GPX portable DVD 
2008-05-05
I really love this DVD player. I use it all the time and it works just fine, however, the remote control does not appear to work. I bought new batteries and put them in the device and it's not working. Other than that, I'm happy with it.
Not excellent, not terrible

I got this GPX brand portable dvd player a couple days ago and am so far satisfied. It does everything I expect it to. I would give this product 5 stars even were it not for one annoying feature, or rather the lack thereof. There is no menu button on the player itself! If you don't have the remote control or have lost it you won't be able to access the menu of your dvd while you're watching the feature. The only remedy I see to this is to skip to the very last chapter and fast forward to the very end forcing the menu to come up. But who wants to do this? I am a pretty responsible person and am anal about keeping the remote together with the player so this is not too big a problem for me given the remote continues to work. But I definitely see the potential for frustration.
Some things I like include the carrying case and the screen. The picture is pretty sharp, and the sound is decent. And I didn't expect there to be a carrying case in the box but it came with the player which is very nice.
So overall this product is okay. I don't regret buying it but if I knew of the menu button issue beforehand I definitely would've picked a similar player that had such a button ON the player.
And I don't use PAL discs so the player not being able to actually play those types of discs don't bother me one bit, false advertising or not. Too bad for that reviewer though.
False Advertising

Just purchased GPX's PDL 805 to play Region 1 and 2 DVDs. The product description specifies it will play both NTSC and PAL. It DOES NOT. I tried to get technical support from the seller (no luck) AND from the maker - GPX.com. GPX's technical support told me it will play European DVDs only when ... hooked up to a PAL TV! Needless to say I didn't get a portable DVD player to keep it connected to a TV. What a bunch of nonsense. Don't buy it if you want to play PAL DVDs.
