Coby TF-DVD7050 7-Inch TFT Portable Tablet-Style Portable DVD Player
Great for the money, but you should know...
Everything you need to know about this player is addressed in the multitude of reviews on this site.  The total number of reviews (almost all of which are positive) is a clear indicator that this is a great product.  I hope to summarize everything I learned in my research, and now my experience, in this review. <br /> <br />I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what DVD player(s) I wanted to purchase for an upcoming road trip.  I wanted to be able to address the needs of my wife, dealing with a toddler on a daily basis, while also providing a solution for a teenager, pre-teenager and toddler on road trips.  Eventually, I decided on purchasing two of these players and I am glad I did.  I give the player an overall rating of 4 stars because there are some small things that Coby could have done to make the product perfect. <br /> <br />The Good - what set this product apart for me <br />*Compact and rugged design, everything feels well constructed on this player <br />*All accessories are included (headphones, cables, headrest mounting bag, remote, car charger, wall charger, desktop stand) <br />*Decent sound and image quality <br />*Easy to use <br />*Price <br /> <br />The Bad - what to be aware of before you buy <br />*Clamshell disc loading, the player must be removed from the provided case to change discs <br />*The headrest mounting bag does not provide a snug fit, when attached to seats, it tends to flex and bend, potentially covering buttons or connections <br />*The headrest mounting bag covers the IR receiver for the remote control (I was able to work around this with a hole punch) <br />*The desktop stand is flimsy and not very secure <br />*The device cannot be used as a monitor (no A/V in).  This means that you cannot hook up a video game system, and you cannot connect two together to watch one video. <br />*The screen is relatively easy to scratch.  I would recommend purchasing an adhesive screen protector (preferably one that can be reapplied).  These can be found from a variety of sources on the web. <br /> <br />Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and hope to get quite a lot of use out of these.  I purchased a two year extended warranty for each, just in case.
