Page 1 of 7" Portable dvd player £89.99 Argos

It`s a Venturer. Comes with case and all the bits. Audio/video inputs. Battery life quoted as two hours.Anyone know if these are any good? I picked one up one but not sure if I should hold on to it or not.
Cheers

I got one of these about a month ago when it was £99. It works pretty well, supports vcd, svcd, dvd-r (havent tried + or rw). The picture is great straight on, but poor if vertical angle is out by about 10 degrees or more, the picture is ok to maybe 40 degrees horizontal, but obviously not as good as straight on. It has two headphone sockets which is useful I guess.

I haven`t had a chance to test out the battery, I have read on other forums that 2 hours is a little optimistic, but don`t know myself.

Comes with everything you could ever need:- carry case, mains and 12v adaptor, battery/charger, headphones, a/v in/out connector, scart adaptor, headrest mounting straps.

One critisism is that changing the discs isn`t easy when it is in the carry case, since the webbing holding the player in covers the lid, to do it properly involves sliding the player out of the case. We just lift it a 1/4 and slide the disc in and out, it is more likely that damage will occur either to the disc or the player this way though.

I think it was a very good buy (even though these will be £50 in six months time), anything that keeps the kids quiet and entertained on long journeys gets my vote.
