I have had many cheap or inexpensive players and several have broken. I have 3 kids 2 of which are in the disney movie age range. Those of you with kids knows this means one movie can be watched 10 times in a single week. It plays well and has nice features, even a volume feature on the remote so you dont have to hold both tv and dvd remote at the same time. The Pros: Plays all region dvd's. You may have to tweek the progressive options but this unit will play anything in a true dvr format ( not divx or AVi etc). This is a nice feayure if you order special versons of say english tv shows you enjoy not available here in the states and theyare in PAL format. The cost can't be beat and it is lightweight and very easy to hook up. The Cons: I love this unit except for one thing, the darn remote. You have to be lined up with the machine for it to recognize it, normally a remote will pick up anyplace in a room. Not this one, I guess they made the lil response window too small or something. I just remember to aim the lil unit towards me before the movie starts and problem solved. For the price I wont complain about that, otherwise it is perfect! It is a great lil unit, don't hesitate about buying one. GPX in my opinion works as well as some of these other classic brands. Stay away from Coby products, had 2 die 100% within 6 months...save your money. Hope this is helpful. Read more
Works ok for the price Read more
Great product for the price! It comes with a few quirks, but they're no big deal- remote needs to be in front of the dvd player to work & if you pause for anymore than 5 min then the whole unit shuts off. Like I said though, great deal! Read more
Bought this player thinking it would be a region 2 player - that is what I used to search on the Amazon website. So I decided to purchase one. But it just came in the mail, and it does not play region 2 discs. I called the 800 phone number to talk to someone about the problem, and was told that this player does NOT play region 2 discs. Please be forewarned that this player will not play region 2 discs. Also, the player has a real cheap tinny feel about it. I have been using the IVIEW player for the past couple of years and it has been an outstanding player - it is cheap, but it has been a great product. I bought this GPX, because the IVIEW is on its last leg. I would stay away from this GPX if you want to view discs made abroad.

This is a great DVD player. It plays quietly and smoothly and no hiccups even with my older DVDs. The DVDs that didn't play properly in my older player now play perfectly. I'm really happy with this DVD player and it has newer technology which makes it run better than the older DVD players. I didn't like the instructions that came with it because it just showed the yellow, red and white cables that go into the DVD player but didn't explain the differences on the back of the TV and very poor instructions for the use of the remote buttons, so I have no idea the use of multiple buttons.

Worked about 1 month, now it skips....alot Read more
I don't think I can say enough about this cheap little dvd player. It is just as described and I got lucky and didn't get a lemon. Yes it's cheap feeling, and yes the remote is tiny but it's also only $25. Here's my take...as long as companies insist on speed over quality, some lemons won't be found out until it's in your home, but this can happen on any electronic device. Just the nature of the beast. I used this extensively and for hours on end and it never heated up, never skipped and played just as well as any higher priced player I've owned. Buttons on remote are small so you may need a magnifying glass until you learn them, and yes, there is a very low hum when started but you can't hear it as all once disk starts. Read more
I paid $6 for this as "used-like new" from the Amazon warehouse. It came in the original packaging and is basically brand new. DVDs are basically VHS's at this point so I definitely didn't want to invest in a DVD player. This one is great, easy to set up and works as intended. Very happy with my purchase! Read more
