(More customer reviews)I'd been waiting well over a year to buy a portable DVD player. I'd done my research and I was looking for a player that was a brand name, had an 8 inch screen with a sharp quality picture at a good price. I finally found it and this is it.
Likey the most important feature for most people shopping for a portable DVD player (besides price) is the image quality of the screen. You want to know how good is the picture quality on this player. The answer in two words is very impressive. The main problem (and the reason I waited so long to get one) is that the affordable players all had rather poor image quality. So poor that it was distracting from what you are watching. If you wanted a nice crisp picture you had to pay an arm and a leg. This player however has a picture quality that I thought was just about as good as the $400+ players. The colors are sharp and vibrant. It was very easy watching a movie on this to get involved in the film and forget that you were watching it on a smaller screen.
Sound wise the player has two small built in speakers. While they will work in a pinch, you simply are not going to get quality sound from speakers that small on any player you buy. The player is designed to be used with headphones so you'll want to invest in a nice pair of quality headphones to use with this. The good news is this player has not one but two headphone jacks, one on each side. So if you and your spouse are on a plane together you can both plug in and listen to the film together without having to try and use the built in speakers. This is a very nice feature.
So, if you are like me and have been waiting for a name brand player with a nice quality screen to come along at an affordable price, then give this one consideration. I think you will find it to be a very good player for a decent price.
One last note if you do buy the player about the default settings. The default factory settings on the player for sharpness is LOW. This will give you a very soft poor quality picture. When you get your player, go in and make sure to change that setting from LOW to either MED or HIGH. It makes a big difference.
