Nextbase MEDIA22

Advantages: All Region! Very Affordable
Disadvantages: Pricy but worth the money

...I was doing some product comparison. I found a Nextbase DVD player vendor at a local autoshow. Initially, i figured it would be the same as the COBY or other cheap brand that I could find at the local electronics store. This brand is truly unique. The person who was demonstrating the player actually took the player and tossed it on the table! No Skips! I've never seen a dvd player take that kind of abuse. I was also impressed to see that you could easily mount these dvd players in the car without any problems. I've been to Costco and seen the ones that come with a big bag that wraps around the entire seat of the car. Too much hassle! Now let's talk about picture quality. These players really win on this one. My old clamshell design player started heating up after 2 hours of play. Not only did these screens stay cool, but I could see... Read review

Disadvantages: None

...What a product!!! And what a steal at £279!!! Read on!!! 2-Year Warranty!!! We bought one of these last year from Incardvd for a long camping holiday over the summer. It kept our son occupied in the back of the car watching his own DVD's on the wireless headphones. The when we were camping we used it in the evening and watched TV on it's built-in Freeview digital and analog tuner. (Antenna included in box) The screen size is great at 10.2 inches and the carry case protects it really well. It plays all of our DVD's and CD's (including multi-region, DiVX, MP3, CDR, CD+R and CD-R. It even has a USB port It has power supply for car and mains so is pretty versatile too. Having not heard of Nextbase before we were a little worried but now if we have to replace this at any pont we will buy Nextbase again.... Read review

..."Are we there yet?...I'm bored" is the phrase most parents hate to hear when on a longer trip in the car (except apart from "I'm going to be sick....blueurghhhhhh"). My daughter seems to have discovered both. Having seen that newer cars are coming with DVD players as standard I thought I would have a look at a low end portable player to stick in the car and also use in the house when the main TV is busy with soaps. Nextbase sell under a variety of names including "Voyager" so you may see the exact same model with a different badge. The SDV77 is the entry level 7" screen top loading DVD player that has now been upgraded to play DiVX, whatever that is! It is also multi-region. The player costs between £120-£150 and comes fully bundled with manuals, mains charger, incar charger, small earpieces, av cable, remote, headrest mounting... Read review
