Nextbase 10.1" Tablet-Style Portable DVD Player ALL-REGION, 100v - 240v, Play ANYWHERE, Headrest Mounts Included Reviews
So I have to admit I was a bit disappointed once I opened the box. For the price I was expecting Apple type build quality and fit-and-finish, but it wasn't. Don't get me wrong, this is a very nice unit compared to the competitors, but it's no small set-top replacement. The screen quality is above average for an in-car type DVD player, but well below something like an ipad or samsung small lcd tv. The view area is excellent. The sound quality is good, but the max volume is relatively quiet. I get the sense that they really expect you to use headsets. There are very few buttons on the unit, and those buttons have dual functions (quick press is pause, long press is off, etc.); so you'll need to use the included remote to get to things like the DVD menu easily -- this is by far the worst part of the unit. They do give you a way to get to these functions without the remote, but it involves navigating through an onscreen menu system. Tough to do when your kids are being obnoxious on a car trip.br /br /The car mount is better than any I have every used (I've probably owned about 5 different units). The straps go over the top of the headrest instead of around the headrest. This makes it very secure. That said, it didn't fit my Ford Flex rear seat headrests right. I was pretty sure it wouldn't; so I had to fabricate something out of foam to make it work right. I don't think the stanchion mounts NextBase offers would have worked either.br /br /All in all, the best in-car DVD solution I've found. My kids seem to like it better than the dual 7" system it replaced. The integrated battery is perk. For less I think it might have got 5 stars.

Nextbase 10" - H. Chung -
My Coby DVD player just broke down and I've decided to spend a couple more dollars and go for something more sturdy. I think I've found the right one. br /br /This Nextbase DVD player has excellent picture quality. Comes with 2 wireless headphones (got them from promotion). Even without the headphones, the speakers have good sound. br /br /I used it mostly in cars. It comes with a mount that has adjustable straps and can be tightly mount behind any type of headrest. The player secures right at the eye-level of the backseat passengers.br /br /It's not very heavy considering that it has a built-in rechargeable battery. It got a nice carrying case for the player, remote and fits my DVDs well. It has an USB port and basically reads every disc format. An excellent choice for travel.
