Mintek DTV-233 23-Inch LCD TV/DVD Combo
Nice product but no remote support and no customer support
This product is at the moment (March 2005) at the leading edge of falling prices in its category.  And the product works pretty well, as documented in William's review.  Yet I had two problems that have caused me to pack it up and return it.  First, the remote control supplied with the set is a bad joke; it cannot control any other devices, such as my cable box on which it sits, and it is nonprogrammable itself.  Worse, Mintek / Shinco has implemented a set of IR remote control codes that are completely incompatible with any universal remote control I can find.  Our Pioneer HD cable boxes all come with nice universal remotes (from Universal) that have many codes programmed in, but none for this set.  In fact, I can't find IR remote codes for this set on the web, or on the websites of remote manufacturers.  Why did Mintek / Shinco have to adopt an obscure, proprietary IR code instead of using a commonly used code set? Oh well, and when I called for help with this issue, I was told by a young fellow who could barely complete a coherent sentence, that tech support would call back \\"in a coupla days...\\".  And he was the only person in the 'customer service', so he claimed, that could speak to a customer on the phone.  Oh well, RMA, and I'm going to buy the Toshiba.
