I have owned this DVD player for a few weeks, and i have to say it has saved me from boredom on alot of trips. Its easy to use, just attach a charged battery pack, lift the screen, throw in a DVD and let it play as a normal DVD player would.

7'' active- matrix TFT screen
The picture on the screen isnt brilliant, and you will often find yourself adjusting the screen if u are a car and the light is always changing. In order to get the best picture the brightness must be on full and the screen must be level with your eyesight. But it is bearable. The screen size is also much larger than many others i have seen.
Also plays CDs and VCDs.

The 2 channel sound does sound odd, on many DVDs it seems to play soundtracks alot louder than louder than actual dialogue in films, but again this is bearable, and is adjustable depending on the DVD's options.

2.5-hour rechargeable lithium ion battery pack
The real pain though is that the battery power will be used up very quickly, usually leaving enough time for one movie to be seen. Forunatly if you have a power supply handy you can just plug the player in(using the very oddly shaped plug supplied). Also contains a car battery

Remote control
Very slim remote control is easy to use, maybe to small thought, easy to misplace. But does it job fine.

Also a word of warning, there is some debate about whether staring at the screen too long can damage your eye
