ALDI - Twin Screen Portable DVD Player

thegills

Anyone know the size of the screen or if they give a 3 year warranty?

Hmmmm....is this a bargain alert? :mad:

If its a 7" with 3 Year warranty then Yes I'd say. There's a similar one in the Argos sale for €240 with less warranty and a separate DVD head end.
Thing is I don't know if it's 7" as the ALDI doesn't specify.

To my mind this should have [request] in the title. Also a link or some other clues would be helpful so boardsters can chech it out...just saying...;)

Doesn't say the screen size, but they look quite large in the picture. Not a bad deal at all.

In the picture they certainly look like 7' screens.
I wonder can one person be watching a dvd while the other is playing a game using the av input

Yes, they're 7" screens. Bought one today, initial thoughts are that it's certainly good value, maybe not an absolute bargain, but cheaper than models in Argos that certainly do not look as nice.

Nice touches include the pouch for each screen, and the smallish bag that carries everything - all leads, power supply, and the two screens in their pouches.

Screen quality is very good, sound not bad given the speaker size but a little tinny.

Bought one. I also like the fact that it acts as a stand alone potrable DVD player too.

Hi,

I thought because i saw NTSC/PAL it would play region 1 & region 2, but i tried an american disc in it and got wrong region, anyone know of a hack for this?
