Comment: Great player for the money! Rating:
I just ordered this based on the reviews it received. I was in the market for a DVD player and had been doing some research. I can't believe how fast it arrived, in less than 4 days!!

My mom has an Apex 7" and the colors on the Mintek are much better as is the quality. It makes a little noise once it starts a disc but otherwise pretty good. My mom paid $278 for hers without the headphones, jacks or bag.

My only complaint is that in the car if the sun is especially strong you will have a hard time adjusting it for the passengers to see. My minivan has tinted windows so it is alittle easier but my husband's car does not and it made it hard to see the screen for a little bit. All in all a great player!

Comment: Finally, a complete package, region-free Rating:
Most of these players (along with just about every other electronics device) skimp on cables, adaptors, batteries in order to keep their costs down or to upsell you on accessories. In some cases (USB devices are notoriously bad), you can't even operate the things without buying more stuff, and it ends up adding 10% to 25% to the price.

These folks proudly seem to provide everything and then some. Not only are they thoughtful enough to include a Y-adaptor so two headphones can listen in, they actually give you 2 headphones. Also included: car power adaptor, remote control, good carrying case, and it plays burned CDs. The may or may not matter to you, but it is region-free so you can buy + play DVDs from other counties (certain titles aren't available in the U.S. or released later).

These devices are going to evolve so quickly that it really doesn't make sense beyond the minimum amount on one. I'm sure the next generation will have things like DVD-R and firewire so you can dump files from your video camera, 40GB hard drives and iTunes software, 3x the battery life, etc.

Comment: Sooo Cool! Rating:
I love this player, its soooo cool! I have had this for a week or 2 and it has worked great. It comes with everything you need. The picture is great, the sound is good too. If you have it up all the way it can even be a little to loud. While you are watching the movie the player makes no buzying or humming sounds like others. With the carring case they give you can hook it you in the middle of 2 seats or on a head seat. For the price you can't find a better one!!!!
