My kids agree that this dvd player performs well. My only two complaints so far in the two days I have used it are:

1) The manual is stamped NO WARRANTY - AS IS. I believe it is because the company is out of business. However it doesn't leave a warm feeling in your tummy when you see that. I checked the box before opening it, and it appeared, for all intents and purposes to be brand new with no scratches, sealed plastics on everything, etc.

2) The old laptops had a problem with viewing angles - a little to the side and you could not see anything.....
This has it to a lesser degree. A little to the side and you don't get the entire glory of the picture. The colors seem off and the features are a bit untinted. This is a biggie to me, as we bought it for use on long car trips so that all the kids in the second and third row of the minivan can see the screen. The kids have not complained though.

Bear in mind - a 10 inch widescreen is not a ten inch monitor. It's a rectangle that only goes up vertically 5 inches. I didn't realize that before purchasing. Beware before you purchase.

I bought an FM transmitter to play the sound through the van's sound system, because the one that goes into the tape player makes a lot of pop and hiss. Great buy for the money. Next cheapest at a decent price is the Cyberhome 1010a. Good luck.

It has a great picture and good sound I really liked it, but I should have had a clue. Stamped on the front of the manual it says products sold as is. It lasted for about a month and that was that. I'll try and contact Amazon to see if I can get it repaired. I should have know better. Amazon should have posted that they are AS IS!

I have been so pleasently surprised by this item. Not only is it beautiful, but it works so well. It was a gift for my father, who has to sit through 4 hours of dialysis 3 times a week. This DVD Player has made his treatments bearable.
Thank you ever so much!

Battery only lasted about 45 minutes the first time and second times I fully charged it. I read in the manual that at first you dont get the full 2 hrs advertised but it seems like 45 minutes is ridiculously low. Other than that, I like how it looks, how heavy it is and all the features. My only problem is how long it sustains a charge, not much by my initial estimations.

I am enjoying it very much. It is everything I had hoped for.
