4.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive Portable DVD player that provides value for money...., June 30, 2005

I recently bought the Coby 5" LCD portable DVD player and must say that for the cost it is a solid value. After considerable research and reading of various customer reviews this is the one I went with. For me it's been a purchase that was well worth it.

Pros: picture quality, even on a 5" screen, is quite good. images are crisp and clear, but bright colors tend to glow a bit.Unit is incredibly easy to use. Buttons on the unit perform the same features as the remote. Comes with headphones, car charger, and AC adapter, which some players dont. Plays CD, DVD, MP3 Data Discs, and Photo Discs. Cost only $120. Parental control function on the set up menu can restrict playback based on DVD ratings which is good for the parents.

Cons: Bulky with the added rechargeable battery pack. About 3.5 inches thick with the battery pack. Charge lasts about 3 hours, which is enough for a plane ride. Sound, though good due to stereo speakers, is not high enough to sit back and really enjoy, so headphones are a must. Control buttons don't respond fast, so moving through menus can be plodding. Buttons feel kind of cheap.

All in all a good value for the cost. For those who want a bigger screen the 7" Coby is also a good value. Those that are expecting a Toshiba HDTV quality image or sound will not be happy. These mini's are not designed for that. But for what they are designed for, they do the job extremely well.

I just got this dvd player home. My intentions of this is to keep my toddler entertained while in restaraunts, in the car, plane rides, etc. I popped in an Elmo DVD and was surprised to see such a clear, vibrant picture. Very easy to use. This seems to have all the accessories needed, headphones, cigarette adapter, etc, even a carrying case which I think is meant to attach to the back of the seat in the car, but I haven't gotten that far yet. All in all, I think this is a great little dvd player for .

I recently bought this DVD player and I have to say that I thought a 5'' screen was too small but is in fact great and visible from about 5-7 feet (approx!!! so not sure). The screen is high quality and brings all the necessary accesories so there is really no need to buy anything else!!!! I got it for $70 at Macy's on sale and I thought it was cheap, but I'm glad I bought it!!!!
