I bought one of those a couple of weeks ago from walmart and to be honest...it sucks!!!
Colors are way off and the resolution isn't even worth looking at jpeg's with. I took it back and got my $$$ refunded. Would not recommend.

That's my $.02 worth.

I got one, They subbed the Mustek brand with no rebate hassle BUT it sucks. That MOFO is going back this weekend. I think it looks like a dual scan LCD not ACTIVE Matrix.

Emprex 7" Portable DVD Player $97
Anyone use an Emprex brand? I'm using their DVD RW drive right now and it works well.

Here's the unit and specs on Outpost. I'm pretty sure this is it. Outpost wants $199

I looked at this yesterday and nearly bought it. The only reason I didn't was I already have one, but it only has a 4.4" screen. It is the best price I've seen for a 7" portable , especially without a rebate. The picture seemed decent so I think it's a good buy. I have a an Emprex 2.2 GB USB drive that still works fine so I wouldn't have a problem buying Emprex again.

This same player was $88 last week. I think i'll wait fot that again. NO hurry.
