Best 200 dollars I ever spent.
I bought this unit at Sam's club and did not have high expectations after reading all the reviews for the ones costing 3 times as much, but I was taking a cross country trip and wanted to have it to while the time away. It was great! I'll be honest, it is hard to hear some dialoque on airplanes, but I think better headphones would help. I decided to play foreign films so I could read along with the subtitles and that solved that problem. I watched one and a half movies on a trip from Raliegh to LA and it was the nicest time on a plane I have ever had. The pictures is amazing, and if you aren't on a plane the sound is great. When the battery dies (after about 3 hours), it makes a horrible sound, and the games included are loud and archaic, but I didn't buy it for games, so I don't mind. I really like this system and it was a great price. I bought a year long extended warranty just in case after reading the reviews. I've had it a month and have seen about 8 discs on it. I love it. I figure if it lasts 2 years, I have more than gotten my money's worth.
Great picture
I very carefully looked for a product with a minimum 8-inch screen. The price on this was great, and the screen is awesome! DVD's on this look better than on my television. I have had no problems yet, but bought the warranty just in case. The speaker quality sucks, but I kind of expected that for the price. It sounds fine with the included headphones. And being able to buy EVERYTHING you need in one fell swoop is so convenient.
Wonderful Product
We bought this portable DVD player for a road trip with our two sons ages 11 and 9. While we don't generally encourage watching a lot of movies, this was the best purchase we had made in a long time. It was a long trip, with many traffic and weather delays, so this product certainly helped keep our boys busy. It has two headphones so noone was complaining that they couldn't hear. It kept it's charge the entire trip-over eight hours- and comes with an easy adapter for recharging in the car or in a hotel. My husband and I also used it when the boys were asleep. The headphones let us watch without disturbing their sleep. I would certainly recommend this to anyone.
