Coby TF-DVD8501 8.5" Slim Portable DVD Player with Swivel Screen

8.5" Widescreen TFT Portable DVD/CD/MP3 Player with super slim design and swivel screen with 180 degree rotation. The 8.5" widescreen has a 16:9 TFT color display and anti skip circuitry.

Customer feedback:
1. This is a fantastic item. I bought this because I needed to replace a Toshiba player that had died on me (less than 1 year from the date I bought it), and I tried a couple of units. First, I tried an Audiovox 7" unit, but it didn't work properly. Then, I ordered the Coby player. It worked as soon as the battery was charged (about 4 hours), and it played straight for about 3.5 hours before I needed to recharge the battery or plug in the AC adapter. I am very pleased with the swivel feature also. It allows you to make a "book" out of the unit. It comes with a cover that holds the book on the back of the driver's seat or the front passenger seat, so that the kids can watch video in the car (plus there are 2 headphone jacks and 2 headphones provided)! To me, this little machine was more than worth the money.
2. I just got the unit yesterday so I don't know how it will stand up in time, but I was really surprised by the excellent sharpness and picture and sound clarity. Some might be turned off by the Amazon specs showing the weight at 5 lbs. This is erroneous. The unit is quite light--I would say under 2 lbs. with the battery. It comes with a surprising amount of accessories. Car seat attachment, 2 sets of headphones and a remote (which many much more expensive units don't include).
