Initial IDM-1731 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD
Great Bang for the Buck
I picked this up to use on the treadmill at the gym. I can't just look blankly at a wall for 60-90 mins!  I've used it for over 75 hours so far (I plug it in a nearby outlet) without any problems.  The volume is great, picture quality is good. I gave it 4 stars because of 2 really stupid omissions: 1) the lack of contrast in dark images and no way to adjust the contrast. Brightness can be adjusted, but that only goes so far. 2) When viewing a movie at 100%, there's a 1/2\\" to 1\\" border all around the image.  If you do a \\"full screen\\" view, the image fills the screen, crops part of the top, and stretches/distorts the image to fit. Zooming \\"squares\\" off the image leaving a 2\\" border left and right!  Why not just fill the entire screen and use the correct proportions?!?  I've tried combinations of zoom and full view, etc. No option or combination of options utilizes the entire screen except the distorted fit option.
