You Can Buy LCD HDTV for Best Price at: www.amazon.com Anybody who's owned a combination TV/VCR, or its multiheaded offspring, the TV/DVD player/VCR, knows that the VCR eventually breaks, and fixing it is not easy. Happily, the DVD part seems a lot more robust, which should reassure prospective buyers of the Westinghouse VK-40F580D, which is one of the few larger-screen flat-panel TVs with a built-in DVD player. In our testing, the player performed up to spec. The TV's picture quality was a pleasant surprise, with solid black levels, accurate color, and no major hiccups. Of course, the VK-40F580D will cost a bit more than a low-buck LCD and a drugstore DVD player, but the convenience of the built-in player should appeal to people, perhaps parents of DVD-addicted children, who want it all in one integrated package. Design: The VK-40F580D isn't going to floor anybody with its styling, but it's probably smart enough to pass wife acceptance muster. The highlight is the little disc slot on the front panel below the screen, which is accompanied only by the discreet eject key. A bezel of standard glossy black frames the screen, and surrounding the silver disc slot is a swath of perforated matte black, behind which the speakers reside. The downside of the set is the cheap-looking black plastic stand, which doesn't swivel, although it does seem sturdy enough.
