| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Good DVD Player, and I got it free!
This player is very convenient for long trips. If you want to save the money, you can get it Free from this web site: awesomestufffree.com/portabledvd | 5 | 817 days ago | Worth to buy
Sound and Picture clarity is good, I dislike the batery usage, not good for more than 2.5 hours movie. | 4 | 817 days ago | Not worth the price
My mom bought this DVD player for my kids this past Christmas. She paid $179, with the promise of a $30 rebate. It stopped working after a month. It runs and runs but nothing appears on screen. Unfortunately, she had purchased it two months in advance of giving it, so that the 90-day warranty had just run out. I called the company and explained that we had only had it since December. After a lot of back and forth, the only solution they offered is for me to give them $49 to fix it, or $79 to replace it. I would rather put $79 towards a real name-brand DVD player. (And the rebate has yet to arrive, two months later...) | 1 | 817 days ago | terrible
From the start it had trouble playing entire movies (the screen would freeze after about an hour). Then after 6 months of light use it stopped working all together (it wouldn't even recognize DVDs or CDs). | 1 | 817 days ago | The Initial IDM-1731 Portable DVD Player
I picked this portable DVD player out for Christmas two years ago. When comparing it to other models, it compared favorably. The Initial IDM-1731 had many of the features (large screen, progressive scan, decent battery life...) I was looking for at an average price at the time (around $250). A year later, I found myself quite frustrated with a virtually unusable DVD player; the hinges on the screen broke after a year of gentle use.

<br />Pros-
<br />
<br />�This DVD player has a nice sized seven-inch screen; if the screen were larger the player would be bulky; smaller, and the image is hard see. This screen is also wide, a good shape for wide screen movies.
<br />�Progressive Scan- Progressive Scan is a clearer way of projecting an image. With a regular TV, the vertical lines of pixels (blocks of color) on the screen are shown first, then the horizontal lines. Think of the vertical lines as odd numbers and the horizontal lines as even numbers. In a regular TV the image is displayed (1,3,5,7,9, ...) then (2,4,6,8, ...). With progressive scan, the image is displayed with alternating horizontal and vertical lines, (1,2,3,4,5,6, ...). This results in a sharper picture.
<br />�This player comes with a good accessories bundle. You get an A/C (wall) charger, a car charger, remote control, and A/V cables to hook it up to a TV.
<br />�Good anti-skip system. I never saw this DVD player skip, even on bumpy Michigan roads.
<br />�This DVD player can play several types of media. DVDs, CDs, MP3s, CD-Rs

<br />Cons-
<br />
<br />�The Hinges- Within a year the hinges cracked and broke, naturally right after it came off warranty. When they first broke, I was able to hold the monitor in place and continue to watch movies. Now, the damage is more extensive and the player is nearly completely useless. There are two small metal parts located in the hinges that must be in contact for the screen to work, not a wire. The hinges on this player are | 2 | 817 days ago |
