Amazon.com Product Description
Get all your entertainment needs taken care of by a single, stylish package in the 20-inch Magnavox 20MF251W HD-ready LCD TV/monitor, which includes a DVD player integrated into its TV stand/base. You'll be able to watch all your favorite DVD movie and CD audio disc purchases, as well as music and video burned to DVD+R/RW, CD-R/RW and VCD discs. The 20MF251W also offers the versatility to easily switch back and forth between TV viewing and your computer monitor. It comes with a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner that can accommodate up to 125 cable channels. And it can display crisp high definition video when hooked up to an optional cable/satellite set-top box or HD receiver using the component HD video input. The 20MF251W delivers a true 1366 x 768-pixel HDTV resolution (capable of displaying 1080i and 720p high-definition signals), and it also features a 8 ms (millisecond) response time for viewing fast-moving content with minimal bluring, 160-degree horizontal viewing angle, 450 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and 500:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) The 2D comb filter separates chrominance (color) from luminance (brightness) information in the video signal for independent processing to improve picture resolution and minimize distortion. This set has two built-in stereo speakers that produce 3 watts of sound per channel (for 6 total watts). It offers the following connection options: - Composite AV (RCA): 1 in
- S-Video: 1 in
- Component Video: 1 in
- PC VGA: 1 15-pin D-Sub
- RF: 1 in
Tech Talk
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound. What's in the Box

DVD player poor quality May 16, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Bought one from Target. Try every type of DVDs (retail store bought, region 1, yadda yadda, I'm not stupid), none worked.
After a few minutes of research online, it seems like these units are poorly made (the DVD portion anyway) Returned the next day. Did not bother trying another one, why waste my time and gas money.
 good for the money March 27, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I bought this set because of a review by a "professional" on the net at an electronics review source. I now have had the set 6months. It has performed in every way that is promised. I have a small office/guest space & so it is wall-mounted, which was easy to do. The only problem I had was matching the mfg. code to the required one from the sattelite box so I need 2 remotes. One for on/offand volume and the sattelite remote for the rest. Well worth the small price.
Hearing Impaired? Don't buy if you need captions during DVD playback. January 20, 2007
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
If you're hearing impaired and NEED to be able to view closed captions (CC) during DVD playback, keep looking. Though Magnavox insists this unit can do this, it cannot. It can, of course, play back subtitles if the DVD has them encoded, and it can display CC during television signal playback, but for some reason it cannot show captions (again, CC is a different animal than subtitles) that are encoded on a disc.
If, however, you don't have a hearing disability or do not need the captions during disc playback, it's not a bad set. The picture is good (but not great) during disc playback and the sound is good, with a very feature-laden remote. If it had caption playback ability, though, I'd probably not move it above 3 stars as the viewing angle is pretty direct. Overall, a decent set for a kitchen or dorm room.
 DO NOT BUY THIS OR ANY MAGNAVOX TV! November 10, 2006
24 out of 27 found this review helpful
I purchased this TV and the DVD player jammed within 30 days. Magnovox refused to give me my money back because it was past the 30-day window; they insisted I pay to mail it back to them. They sent me a second TV and the exact same thing happened 10 days later. Their response? Spend another $50 to mail the second TV back to them. Their customer service line, with which I became intimately familiar, was atrocious. They couldn't have cared less. Never again Magnavox, or Philips, by the way, which owns the company. Never again.
