Magnavox MPD720 7-Inch Portable DVD Player
Excellent player!
I just bought this player from Wal-Mart, and thus far, have no complaints. My mother, right now, has pnemonia, and is in the hospital. She calls me and tells me she is very bored, and so I decided I would let her be the first to use the player. We hooked up the battery, and started charging it, and decided to give the player a test run while it was plugged in. We watched 2 movies on it. (keep in mind this was not drawing from the battery, but rather from the hospital's power) Sleepy Hollow, and Pirates of the Caribbean. And I have one word which does not do this player justice: BEAUTIFUL. The picture was amazing, my mom's friend, who was sitting at the other side of the room, said he had no problems seeing the screen. I thought the picture was very crisp. The built-in speakers are good for one or two people in a car, maybe, and I certainly could hear it fine as it was sitting in front of me, but to entertain a large group, you would want to hook the player up to larger speakers. <br /> <br />Some people say the case it comes with is small, and I could see how they may think that, but my sick mother, had no problem packing the DVD player in, along with all of it's equipment. (And she's 'technologically impaired'!) But, for the bottom line, I will list the pros and cons I have found on this DVD player. <br /> <br />Pros: Excellent picture quality <br />optical zoom-play <br />comes with car adapter, carrying case, and highly responsive RC <br />Dual headphone jacks <br />Long-lasting battery <br /> <br />Cons (of what I have found thus far): <br />The buttons are slightly difficult to press on the actual player itself <br />Built-in speakers were louder in Pirates than on Sleepy Hollow <br /> <br />And I found the battery just SLIGHTLY difficult to attach, but that might just be me. As you can see, I've only found minor problems, and I would highly reccomend this DVD player for road trips, or even if you're just stuck somewhere for a few hours/days!
