ieGeek 11.5" Portable DVD Player, 9.5" HD Screen, Car Travel, Blue

I'm not into streaming services, at all. I literally had both my Netflix and hulu subscriptions cancelled this year because I had to get a new debit card and I didn't care about renewing my memberships. Not to mention that I barely used either service (especially hulu) because Youtube has become my replacement TV for the most part, but the thing is is that I'm been on Youtube way more than usual, these days and I want to take a break from it. Two good friends of mine got me into DVDs and Blu-rays a year ago and while I mainly use my PS3 to watch them, I wanted to have a device that at least, lets me play my DVDs anywhere in a nice form factor, so I bought this. I've had this thing for a few months to see how it fares and so far, I'm pretty happy with it. Playing DVDs and Music CDs on this little guy all work pretty well, although I haven't tested any discs from other regions nor have I tested all the other features that this thing has to offer yet. But aside from that, the device itself looks and feels like a solid piece of tech (and I love the color, but that's just me. ;) Anyway, the buttons on this device feel great and are easy to understand, the speakers on this thing impressed me with how loud they can get, and while I'm not into screen resolutions whatsoever, the screen on this thing looks pretty good, too. - Final Thoughts Overall, I recommend getting this. To me, there's something special about devices like these and I'm glad that there’s companies out there that actually care enough to still make these, even years later. It's nice to use this in bed and even in my car when I'm on break at work and looking to kill some time without relying on my phone and Youtube to do so. Obviously, this thing is bigger than a smartphone and bringing physical CDs anywhere is never going to be as convenient as everything just being digital on your phone, but for me personally, I don't care. The only major benefit of digital media IS convenience, but that doesn't mean that it's always going to be there when you need it, as I experienced that myself in the past with streaming services. - Edit: 12/30/2024 I still like this thing, but in the few months that I've used it, I have experienced a few problems. There are times where the player doesn't want to play my DVDs whether it be not at all, or random cuts to the video will happen while playing, even though the discs are in pristine condition. When this happens, I have to stop the player, take the disc out, then put it back in and that usually solves the problem, but it's still weird and annoying to deal with when that problem comes up. Granted, I don't use this player 24/7 and I make sure to give this player a break (namely when watching a TV series, I'll turn it off after watching two to three episodes and I'll turn it off after watching one movie), but still.

Roadtrip life saver !!! Used it the other day when our power went out for four days. Screen Size is good, lots of enjoyment so far.

The color looks off if you look at it from above, but if you get lower it looks great. So far we've loved it and my kids are excited that we can "take some shows with us" on our road trip. The battery has been sufficient. We put it on our center console with a holder and it's been just easy to change the DVD.

The DVD player was delivered 10/11/18. The Amazon box was on my porch with a large puddle of rain water sitting on top. Uh-oh-h, I thought. Thank goodness for the manufacturer's packaging. The layers (box, plastic bag, bubble sleeve) kept the player safe, sound and most importantly, dry. I ordered the blue. It was a tad bit lighter than I expected but still a pretty shade of royal blue. The player was partially charged but I plug it in anyway and watched a complete movie, played a partial music video and played several songs from a CD. They all played without any problems. I wish I could adjust the bass though. The picture was good and by tilting the screen (back & forth) I was able to adjust the appearance of the picture on the screen, just like you do with a laptop. I read several negative reviews about the volume level being too low. I didn't find a problem with the volume. With my earbuds, I had to turn the volume all the way down to the 1st bar. Without the earbugs, the volume had to be higher of course (above the 1/2 way point) but it was still fine to me. Granted I was in the house and only the TV was in the background. I did stop the movie twice. The first time (after about 3 minutes) it started back where it stopped but, the 2nd time (after about 11 minutes) the unit seemed to shut down. I used the on/off button to get it going again and of course the movie re-started from the beginning. No worries though, the frame locator option made finding where I stopped quick. I haven't tried all the features, just the ones that matter most to me (cd & dvd player, volume and related controls). I can't speak on the battery life since once I saw that it did what I needed I repackaged the unit and put it away. I bought it for my traveling (plane trips and cruises). I started to order a carry case for the player but found that it fits in my laptop case with my 8" keyboard tablet beside it. My laptop case has an outside zippered pocket that holds all the cords, earbuds, battery pack (unrelated) and the like. I had this DVD player in my "Saved" list for a while, not completely convince it would be any good. But, I say "If you want it, go for it". I really like this little DVD/CD player and hope I get years of use out of it. I'm glad I bought it.

