Better than I thought

Got this bad boy for Christmas. (A gift from me to me) I totally love it! This is my first portable DVD player, so I don't have much to compare it to.

Pros: The big screen is great, clear, bright and adjustable. The video input is a great feature. I love the magnetic hold downs and the swivel and lay flat screen! The USB and CARD readers are a nice touch, although not something I will use much. 2-3 hour battery life is great, and since it includes the cigarette lighter plug, you can use it on a plane or car for as long as you like.

Cons: The buttons feel a little cheap and plasticy, and as the disc slows down as the laser reaches the outer parts of the disc (towards the end of the movie), the player emits a high pitch whine that can be annoying. 4.5 hour battery charge time seems really long.

Conclusion: I paid $180 for it, and feel its worth every penny, as I could not find anything else above 7 inches for less than $200. It is a lot of gadget for the money.
