GoVideo DP8240 Off-Road Portable DVD Player with 8.4-Inch LCD Screen
not what expected
I had read good reviews on this DVD player elswhere so I was disappointed when I received it.  First of all, there are no Impact Shield rubber edges as pictured and diagrammed on the box it came in and advertised online.  The rubber edges were one of the reasons I purchased it.  (There is rubber on the player, just not on the edges).  I was able to get music CDs, JPEG picture files, and DVDs to play easily.  The sound quality was poor for the music.  It sorted of sounded like an old speaker for the car at a drive-in movie theater.  The sound is improved with good quality headphones though.  While the color is very good, the picture is sometimes very \\"pixelated\\", especially for small words (such as in the menus), small fast moving objects, and outdoor scenic views.  The lid to the DVD spinner is flimsy and I can see how it would break easily.  All the inputs and outputs, however, are great.  There has been no skipping or jumping of the movies while riding in the car which is another primary reason I purchased it.  It is a good size and weight for carrying around.  The rubber on the bottom does a good job of keeping the player from slipping off whatever it is set on.  While I do find it acceptable, it was not the great DVD player I had read about and was expecting.
