I have only had this dvd player for a few days but so far am very impressed with the design, quality and durability of this product. I actually did not buy it from Amazon but found it at my local grocery store just before Christmas for $79.99. I must admit I was a little apprehensive about this as there was no service plan, but for the price I took a chance. Wow! It has terrific picture quality and the design is very attractive, very sturdy. It has PLENTY of accessories which I love, including a remote control and car adapter.
The only thing that would make this product complete is a nice carrying case to keep everything together. Otherwise, I am very happy with my purchase!

when I was looking for a cheep but high rated portable, there isn't
many to choose from in the price range I was needing, when I found
this one I was a little carious with the four star rating thinking that
was too good to be true. But I've owned mine for two+ months
and is used on a daily basis and runs wonderfully,
I needed a player that runs my backup copy's of movies and this does it perfectly (dvdrs),
with the two headphone jacks its great when your traveling on a plane.
The video quality is wonderful, sound from the small
speakers are really good for their size and battery life is very nice as well.
This is a wonderful little item to have when a bad storm knocks
out the power in the house and your left with nothing to do as well.
it comes with a nice set of headpones, a car charger, house/wall charger and a little remote.

Before even starting reading this commentary go back and look at the features of this DVD player... Ok did you find it? Yes, it plays DVD+R/RW. If you have ever recorded a DVD only to find your portable would not play it, yup, instant buyer's remorse. This is a HUGE benefit for a DVD player under $100

Beyond recorded +R/RW DVDs, the most important aspects of this basic DVD player are that #1 It has a clear screen, #2 the speakers are good and clear for private play (if you need them louder you are probably disturbing the people around you), #3 it has very good battery life, #4 the controls are easy to use, and #5 it comes with all the accessories you need: DC car adaptor, headphones, and a remote.

If you just want a good, solid DVD player for airplane travel, car trips, or to keep your son or daughter busy in times of need, this is it! If you intend to view movies with someone else, you may want to go with a 10" screen and dual headphones.

I paid around $80 including tax and the CA (ultra liberal state mandated) battery recycling charge for the Coby, and the quality, reliability, and durability have far surpassed the cost! I've experienced the frozen screen syndrome now and then with recorded DVDs, it has skipped once or twice, but I do not know of a portable DVD player that has NEVER done that on occasion, especially with recorded DVD capabilites.

My final word on the Coby, pay the under $100 price and buy a 1 or 2 year replacement plan for $10 for peace of mind. If you are real picky about sound, want the screen to rotate, and care about all the other details... go ahead and spend $200. As for me, it is hard to pay attention to those minor details while sitting in a noisy airport. Spend the $80-$90, save the rest to improve your home system (or get a game system) and buy this one for travel and other away from home use.
