Shinco SDP-1720A DVD Player

While its cheap offering price is enticing, issues with the physical design and build quality make the Shinco SDP-1720A a less than appealing portable DVD option.

Inexpensive ; Supports a wide range of formats ; Plenty of accessories supplied

Noisy motor ; Video quality only average

These items are great when they work but no matter how you try. Shinco WILL NOT reply. I thought it was a good item but without support I would naver recommend buying. Stick to a wel known company

"Very good, but"

Noisy at first but soon calms down, neat size, good screen. But aspect ratio is wrong. It doesn't fill the screen proportionally, it just stretches the image to fill the width of the screen so even a widescreen film looks odd, with black bars top &...
