Shinco 7" Portable DVD player

springbok

B&Q (Warehouse only as far as I know) are selling a bush 7" for £79ish, but they have a 10% off everything offer at the moment (ends Sunday), so worth a look if you are in the market for a mid price range model.

For £71 you cann't complain, the only thing it doesn't come with is a carry bag, car adapter is included.
They had a pallet full at my local B&Q Warehouse in Plymouth, not sure if they sell electricals in the normal B&Q's though.

Well I'm still chuffed to bits with my Medion 7" from Kwik Save (MSE Grabbit in the summer) that came with carry case and in-car kit for £59.99. Fantastic value!

Just had an email from allcam.biz and their Shinco 1720 (better than the 1731a) is on clearance for £89 + delivery each. These are probably Refurbed units though:

IMHO this is a bargain price for a decent quality slim portable DVD player that supports DiVX.

Dixons are doing an 8 inch screen portable dvd player for £99.

Being a novice on these things, do any of them also come with an output socket and cable to play through a normal TV too?

If it's any help the Shinco (1720a) I posted about earlier has a composite out socket and comes with an appropriate cable (with 3 RCA leads).

The Mustek tablet DVD players I use in the car have a similar arangement, but also have an S-VHS socket (and cable) for higher quality output.

i got a real bargin from sainsburys 2 weeks ago, 7" dvd portable player for 44.99!! should have been 89.99 which we thought was good valve as the bag it came with was excellant, and it went through the till at 44.99. Husband was about to say something B4 i kicked him!! Cant remember the brand, but it is a good one.

I bought the Shinco when they first came out from Firebox. It cost a whopping £199 for the 7 inch screen (this was 2 years ago). Yes it is a very good unit but my daughter has a cheaper Medion player and it does the job (ie plays kid's dvd). I suppose it depends on what you want it for.
