We got good use from the unit for lengthy car trips for kids. However, screen died just after warranty period, too expensive to fix compared to price paid. from Msn.com This DVD player is the pitts! I have replaced it on 3 different occasions and it breaks with in 30-45 days. I will not replace it again. from Amazon.com I guess overall the Mintek 5" Portable DVD Player is an average product that certainly could have been much worse. Before purchasing this DVD player, I had already owned two DVD-playing devices (that is, a PS2 and an Xbox). from Amazon.com The video that it outputs is too dark. I was puzzled so I tested it on a professional video monitor. Instead of outputting a video signal with the "black level setup" value at 7.5 IRE (the standard for American NTSC televisions), the Mintek is outputting a signal at 0 IRE (the NTSC-Japan and PAL standard). This is not changeable. from Amazon.com Took six weeks for a replacement. Opened the box, still broken. Returned it to the Mintek company and that is the last I have seen of it. It has been three months of long distance phone calls to a company that really does not care. from Amazon.com Like a number of other reviewers before me, this unit has a problem with the backlight dying. There is still a picture, but on an LCD with no backlight you can't tell. from Amazon.com We received this as a gift for my 2 and 4 year old children. We loved this item until the screen died! We have had this less than a year, and haven't used it that much. from Amazon.com I've had the Mintek DVD player for ONLY 6 months and it just died. It still has audio, however no picture! from Amazon.com I have had this portable DVD player for well over a year now and have never had any problem with it; the picture and sound quality have always been great. It has lasted 5 car trips and has traveled on 8 planes, and has never let me down. from Amazon.com This item was so new last year, and hard to find, that I wasn't able to read any reviews. The unit died on us one year and one week after purchase - in the middle of a 17 hour car trip (I have an 8 year old boy). My parents are on their second Mintek DVD unit because the first one lasted only a few months; it was still under warranty. The screen on ours no longer works - kind of an expensive CD player... from Amazon.com
