March 2009. Reviews say the space-saving, 15-inch Toshiba 15LV505 LCD TV-DVD combo is a good choice for kitchens and dorm rooms. This is a widescreen HDTV, but it lacks an HDMI input. We've seen some complaints of slow channel changing -- but that's a common issue with many digital tuners. The sound also doesn't get very loud -- that's fine for a bedroom, but could be a shortcoming in a busy kitchen. Picture quality is very good and the TV-DVD combo is easy to use. The TV is also available in white -- perfect for many kitchens -- as the 15LV506 (*est. $270). If you're looking for something a little bigger, you might want to consider the 22-inch Sharp LC-22DV24U (*est. $400) instead.

Professional reviewers rarely evaluate TV-DVD player combos and never ones with smaller screen sizes. However, TV-DVD combos are popular with consumers, and there are a good number of owner reviews of the 15-inch Toshiba 15LV505 at Amazon.com. You can also find lots of feedback at Buzzillions.com, which accumulates user reviews from small and midsize retailers across the Internet. RateitAll.com, an independent consumer review site, also has a handful of reports.
