appears to be no program info from hdtv channels being received, which I get from my years old Sharp. One other thing, small but very annoying, is the procedure to add a channel to you favorites. You have to go through several menu screens just to add a channel - a very tedious process.

If I want HDTV, I have to go terrestrial or rent a cable box from Comcast for $10/month. I was going to buy an antenna switch to be able to switch from ATSC-Cable to HDTV-Terrestrial, but as far as I can figure, the TV must be configured for either "Cable" or "TV" (Terrestrial) and switching between the two takes minutes to scan and reprogram all of the stations.

Only knock on it is the remote seems to have an occassional delay in responding once you try and change a channel. A bit over priced considering what other options are out there: you can buy a separate DVD player for under $50 bucks nowadays, and invest the rest of the cash in a nicer set...unless space is an issue, which is what you are paying for (its space saving ability).

Cons: -Relatively poor DVD picture quality (no progressive scan) -No program info for HDTV channels

However, if you plan to use the dvd player anything more than occasionally, I suggest looking for a combination unit that includes a progressive dvd player, since the quality here just doesn't match the quality of the hdtv broadcasts, and there seem to be offerings around the same price point as this unit that offer the progressive scan.

The dvd feature is a plus as we didn't want to overcrowd the room with components to make this work for their movies. The price was decent although it does keep fluctuating from time to time.

Not the best picture I've ever seen but a good value for the money. DVD player is kind of clunky but again, a pretty good value for the price paid.
