I've owned several Toshiba televisions over the years, and the one striking feature they all had was solid build quality, and excellent reception and picture quality. Not so with this model. Even with an amplified VHF/UHF antenna, and living in a major metro area, reception is subpar on many channels. The picture jumps a lot (doesn't sync), and is subject to image ghosting. This is a shame because the DVD player, and DVD picture quality is excellent. So, this unit is indeed a 'mixed blessing'. Look elsewhere for a quality 13" TV/DVD combo unit.UPDATE: 12/24/06; As of yesterday, I discovered that this DVD player will NOT play several DVD's I fed it! I had purchased some educational DVD's for my toddler, and out of the 6, it only plays 4. It turns out that this DVD player is in fact a P.O.S. Stay away from this subpar TV!