I bought three of these. They are working great. You have to understand how DVD players work in order to use them. (When there is an error, take the disc out and blow on the mechanics, then put it back, etc.) You have the usual issues that come with DVD players, which we've all kind of forgotten in 2026. But this one is great for the kids in the car.

Bought this as a birthday gift for a 14 year old niece. Just saw her and she claimed “this was the best Gift!” She uses it it watch movies on long bus rides.

I just got it and played a movie on it and so far I am in love with this. It has the connection to see it on a tv and you can also turn off the screen to see it only on a tv. Haven't tried the sound with the tv yet. The screen can move to both sides. I personally love how clear it looks and for a small device the audio sounds pretty good. I did show in my video review that it still plays even if I'm a bit rough with it. Tho I don't recommend turning it upside while on as it might damage some fragile stuff but other than that it's looks and works as intended. Will update if anything happens

UPDATE: The customer service from this seller has been incredible. The seller has contacted me 3 times to offer a full refund, due to my 3 star review because of virtual inability to reduce brightness. I have decided to keep the player and will put window tint over the screen when I need a dimmer screen. Other than the brightness issue, it's a great player.....and customer service is the best. Because of the great customer service, I'm changing to 4 stars. I purchased this player along with 3 other comparable brands (price wise) and did a very strictly controlled test on battery life. They were all fully charged, settings were set exactly the same and I played dvds on all 3 devices, one after the other. This brand definitely had the longest battery life of the 3 players. NONE of them lasted what they each advertised, not even close. But, this one had the longest at about 3.5 hours. So, this is why I purchase this one. The sound is also great volume wise, whereas the other 2 models were barely loud enough, even turned all the way up. I tested the volume fairly by switching the dvds back and forth, in order to hear player with each dvd. This would have been 5 stars had the brightness been able to dim. I flew to Thailand 2 weeks ago and bought this dvd player just for the trip. Once the cabin lights were dimmed and people started napping, I started to play a movie on the player. It was HORRIBLY bright that the whole immediate area around me lit up like it was daytime. It even hurt my eyess because it was so bright!!! I quickly adjusted it to the very diameter and it was at this point that I discovered going from brightest to dimmest was NOT EVEN NOTICEABLE!! It was so terribly bright I turned it off because others would not have been able to sleep with it on. I even tried again several times on the return flight to play it but it was so terribly bright that it lit up the whole area around me and was not able to be dimmed enough to make any difference at all. This is absolutely ridiculous that such a simple feature cannot work any better than this. If you want to watch it in a fully lit room, it would be fine. But, in a dimmed room, it is ridiculously bright, nearly hurting your eyes and you won't be able to dim it, even the least little bit!

My 8 year-old son had been asking for the iGeek portable DVD player as a Christmas gift for the last three months. He got it in blue (as he wished) and couldn’t be any happier with this handy movie device. It was packaged carefully in a protective wrap. Right from the Boxing Day until the first weekend of January it has been his long distance travel companion. I was patiently waiting for him to give me his feedback. He loves the sharp screen imaging with the swivel feature, clear sound with or without the earphones, the play memory, about 5 hour playtime, and cosmetically - the color he chose. Showed it to all the visitors during his travels and all of them were in “awe”. I do like the built in eye protecting screen filter since there is a lot of blue light coming out from a myriad of electronic devices in a daily use that can largely contribute to the eye retina damage. Very satisfied with the purchase and the seller so far. I can do the coffee chat with my friend and he’ll enjoy the private movie matinee by a mug of hot chocolate.

Prompt delivery. Product exactly as described. Long battery life.
