Amazon.com Product Description
Save space in your entertainment cabinet without sacrificing performance with the Akai CFTD2052, which integrates a 20-inch LCD TV and a slot-loading DVD player within the same unit. The vertically oriented DVD player is literally built into the side of the flat-panel screen--where it takes up almost no extra room--making it a terrific choice for bedrooms, kitchens, and other locations that can accommodate a monitor only. Regardless of where it sits, the TV offers such impressive video features as 640 x 480 resolution, a 3D comb filter to improve color and picture definition, and a 500:1 contrast ratio. It's also ED-ready, meaning it can receive enhanced-definition 480p digital picture signals when paired with a separately sold ED tuner. And though it can't display high definition (HD) signals in their full splendor, it can reduce HD signals to 480p--still far better than traditional cable or satellite resolution.
The DVD player, meanwhile, supports DVD, DVD-R/RW, CD, CD-R/RW, CD-DA, and MP3-CD formats, giving you several audio and video playback options. Viewers can even connect the system to a 5.1 receiver to enjoy rich, complex surround sound through the coaxial digital output. Alternately, they can simply enjoy traditional MTS stereo sound through the pair of built-in 1.5-watt speakers. Additional jacks include composite video and S-video inputs on both the rear and side of the unit for hooking up a VCR, camcorder, or satellite tuner and a 3.5 mm headphone jack for private listening.
A final bonus stems from the wide 140-by-160-degree viewing angle, which lets users see the screen from virtually anywhere in the room. The CFTD2052, which comes with a full-function remote control, measures 23.4 by 17.2 by 8.5 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a 90-day warranty on parts and labor.

Two For the Road
I build educational exhibts that travel to museums and science centers. I bought two of these on eBay for about $450 ea. to show a repeating video clip from a DVD that would run 8-10 hours a day. My goal was to find a flat screen TV/DVD combo with no buttons on the front that visitors can easily mess with. This model turned out to be perfect. Good price. Good picture. Decent sound (my partner felt it was a little low). Each of us used one at home for a few months before the exhibit was installed. We both miss it. We mounted them with an (EasyMount EZSJ-02 Pivot Arm LCD Mount for Up to 27" Screens). Worked like a charm for easy positioning. They exhibit has been operating for two months so far with no issues. I'm now looking at buying a couple more for our other exhibits.
