Initial IDM-1731 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch LCD
Great little player.
I purchased this portable DVD player a little over a year ago as a birthday present for myself. Both my wife and mother-in-law chided me for buying the unit - what could I possibly want with a portable DVD player? <br /> <br />A few months later, south Florida was hit by four hurricanes, we were without power for over eleven days. Guess what we did while there was no power? Yep, we were at least able to watch movies to pass the time. During the day, I would charge the batteries up using the car, and then we would watch at least two movies at night before the batteries were discharged.  My wife now thinks I made a very wise decision to buy the unit - as it helped save our sanity during the 11 days we didn't have ac power. <br /> <br />We have since used the unit on long auto trips, in hotels that didn't have anything worth watching on their televisions, and on our long weekends in our travel trailer. <br /> <br />The only problem we have ever experienced is one hinge doesn't work properly, but that doesn't seem to hamper us using it or its' operation. <br /> <br />Although it isn't a \\"name\\" brand (that I am aware of), the unit works great and like any portable sophisticated electronics, it needs a little tender care. <br /> <br />Hope this helps in your decision as to whether to buy this unit or even whether to buy a portable DVD player at all. <br /> <br />
