Magnavox MPD820 8-Inch Portable DVD Player
I guess that it could have been worse
I had the MPD820 for almost a year when it quit working.  I was living in Baton Rouge and my family was in Shreveport.  I had recently had a baby and was making the 10 hour round trip more than once a month.      So to be honest, I wasn't much surprised when the screen of my unit developed a short in it from all of the bumps in the road (the screen shifts in the sling as you drive).  At first, I just had to readjust the screen so that it would come on.  Eventually the entire screen went out.    I say that I wasn't surprised by the fact that it went out - mainly b/c I have little faith in anyone's quality of work anymore.  So few people take pride in what they build.  It is actually cheaper for Magnavox to replace those units which turn up defective within the first 90 days than it is to (a) build the unit correctly or (b) hire someone to fix those that have problems.    I will definatly think twice before buying another Magnavox.  I'm now in the market for a new DVD player.  I'm taking suggestions as I obviously am not good at picking one out myself.  ;) [...]
