Initial IDM-1731 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD
Much room for improvement
I'll start with the good points: <br />1)Seems like an attractive price <br />2)Nice picture quality and respectable viewable angle  <br />3)Decent sound <br />4)Battery tends to last 3 hours or more <br /> <br />BUT, on the downside: <br />1)Quality control is poor - I had to return the first one which quit working after 3 or 4 movies <br />2)Flimsy hinge broke on second unit after a few months of infrequent use and very gentle handling by one user - me, so it no longer works and is probably cheaper to replace than fix <br />3)Easy to lose tiny remote and that means you lose many features and functions <br />4)Price is a bit high, considering. <br /> <br />I intend to buy a new player, but not another Initial IMD-1731. Hopefully the old battery will work as a spare with the new unit. (It's nice to watch really scary movies while camping in the woods.) <br />
