TalkBackTalkBack: Add your opinion
The product: The perfect product for people who hate bothering with extra boxes, the 30-inch MW30G71 includes a DVD player and a VHS VCR inside its chassis. It's also among the first such combo units to use a wide-screen CRT tube that can handle high-definition resolutions. Toshiba adds a four-way memory-card slot for displaying digital photos. The set will be available in a 26-inch size, and a 30-inch model with TV Guide's electronic program guide will also hit the market.
  • 30-inch wide-screen HDTV
  • Built-in progressive-scan DVD player
  • Built-in four-head VHS VCR
  • HDMI input
The prospects: Apartment dwellers who can deal with the eventual breakage of this VCR will find a lot to like about this übercombo TV.
