No joke, this next review is totally cool and amazing and I think parents would love to get this and keep their kids entertained whether its at home or in the car on long road trips. I'd use it anyways so that I can have my own little personal screen. ;) I hate it when my SO's head covers the screen and I can't see anything. LOL...so with that, I bring to you the Coby 7" Dual-Screen Portable DVD Player for review.
I'm sure from my opening, you can tell I was really excited to receive this for review. This super portable player would fit easily into a briefcase or carry-on and technically, you could use just the main set if you'd like. It comes with a 7" widescreen display and dual screen system. By the way, dual-screen means there's 2 separate screens. I was confused by the terminology too but that doubles the awesomeness. The 2 separate headphone jacks allows your two kids their own headsets so that they can each enjoy the movie separately. Personally, I love this feature because I hate listening at the volume my SO does since it hurts my ears. The player also includes a built-in AV input jack so that you can hook it up to external devices, including VCRs and video game systems. It is DVD, DVD±R/RW, CD, CD-R/RW, JPEG, and MP3 compatible and has multiple language, subtitle, and camera angle support, parental lock controls, and even includes a car kit and remote control.
So I hooked it up and tinkered around with it. The instructions are fairly simple and straight-forward and within a minute or two, I had popped in my Spooky Buddies DVD and started watching the trailers. The video and sound quality were great. The main unit is the one you put the DVD in so its a little thicker than the secondary unit. The screen flips up to reveal the DVD reader. There are also stands on both the screens which unlock to allow you to prop the screens up like photo frames.
Besides being able to toggle the volume individually on either screen, you can also turn each individual set on or off so you don't always have to have two screens running if you don't need it. Did I mention the batteries are rechargeable? So, you don't have to keep it plugged in all the time! I also loved how it came with headrest mounts for both screens so you have everything you need to hook it up in your car. Coby really makes things easy on people and I look forward to hours of fun and enjoyment with this Dual Screen Portable DVD Player.

I have a Coby dvd player and it is really a good little player. It is nice to have when the electricity goes out so my son can watch something.
This would be very nice to have for traveling.
I love that there are stands on both of the screens. They thought of everything!
my little nephew would love this. He can't live without tv
I wish they had something like this when my kids were small, now I could use this while driving my two nieces around. Thanks for a great review.
