Polaroid PDV-0820 8" Swivel Widescreen Portable DVD Player
Looks great when it works - which isn't often
Bought one of these puppies for a car trip - very nice screen in the store, nice feature set, reasonable price.  Weird controls - volume is via a wheel on the main unit; can't be adjusted using the remote control.  Worked great for the first few hours, and then the screen went haywire - everything (including setup screens) gets awful ghost images, all of the colors except yellow disappeared, etc.  Tried checking all the setup screens, and reset everything to factory defaults, but it appears to be a hardware failure.  Very disappointing to the kids, and to the drivers when it didn't act as a pacifier... <br /> <br />The price was reasonable compared to other products in this space, but the quality was awful.
