LMD-7970 7-Inch Dual Screen Portable DVD Player

Just got this in today (03/7/2012) I could not find one review for this product and took a chance. Why partial because I need to see how it holds up and more testing, however I will tell you what I do know.Device looks nice and sturdy, good picture and lots of picture options for a great price.You can adjust Brightness, Saturation, Hue, Contrast, add a password,audio and other picture adjustments.DVD, CD, Home burned DVD regular and MP4, home burned CD (Copy) work fine, JPEG files work also. What did not work were Music MP3 (See's file won't play it, Movies burned to CDR do not work (will read title but not play).Audio from device is ok not too loud but just enough, picture can be viewed from angles and looks good, I like the controls at the front of device, but remote is really handy, once you get it down. Movement or bouncing does not affect this device it just keeps playing without a hitch!!What I do NOT like, Device opens from top and is somewhat ackward, I could not get the memory to work when powered down it would just restart movie (Bummer) it does have an option for memory but does not seem to work? No Headphones.Thats all for now, will update once I take it for a ride in the car and child test it as well.. Seems like a nice device, better than the nasty Sylvania I had before it that only lasted me one trip. Hope this helps for now.Also forgot the picture they have on this site is not the actual one, if you scroll further down you will see the real picture of the item.UPDATE 06/2012....I have now officially used the dvd player on 3 road trips, one was an 8 hr drive, all I can say is it has held up well, outlasting my 5 yr olds wear and tear, another cool thing we have done is connect a controller that has built in video games and works perfect. This was a steal for me. One thing that surprised me was the way to hook it up the passenger headrest, I thought for sure it would not work, boy was I wrong, works perfect, fastens and tightens very well, who would have known.

I don't know what more you could expect. I am totally pleased with this purchase. I read reviews from every product out there and considered purchasing the larger 9" screen model for 3x the cost, but worked perfectly. We took a vacation and the drive time, round trip, turned out to be around 20 hours. The two DVD players never missed a beat. When we would stop and turn off the car the DVD player would remember the spot where the movie stopped at and start right back up at that location, rather than having to start the movie from the beginning which is a problem with some other models out there. We LOVED!!! that this player included a remote. Talk about making life easy, however, the remotes only work when pointed at the front of the player. It's a lot easier to lean back and push the play button on a remote than it is to get out of your seat belt and climb over the center console to push the play button on the DVD player. Our 5 year old understood how to work the unit very quickly - in fact, we only had to change the movie two times before she figured out where the play and pause button were on the front of the unit. I would say that the audio was a bit quiet, but our kids never complained that they couldn't hear the movie and that was my observation from the front seat. Plus, my kids would occasionally put their head phones on and listen to a movie that way. Overall, I would buy this product again and I would refer other people to it. These things weight next to nothing, but they seem to have some quality to them. They do feel like you are holding piece of plastic. The screen quality was very good, I have no complaints with anything. They also strapped to the backs of the head rests very easily and were solidly in place. I think the three wires that connected the two DVD players together measured about 4' long so if you are thinking of having one player in the middle row and another in the back row I don't think that will work unless you purchase some new wires. The player can only play one DVD at a times well. You do not have the option of playing say Car's on one player and Cinderella on the other. Hope that answers all your questions and concerns.

Got this DVD for car trips in May. Had issues from the beginning. The volume and screen brightness are very low. Tough to see in any sunlight and hard to hear over road noise. Sound was better with head phones. It worked ok for the summer, but began having trouble tracking to start a disk. Once a disk starts it would play fine, but have been unable to get any disk to track for over a week now.

Everything worked fine and then 1 day, it just stopped reading the disc, like all the other negatives on here.Spend a little more and get something that's going to last longer than a few months.

This seems like a simple, straight forward installation, however there are a few issues. To begin the cable connecting the two units had and end broken off which rendered the remote head useless. Fortunately the dealer quickly replaced the cable with a second one.The power cable while long enough for most needs seems very thin and flimsley.The cable connecting the two heads is kind of short leaving very few routing options and thereby leaving the cable where active little people in the back seat may be able to damage it.The controls on both units are are on the right side of the respective units. The driver can reach behind his/her head to turn the unit on/off etc. and adjust the volume, but the controls for whichever unit is on the right seat are out of reach.It remains to be seen how useful the remote will be.The straps for holding the heads in place are ackward and hard to figure out.For the money I guess it's ok, but we'll look a little harder at the design next time.
