Toshiba’s Sticking DVD Players In TVs Now
Sticking a DVD player in the body of an LCD screen isn’t exactly a revolution of design. But is is handy, especially in smaller screen sizes, which is why Toshiba have released their new DVD/LCD combo models.
Available in 19, 22 and 26-inch screen sizes, the screens all feature a stand that swivels vertically for wall mounting, a built in DVD player (obviously), an integrated digital tuner and at least one HDMI input (the 26-inch has two). The 19-inch model also has Toshy’s first 6-star MEPS rating. They’re all only 1366 x 768 resolution, but considering their minute screen sizes, that’s all you need anyway.
Pricing is pretty sweet, with the 19-inch costing $849, 22-inch for $949 and 26-inch for $1,049, although you’ll almost certainly be able to pick one up for less.
Toshiba also have a promotion running where you can get a free inverter, which’ll let you power up the screen from a DC power source. you know, in case you want to watch Watchmen on your next camping trip. As you do…

I hope the Toshiba DVD players are sturdy. I own a cheaper no-name unit that after a year the LCD is as good as ever but the DVD player is struggling on a lot of discs. One downside to consider in an all-in-one unit.
Regarding the inverter, consider boating or caravanning… two of the more neglected tech industries. I know a lot of people use them to get away from technology and actually have some semblance of a holiday, but it’s always handy to be able to watch the news or whatever, or chuck on a DVD to shut the kids up.
