Ya I was never big on combos, but for the price our Insignia is nice, got rid of an extra box and wiring. It does have HDMI aux input, so if when could add an external player if it quits.
Other thing is sound-depends on how or where its mounted. Our previous LCD had real speakers, the new one has teeny facsimiles, and downward firing. When facing dinnet the cabinet and curtains are behind it, sounds ok but to watch in bed it needs to be floating on an articulating arm. In free space the sound just disappears.
