Combine a crystal-clear 19" LCD display with a slot-loading DVD player, add a digital tuner, toss in nearly every input jack you could need, and you've got the Coby TFDVD1973 LCD TV/DVD Combo, a compact entertainment system that's ready for action.
The sleek, black, well-designed unit includes dual ATSC/NTSC tuners for reception of digital and standard TV broadcasts, and easily handles signals from your local cable or satellite provider.
When it's time to pop in a DVD or CD, the TFDVD1973 is equally at home playing commercial discs or those you've recorded. The Coby also can play JPEG files from your photo collection. Have digital files stored on flash drives or memory cards? The TFDVD1973 takes them in stride via its USB port and SD/MMC/MS card slot.
For a change of pace, connect your Blu-ray or DVD player, DVR or VCR, video game system, camcorder, or MP3 player. The TFDVD1973 can hook up with them all through its HDMI, component, and composite inputs. There's even a 15-pin VGA interface that turns the Coby TV/DVD Combo into a computer monitor for your desktop or notebook PC.
To sweeten the deal, the TFDVD1973 includes a host of convenience features, such as V-Chip parental controls, closed captioning, electronic program guide support, and a sleep timer, to mention just a few. And they're all at your fingertip command with the included full-function remote control.
Share the fun with friends and family over the full range, stereo speakers, or enjoy it by yourself by plugging in a pair of headphones. Either way, the Coby LCD TV/DVD Combo will keep everyone entertained for years to come.

Comments about Coby TFDVD1973 19" LCD TV/DVD Combo:
I purchased this as a "lowest common demoninator" TV to test DVDs we author. Well, it fit that bill perfectly. So, yes it plays a disc.
The picture quality is inexcusable, truly horrible. Jagged edges, jagged text, wacked display ratios...and the remote control is the most un-user friendly I've ever seen. White papers could be written about how NOT to design a remote.
AVOID the combo unit.

Comments about Coby TFDVD1973 19" LCD TV/DVD Combo:
This was an awesome Black Friday buy that I was so excited to get. Unfortunately, I'm thinking this may be one of those great buys that you end up paying for in the long run. So, I bought to take on our camping trips and put in the trailer to watch movies on. Right now, it is sitting in my daughters' room up on her dresser. She was watching a movie and we noticed the following: remote control really stinks (you have to keep pressing the button to get it to work), and the screen gives off some sort of shadow when it is higher than the viewer causing distortion in the picture.

Comments about Coby TFDVD1973 19" LCD TV/DVD Combo:
I have only been using this product for 1 week. It is a second TV for bedroom. I have not used the DVD player, but operation seems simple and convenient. Picture quality is fair to good, hopefully better with DVD. Easy set-up and remote & other features work good.

Comments about Coby TFDVD1973 19" LCD TV/DVD Combo:
This product is competetively priced but it's not user friendly. The subtitles always come on with every new disc you put in and you have to manually turn it off every time . . shouldn't that be the default setting? The remote has a jillion buttons that are tiny and very difficult to read yet alone understand. . and so on!

Bo't this digital TV as an option to cable TV. Like the remote and don't quite understand previous responses about the difficulty to navigate with it! Quality of pic is great and DVD is the easiest to use. Would recommend heartily to buy this model!

Comments about Coby TFDVD1973 19" LCD TV/DVD Combo:
I wanted a tv/dvd combo that wasn't too small, and for a good price. This is an amazing television. The picture is crisp and clear, the sound is great, and for an amazing price. The only downside, is that the remote control is set up in a really strange way that doesn't really make sense. Other than that, I am extremely happy with this purchase!

Comments about Coby TFDVD1973 19" LCD TV/DVD Combo:
The TV arrived in good condition and gives a good picture. Price was right. I would give 5 stars except for the remote control operation. It is very poor. Unless you are directly in line with the front of the TV the remote will not work. It has no sensitivity. I thought I would buy a universal remote to see if the problem is the TV or the remote. I cannot find a remote compatible with Coby TV's so that is another negative. The TV Takes a long time to start itself up and it reacts very slowly to remote control inputs. Probably would not purchase Coby again.
