I've compared this TV-DVD-VCR combo with others from Panasonic and Sharp in retail stores, and found this unit to be by far the best value based on price and picture quality. There's only one problem . . . Amazon.com has not figured out how to ship this item. The first one I ordered was damaged in shipping (the tv is packaged in very thin styrofoam and it appears that the slightest mishandling of the box could cause damage to the tv's corners or facade), and Amazon.com's helpful customer service quickly sent me a second one. The second one suffered from the same damage. Alas, I'll have to pay more money to buy one at my local retailer, since I don't want to risk receiving another defective one and Amazon.com doesn't want to risk this either. Let's hope Amazon.com figures out how to ship merchandise that isn't packaged by the manufacturer for individual commercial shipping.
