Toshiba MW24FN1 24-Inch Flat Screen TV/DVD/VCR Combo
Good overall unit; lousy remote control
I find the 24\\" size ideal for the bedroom.  It does play DVD-R discs as stated in the specifications, but not all media play equally well.  Titles burned using the 1x Verbatim media I purchased at Sam's Club play fine so far; however, the HQT 1X-4X DVD-R media I purchased from CDR/DVDR Media([...]) hangs and glitches occasionally during playback.  I believe the reflectivity of that media is near the lower threshhold of what the unit can read.  The Verbatim discs probably have a higher reflectivity index which makes them easier to read.  I'll just shop around until I find some 4x media that provides decent reflectivity and isn't too expensive.<br />Picture quality is quite good; more than adequate for use in my bedroom.  My biggest complaint by far is with the remote control.  The basic playback controls in the center split all the other buttons into an upper and a lower bank, with row after row of evenly sized and spaced buttons with confusing, unclear labels.  The only functions you'll be able to operate by feel are Power, Play, Stop, Rewind and Forward Scan, and Pause.  To skip chapters, navigate DVD menus, or even change channels or adjust volume, you'll have to look at the remote.  Really one of the worst-designed remotes I've ever used; very frustrating.  A couple of other minor complaints include the logic of the unit.  For example, you can eject a videotape and the unit remains off, but try to insert a videotape or even eject a DVD and the TV turns itself on.  Still, the picture is quite good, the sound is adequate, and even tapes recorded in my S-VHS deck are watchable (if a touch soft and oversaturated).  A better remote, smarter logic, and higher quality sound would earn this unit a five-star rating.
