Mintek MDP-5861 5-Inch Portable DVD Player
Impulse buy that paid off
I bought this DVD player as I was leaving for a roadtrip. I planned to resell it on an online auction after the roadtrip, but ended keeping it because it is a good product. I now use it on trips, and on a normal TV at home (it has AV output for use at home).       I did get a scare when it did not read a DVD once, but noticed that you need a little more strength than usual to click the disk in place. The player did a good job reading disks on bumpy roads.      Another issue is that you must use the remote to use all of its features. Seems silly that you need a remote when you can't be too far from the small screen, but that's the way it is.      If the DVD you play has subtitles in English, French or Spanish, the size of the subtitles is readable.      The player gives off some heat. If given to children, maybe you shouldn't let them put it directly on their laps. The player may not harm them, but its heat isn't be comfortable either.      I have owned this player for 5 months. I have used it often.
