GoVideo DP 8440 8.4-Inch Portable DVD Player
The best I've seen for the price
I have looked at several players before deciding to keep the GoVideo DP8440.  The other player that I retured was the RCA DRC618N tablet style player. <br /> <br />I read MANY reviews on the DP8440...some of which are slightly accurate.  I mainly play burned DVD-R & DVD+R disks on my player and found this player to play anything and everything without pauses.  My biggest problem with other players have been their inability to read burned DVDs and some that were a little smudges and scratched.  I ran this model through about 7 disks and played them in full before giving it my thumbs up. <br /> <br />As far as the video quality...I think it could be better, but the size of the screen more than makes up for my unhappiness with portable player resolutions.  This issue is not unique to this player.  The best way to test it is try to read the credits to a movie.  For the most part, the text is pretty jaggy. <br /> <br />The audio quality from the speakers isn't great, but what do you want?  It is a portable unit with 1\\" speakers. <br /> <br />The quality of the case and buttons is fine, but the buttons do seem kinda cheap.  The remote is nice and the instructions thorough. This player does not come with any kind of case, so make sure you budget another $40 to shop for a case. <br /> <br />I can't give it 5 stars just because of the lack of a carrying case and the resolution on the video I think could be better, and the quality of the buttons.
