After receiving the item I installed it in my Explorer and gave it a test run while out Christmas shopping. The picture quality on the main unit was outstanding, however the other monitor had distortion and what looked to be signal problems. I returned the item and received another from Amazon, Kudos to Amazon for being so fast with the replacement. I installed the second item, and had the same problems. Needless to say we returned that one too and went with a different DVD player.

After shopping around, this model has all the features I was looking for at the best price. It works perfect and we have had no problems at all. The only downside is that you have to take the entire unit out of the headreset harness in order to change the DVD, which, on longer trips lasting over one movie, it is time for a rest stop anyway when you have a couple of young ones.
Overall, great value

This DVD player falls WAY below my expectations. The cord will not stay in place to recharge the battery. And, funny, this started happening a day after the 3 month warranty wore out! Customer service is unfreindly and uncooperative. The product is not worth the money to repair, so I threw $161.00 down the drain! I'll stick with other manufacturers with better customer service and a more reliable product.

We used this unit only a few times after putting it in the minivan. Besides not being able to read discs at times, the unit itself (not the battery) overheats after 30+ minutes of use and shuts down. The supplied headrest mounting bags cover the remote sensor so the remote control is useless while the unit is mounted in a vehicle.

The Coby TF-DVD7750 portable tablet DVD player is simply a poorly made product. While it did play DVD's when I first purchased this item, it quickly became useless after only a few uses. Even when it did play DVD's, it would stop in the middle of a movie due to overheating, etc. Now, it won't play anything. This product was never dropped, stored incorrectly, etc. It simply doesn't work. The screen quality was fine, but what good is that when the unit won't read a DVD in the first place? I finally threw the tablets away in the garbage. Also, if you have children like I do, buy one of the units that has the DVD player separate from the screens. This way you can easily change the movies from the front of the car without having to take the player/screen (like the Coby unit) out of its harness to switch movies.

I bought this dvd player for a road trip to Iowa. The picture quality and sound are great. Easy to install, took less than 10 minutes. For the price I would reccommend this dvd player. The only complaint the kids had was that you had to remove the dvd player from the headrest to change out the movies. Overall a great purchase!

I wasted over $150 on this letdown.
Surprise, the warranty ran out just as the player died.
Blue screen on the main unit and no picture at all on the other.
I will purchase another portable unit from another company.

The unit has a great picture with great sound...when it works, which isn't often. We returned the first unit because it didn't work half the time, giving us a "wrong disc" message all the time. Customer suport? Forget it. We sent it back with a check for about $18.00 for return postage and paid about $7 to ship it back, so it cost $25, or about 13% of the purchase price to have it replaced under warrenty. The second unit arrived within a couple of weeks, which was impressive. The problem is that the second unit is just as bad as the first unit!! If you buy this unit, fork out the cash for an overpriced extended warrenty through your retailer (read the fine print) that will simply allow you to exchange it through the store in lieu of monkeying around with Coby. You will need the extended warrenty becasue the unit will fail.

Update: broken already...its been a bit over 3 months and it's now as useful as a paper weight. I wont read any discs.

Initial review:

This is a decent dual screen DVD player. The picture quality is great on both screens and installation in a car is easy though the cable between the two screens is a little thick and hard to keep out of the way. I haven't experienced any skipping or problems in the few months Ive owned it. My only compaint is that to change the disc you need to remove the cables from the main screen, take the entire thing out of the case and open it up. Overall a decent item for the money.

The price was good, but the jury is still out on the quality. It plays fine most of the time but occasionally the picture will flicker and do other things like its going to go out.
