Searching For A TV/DVD Combo

I'm most interested in watching movies and am searching for a TV/DVD combo that is EASY to use and has VERY GOOD and CLEAR SOUND. Something in the 30 inch range would be nice.
  • Check the reviews by customers and you will quickly find that only the Toshiba combo units are reliable. The others all have problems and often the DVD player packs it in and that pretty much takes out the TV's value as well.

    All the TV's expect people to use a separate sound system for the audio and most have the speakers pointing to the rear so the screen and bezzle can be smaller. Don't expect great sound from the speakers of a small TV or even good clarity for listening to dialogue.
  • Most of the major brands will have a couple of TV/DVD combo units in their product line-up, we have a 26" Sharp in TT bedroom that draws around 40 watts making it an easy draw on our battery bank. Audio from most any flat panel will rarely match anything resembling true theater sound and depth, we have a small sound bar in the bedroom and a Bose system in the living area that helps to satisfy higher end audio requirements.
  • My Sansui has the most sensitive OTR digital receiver of the five brands that I have owned or tried. Won't matter with cable or satellite.
  • Toshiba has a 32 inch. Picture quality very good. Sound reasonable, but you can route the sound through your remote sound system. We have or have had 5 Toshiba TVs that have been problem free.
  • This is a bit smaller but it has great sound and a very large viewing angle,and is easy to use,some have a small viewing angle and only can be seen when viewing straight on.I found that out that hard way and had to return 2 because of it.Before buying I would suggest viewing it at the store if possible so you can view it at many angles,this one passed the test. I found it at.

  • Good sound may be harder to find than good picture. A sound bar or utilizing your entertainment center will help with that.
  • RCA 32" Model: LED32B30RQD
    Brought this for a family member. Purchased at Best Buy

    Has good consumer ratings
