| sandykb's Full Review: Apex Digital PD-450 5 in. Portable DVD Player |
I bought this unit for a long car trip, to keep the kids occupied. The quality of the picture was fine, and the sound was OK -- much better with headphones. My kids (7 & 9 years old) could operate it without any problems. Worked wonderful for the entire trip. A bonus was that we could hook it up to the TV in the condo where we were staying and watch DVDs on the TV. That was in July 2004. We did not use it again until our car trip at Thanksgiving 2004 and the player basically stopped part way through a movie. Wouldn't do anything. Just froze up. Ever since then, we have been able to watch a part of a movie and after about 20 minutes, it begins to stutter and then just freeze up. Won't come back on. When we load a DVD, it just spins and eventually says "no disc."
So even though it was wonderful when we got it, I certainly expected to be able to use it for more than one trip and that has not turned out to be the case.
