Toshiba MD14FP1 14" Pure Flat Screen TV/DVD Combo
--PLEASE-- avoid this product!
As many other reviews indicate, this Toshiba product is a waste of time and money.  PLEASE save yourself the trouble and find an alternative product to purchase. <br /> <br />I bought this model at a retail store, and when I first turned it on, I was impressed by the crisp picture and sound quality.  I ran through the brief set-up process, popped-in a DVD, and was happily enjoying it.  After about fifteen minutes passed, I noticed that the screen began to \\"flicker\\": the brightness would momentarily increase on portions of the screen, anywhere from a 1-inch band at the bottom to 3/4 of the entire screen.  The flicker continued in subsequent days, beginning anywhere from five to forty-five minutes after the TV was turned on and occurring about every ten or twenty seconds.  I also connected my Playstation 2 to the television and observed the same flickering problem.  I later moved the set away from all other electronics and power cords, but the problem remained. <br /> <br />I exchanged the set for another, and the new set had the SAME flicker but WORSE, as it began immediately upon turning on the set, and the flickering was accompanied by a quiet \\"snapping\\" noise.  Within a half-hour of viewing a DVD, the flickering became accompanied by a intermittent DIMMING as well!  Horrible! <br /> <br />My first set was manufactured in October '04, and the second set has a November '04 sticker, so this defect apparently goes beyond \\"one bad day in the factory;\\" defective sets may have been produced for weeks, or even months. <br /> <br />As I write this, there seem to be no top-name competitors offering a similar product, which is sad, because this set was -exactly- what I was looking for. <br /> <br />PLEASE take the numerous negative reviews into account and do not waste your time on this set.  I usually trust Toshiba, but they sure released a lemon with this one.
