Bought two years ago from JTF Wholesale for £50. Was very good, for its price. It isn't a feature rich DVD player but it does give you the basic things. Picture quality on the 7 inch screen is average, if you look closely you can see pixels, and the colours aren't very natural (skin tones too pale or too orange). If you hook it up to a TV using the included AV cable the quality is excellent. Battery life is good, it says 2.5 hours but I managed to get at least 2 hours. Charging it is easy too, red light mean charging, green means charging is complete. The sound is quite loud from the two speakers and very good if you plug in your own set of headphones. The remote is nice and slim but the flat buttons are hard to press. The DVD lid is creaky and feels cheap, one of my hinges has broken.

I received this dvd player as a gift from work. I knew they wouldn't have spent very much on the gift and was therefore expecting the worst from the player. However, I was pleasantly surprised. For the price you are paying this dvd player is perfect. It is simple to use, great picture quality and the sound is excellent. Some portable dvd players are far too complex for what the equipment is designed for - this is why the DVDP 722 is ideal. It does ...
