Summary: Flimsy case, and VERY flimsy shipping-box!
Review: I can't review this product's performance and image-quality, etc, because the poor thing didn't even survive its journey by truck from the vendor. [see also shipping-damage reports for the "Toshiba MW20FN1" 20-inch Flat Screen TV-DVD-VCR Combo]. The first reason is that the TV's case (outer shell) is a lovely but very thin PLASTIC, silver-colored and very high-tech looking, but about as impact-proof as the average plastic model car.
Worse, the Toshiba shipping-carton for this product uses minimal styrofoam on all inside corners, especially the upper corners; on the FRONT, the top corner foam is barely over 2 inches thick -- this for a heavy TV which may bounce on its head many times before delivery to the customer??! My TV's outer cardboard-box had only some minor scuffs, arrived still sealed, unpunctured and in apparently great shape, but the TV-case inside had BOTH upper front corners crushed, and the TV tube (CRT) had totally fallen inward away from the outer case.
This is not the distributor's fault (unless they refuse to replace/exchange the damaged merchandise), and I don't think any trucking company should be expected to transport heavy CRT's in packaging this flimsy. Check the package contents before accepting, and save your receipt....

Summary: Amazon.com incompetence
Review: I ordered a TV for my daughters birthday three weeks in advance. Not only did it not arrive, but Amazon.com didn't even have the decency to respond to any of my e-mails asking where it was, or what happened to it. Do your self a favor, and NEVER buy anything from these idiots!!!!!!

Summary: Decent flat-screen picture, the rest is so-so at best
Review: I purchased one of these for the bedroom. I thought 24" would be a bit too big, but it's actually a nice size for widescreen letterbox DVDs when it's near the foot of your bed. The unit does take up a lot of space though, and it's heavy. 24-25 inches is kind of an awkward size for a TV--too big for a bedroom but too small for a living room. I thought it'd be convenient to have the DVD and VCR combined with the TV, especially only having one remote. Unfortunately while the TV picture quality's pretty good, the built-in VCR and DVD aren't up to par with units I could have bought separately.The way you get the VCR to record, or stop recording, isn't completely intuitive to me, and the programming options are minimal. It doesn't rewind tapes too fast either. The good thing is, you can record a TV program while watching a DVD. The DVD player, however, is even worse--it takes forever to load a disc, move between chapters, etc. and it's very finicky about disc condition, sometimes refusing to load/play ones at all when my Pioneer unit in the living room doesn't even flinch. Although it does have the desirable side-mounted speakers, there's only one on each side and they're a paltry 1.5 watts each, hardly adequate for DVD soundtracks or playing music CDs. But, at least is has digital audio output if you want to use an external amp and speakers. The remote glows nicely if you've left it in direct light, doesn't have awkward buttons at the very bottom, and you can use many of the buttons by feel, however, a lot of them are same-sized and in a perfect grid pattern, and while the button glows the labels do not, so in the dark they really all look the same. The on-screen menus aren't the best I've seen either. Overall though, I'm pretty happy with this product except for the slow and finicky DVD player. The flat screen does provide a good picture, and the speakers aren't too bad for low-volume listening. It's certainly nice to only have one remote for three devices, and which can actually control all the features.
