Apex PD-10 Portable DVD Player with 5.6-Inch LCD Screen
apex rules the world
if youre not aware of the apex brand, perhaps this little device will help you understand: apex and their multiple rebrands sell more dvd players than any other manufacturer in the world.  theres one reason why; apex makes stuff cheap-but-functional.  this player, like all other apex equipment ive ever tried, fits both those qualifications perfectly.<br />yes, it gets kinda hot; but does it really get hotter than other portable dvd players; i dunno.<br />yes, the battery is big; but how often will you really use it; it comes off and stays off easily.<br />yes, ya gotta use the remote to use mosta the onscreen menu functions; but are 4 on-board menu buttons really worth a difference of $100 or more?<br />yes, its a 4:3 screen, but small is small;  the difference between a 5&quot; and 7&quot; screen image isnt really all that great at this level... plus, youve probably been watching letterboxed movies for years now; this is no different, only smaller.<br />my bottom line: regardless of the few small compromises one must make to justify this player, you cant argue much about the cost.  no other full-featured, fully-fledged portable player can even come close!
