CyberHome CH-LDV 1010RS 10-Inch Portable DVD Player
Sylish...best 10" for the Price
I bought Cyberhome CH-LDV1010RS from Fry's Electronics and not from Amazon. When I bought it I couldn't find any review. So I thought it's good to write a review to help others like me. This piece was available on internet for much less than what I spent, but I simply couldn't resist to get it when I saw it in Fry's. It's thin design stuck my eyes and I kept going again and again to confirm everything is alright and finally bought it. <br />Now lets get to the point. <br />The best part about this product is it's slim design. There are 10\\"dvd players in that price, but it wont work in 240 Volt or play PAL DVDs. So thats a good news for those who are traveling to Asia or Europe like me. I played it side by side with $600/$700 Panasonic, Tosiba, Sony alongwith other cheaper brands. The picture quality is not as good as compared to Panasonic or Samsung. But with the price in mind I would say, Its a good deal. I couldn't find any lines on the screen, like you see in cheaper brands. The black is not really black like in panasonic. It has a overall slight greenish tone. Sound without the headphone is ok if there is no other noise. It has component/S-Video/Composite video out and Digital Audio output. At first I was a little puzzuled as I could see only one video and one audio connnections(unlike other where you have video in and out and audio in and out), then I came to know that you can change the video output to viedo input by simply pressing a botton. <br />The most disappointing thing is that, it CAN NOT play my backup DVDs(DVD-R) well, as it has been advertised. Sometimes it plays fine. But at the end it keeps skipping and got stuck. I have noticed that once it got stuck it can't recognize the DVD AT ALL. Then you give it sometime and it will play again. Original DVDs work fine. Seems like it has it's own mind. <br />Anyways,inspite of all this I would say it's a great DVD player in that price range.
