Coby TFDVD7051 7-Inch Portable Tablet Style DVD/CD/MP3 Player, Silver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've owned 3 portable DVD players over the past few years.They tend to last a couple of years and for <$100, used routinely by children, moved about, rattled, run on Car and AC current, that seems acceptable to us.Sure beats having to take the entire car in for service because the DVD player that's built in is acting up ;->

This player is a no-name "Brand" - Coby.We got a Coby DVD player for free with a purchase a year ago and I gave it to my mother-in-law.She watches movies 3-4 nights a week with it and loves it.So, when I saw this tablet version from Coby that had all the features I wanted and was around $100, even though its a no-name brand, I bought it.

Wow, the description did not cover what comes with the player:
- remote w/ batteries
- 2 corded sets of headphones (the player has 2 headphone jacks!)
- AC power
- Car charger power cord
- headrest bag with attachments
- Cassette connector and cords for running audio through the cars audio
- A/V cords

It started right up, played without a hitch, has a nice picture, remote works like a charm, headphones both work and inserting them (in either outlet) cuts off the speakers (plus), easy controls on front, and the case is built to hold the player while revealing all the essential buttons-knobs-controls.

Only downside, so far, is that the cords are a wee but on the short side.

Coby TF-DVD7377 7-Inch DivX Compatible Portable DVD Player Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this as a gift and since there are no reviews for it, I thought that my review would help those that are thinking of buying this player.
First things first...

1)I PRIMARILY bought this so that I could have a portable DIVX or AVI player.I looked at all the other players and they either cost an arm or a leg or they were too big.
Let me say that it plays AVI/DIVX files without a hitch. I've watched numerous AVI files without a problem, and because this device handles DVD's and AVI files without a hitch, I give it a 5 stars!

2)The screen on this little 7 inch screen is awesome.Very clear and sharp.I bought another COBY tablet player a year ago, but it broke after about a year or use and the picture quality was not that great.This thing is WAYYYY better than that one was.

3)Battery life is pretty good.So far I've had it play non stop for over 2 hours without a problem.

4)Audio is great and also when you hook this thing up to a t.v. with the supplied cables the sound transfer well to the t.v.

Now the Negative....

1)The remote on this thing sucks big time!You have to be super close to the player and you pretty much have to have it pointed straight at it to work right.This is the same remote that they package with their other Coby players, a real piece of junk.

2)This thing is made almost entirely of plastic!The picture looks great and I thought I was buying a metal encased DVD player (the picture looks like a black matte metal case), but be warned, this thing feels cheap!The screen swivels around so that it can fold into a tablet style player and for that it's cool, very compact, but the screen also shakes a bit back and forth (because it swivels) and the latch to keep the screen closed is really a piece of junk.If I was grading on this feature alone I would have to give it a 2.I fear that it'll fall apart if I handle it too roughly.
I just can't get over how cheap this thing feels.

In case your wondering why I scored it so high, even though I trash the build quality. Well, it's because it does what I bought it for so well. If you want a DIVX/AVI player that handles these files without a hitch and you don't want to spend a bundle, then get this player.....just be warned of it's build quality. The build quality seems very crappy but I've only owned it for a couple of days.I will try to remember to update my review in a few months to let you know if this thing is holding up. (If I can figure out how to update my review).
If your wondering if would reccomend this item to you, I would have to say yes, but only for the reasons that I listed above...a great little Divx player! Hope this helps any potential buyers.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this item in Albuquerque.I played a DVD in my hotel room and discovered that after about 30 minutes, multiple white bars appeared at the top of the screen.I took it back to Circuit City and looked at 4 other identical players and they were all defective.I tried different DVD's and the same problem occurred.I took my original unit home to Kansas City and took it to Circuit City there and tested another Initial player and had the same problem.I ended up buying the new 7" Sony.It was $200 more.Sometimes you get what you pay for.

Coby TF-DVD1023 10.2-Inch Widescreen TFT Portable DVD/CD/MP3 Player with Swivel Screen, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the first time I have ever written a negative review of a product but I was so upset with this product I felt I should take the time to warn others.I bought this DVD player as a Christmas gift in Nov 08.I gave it to my husband as a gift and it stopped working in Mar 09.It would say it was loading the DVD and never advanced.We got about three months of use out of the player.I e-mailed Coby with no success.They never responded to my e-mail.I called and waited on hold for 20 minutes only to find out I had the serial number and not the model number.I called back a second time with the model number and waited on hold for 20 minutes before being cut off.I called a third time and waited on hold for over 20 minutes only to be told it was more than 90 days and there was nothing they could do to help me.I loved the thing for the three months it worked.I hated that it only worked for three months and the customer support was terrible.

Coby TF-DVD8503 8.5-Inch Widescreen TFT Portable DVD/CD/MP3 Player with Swivel Screen, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When the dvd player arrived I was really impressed with all of its features: 1. car mount for the headrest, 2. remote control, 3. swivel and 4. car charger.

Major Advantages: 1. extremely functional; 2. battery last for over 2 hours and if the battery runs low, you can always plug it into the the car charger; 3. the screen is large enough to view across the room; 4. you can use the remote from nearly 8 feet away and 5. most of all it works!! :>

Disadvantages: 1. you can not control the volume with the remote and 2. for the price, the material of the dvd player does not appear to be of quality (it feels like plastic).

All in all it is a great product and so far so good.My 2 year old received it for Christmas and he never leaves home without it!
