Initial IDM-9520 Portable DVD Player with 4-Inch LCD and Car Kit
Quite the powerhouse for such a little guy.
I recieved this thing today for christmas.. Holy smokes I was impressed. Let me break this down for you. <br />Sound quality is impressive. Accurate, precise, and loud! Compatibility is amazing. I had an MP3 CD i burned about a month ago that had a few videos on it. I never expected this thing to play MPEG videos from a list, not only that, but these videos weren't standard compliance. I had one at 352x288 with a bitrate of 1600kbps, completely non-VCD complient, This monster played it no problem. I had MPEG2s that were non-complient.. Meh, no problem for it. As I was coming back from the family get-together, we live on a dirt road. I thought I'd stick it on the dashboard to test durability. It was pretty darn good. It froze twice when we nailed huge potholes, but I don't hold thgat against it. It recovered quickly and was back in the game, considering it bounced up from the force, it's pretty good. Battery life is good also, a single charge from earlier is still going strong. As for picture quality, Simply amazing. That's all I can say about it. Crisp, sharp, bright, and it doesn't have a problem with high-motion, something I worried about.<br />The only minus that I must give this thing is this.. Color accuracy is somewhat off. On one of the videos, it's a &quot;Zone Music Video&quot;, there is a dark blue circle that spins in during the intro. It appeared a bit too bright of a blue. I cannot hold that aginst it, it is a very small flaw, but still enough to drop it down to 4 stars. Also, if you plan to watch subtitled-anime, you may want to consider a larger screen. It looks crisp and great, but the subtitles are hard to read. They appear a bit liney and somewhat pixelized. It's a four-inch screen, I expected that. If you are looking for a great portable DVD player for a good price, DEFINATELY go with this one. You can't possibly go wrong with it. I am impressed by it. It's not worth it's value, it's definately worth more than amazon asks for.<br />My personal CDplayer has some issues lately, this thing is small enough to fit in my coat pocket. I think this thing will get quite the workout!
