Initial IDM-1731 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD
Great quality for the price
After much agonizing about the cost of portable dvd players, we found this one at an amazing price.  With some hesitation, based on reviews and lack of familiarity with this brand, we bought one prior to a recent 3-hour airplane trip with our three year old daughter.  We were pleasantly surprised with the picture and sound quality (especially at this price!), and the battery lasted exactly a full three hours.  And, despite a bumpy flight and an even bumpier 1-hour ride to our destination, we didn't experience one skip or problem.   The only thing that was even slightly disappointing is that the battery doesn't \\"lock\\" onto the unit very securely and is potentially left dangling by the plug.  Not a problem, considering that our usage will be occasional, just something we had to be aware of when we were picking the unit up or moving it.  Also, be aware of the fact that this unit doesn't come with headphones.  The other accessories are all there, though - car adapter, battery charger, cables to hook up to TV, etc.  Sure, we would have felt more comfortable with a name brand like Panasonic or Toshiba, but at this price, this little machine was wonderful for our purposes.  We've been very pleased so far!
