TVs http://www.viewpoints.com/Orion-13-quot-color-TV-DVD-combo-review-4fd27 The Orion 13" color TV/DVD combo is not worth the money, do not buy it.  The DVD player that is built in is not reliable and requires cleaning after almost every use even if the DVD is brand new.  The size makes portability a snap but overall I have found it to be unreliable when using it.  The included antenna is insufficient to pick up even basic stations, so you need to either purchase a larger antenna or plug it into cable to...

The only problem is receiving reception through the rabbit ears. The signal strength seems really weak in our location. Lost ABC in the bedroom, yet we gained 2 more PBS channels. Kind of disappointed there! Also, our local Fox station is not digital yet, so we need to switch from the box to antenna frequently at this point. — —...

This television is amazing, the picture is crisp with or without HD cable and the DVD player is whisper quiet. The design is sleek and with the built-in DVD player there is no need to clutter its surroundings with extra unnecessary wires. I spent months comparing brands, features, prices, reviews, and aesthetics. In the end this unit met every standard I set forth and once purchased it exceeded them. I am now and forever a huge fan of Toshiba televisions (and their laptops as well). —...

I know there are good ones out there but Toshiba will never let you down. I love my telvision and Toshiba is the one I pick for me and always will be. My kids love it especially on Sundays when it's family night and we sat around watching Disney movies. All the family loves the Toshiba and it helps that it a big...

We absolutely love it. It has been great! We have a DVD recorder, Playstation 3, surrond sound system, VCR, and Nintendo Wii hooked up to it. Picture is great! Great quality!  A little slow when switching channels, but we currently only have an HD antenna, so that is to be expected.  Everyone I've known that has had a Sony TV has been pleased.  I would highly recommend this...

They have a very clear picture with great colors and sound is good. We own a Toshiba that we bought back in 1993, and it still works great.
