Coby TF-DVD7050 7-Inch TFT Portable Tablet-Style Portable DVD Player
COBY, is this really you?
Ok.  First off, I have to say, I've only owned this for a few days, but I felt I had to write a review. I originally bought a DUAL XDVD-180 a couple of weeks ago. I gave that unit a really good review after only a few days as well, and it turned out to be TOTAL junk (the review has since been deleted). Never, and I mean NEVER, buy that unit. I'd go into detail, but I'd just end up getting mad over it. To make a long, painful story short, I'll just say the thing overheated and froze an hour into any DVD I tried to play.    I'm only reviewing the COBY TF-DVD7050 this early, because I can tell by the build quality, that it is obviously better. I'm glad I returned the faulty DUAL XDVD-180 to Amazon and bought the COBY. I can't even believe I'm saying I'm glad I bought a COBY, since they are usually notorious for producing junk.     This unit offers the best bang for the buck that I have ever seen in a DVD player of this sort. It feels extremely well made (with some metal parts even) and seems very durable.  The unit seriously reminds me of a Panasonic Toughbook in some ways, although I doubt it's THAT well built. It is, however, the toughest portable DVD player I've ever felt.     The unit came with a headrest mounting bag. It came with two sets of headphones, and has two headphone jacks on the unit. It plays SVCD, VCD, DVD-R, DVD+R, and J-PEG. It came with a tape player adapter that allows the player to be heard through your car speakers (the unit does have its own speakers though). It also has a picture frame style, retractable stand on the back to hold it up on a table for easier viewing. The big surprise about those particular features is that, they aren't even listed in the product description. Yes, that is correct; those features are in addition to everything listed in the product description.   Everything that is listed in the product description is included, and works extremely well.    I also love how this unit comes with a battery, which makes it handy for flights.  The 30 dollar more (and major piece of junk) DUAL XDVD-180 didn't even come with one.    The only possible con I can come up with is that, the LCD screen isn't the sharpest I've seen on a portable DVD player, but it's still really good.   So, unless this thing just stops working all of a sudden, like the DUAL XDVD-180 did, the COBY TF-DVD7050 is the best possible deal ever for a TABLET STYLE portable DVD player.   At a mere 150 dollars, you can't go wrong with it.    I'll update my review on this surprisingly great unit in about a month, but for now it looks like COBY has a big time winner on its hands. Who knew?
