Home > Consumer Reviews > Apex PD-10 Portable DVD Player with 5.6-Inch LCD Screen

I got this Apex PD10 on Ebay for $165 new. Lowest price I could find anywhere on the net.
I read alot of reviews about the unit getting very hot while being used, not the case with mine. Don't know if it's because I don't put it flat on the surface of the table (back end propped up) or if thats just how this unit is. The picture is pretty clear, color is alittle on the red side, the color control doesn't do much good. I wish it had direction controls on the unit itself, you have to navigate with the remote. Not always easy. Esp. if you have big fingers. The 5.6" screen is big enough, I don't have a problem viewing anything. Does have a zoom feature but keeps a smaller pic of the org. in the upper left corner so it blocks part of the zoomed pic. weird.
All in all, a decent Dvd player. If I had more time to really look at more (taking it on a trip), I would probably spend alittle more and get a different one though.

if this is the shoddiness i am to expect out of a portable dvd player then i will never buy another.

first, the thing isn't even a widescreen display like in the picture.
secondly, the thing practically cooks the discs, they get so hot.
third, if you lose a little part, you're screwed. Apex, doesn't offer replacements. i lost the remote, and now i can't access anything, i have to hit play and i can only see the movie. good luck with TV show DVDs that have you individually select episodes.
it seems like nothing but negative complaints as we continue:
when you turn the unit on its side to turn up the volume it starts to scratch the disc up. oh, and did i mention the extreme heat!

Do yourself a favor, save yourself some money and buy a better brand, because you will have nothing but problems with this!

I bought this for my son for Christmas, he loved the decent size screen and was thrilled. However after only 2 days the color went and we could not return the item because it was over 2 weeks that I had purchased it. (I purchased it and hid it until Christmas).
I called APEX and could not get through at all, I went to the APEX website and checked repair companies in my area, none of them would touch APEX stating that APEX never paid them for previous repairs made, even though APEX lists them on their very OWN WEBSITE!
I finally got through via email and received a reply, the reply was I had to pay to ship this to California and they would try and fix it and ship it back. I live in Mass I estimate if they do in fact fix this, I may see it back in a month! Also local repair shops in my area say they wont fix APEX and that it is junk. So I wish I paid more and got a reputable brand. APEX is JUNK to me.

Feature wise this is one of the best portable DVD player out. I really like having a/v input / output on the device it self. :) :)!
Picture and sound quality pretty much sticks.
After having it for a year now i am going to upgrade to one that has a bigger screen size and better sound quality for only a few $ more. I will miss having the a/v input / output though.
But again if you want the features get this, also it is a very good price for what you get.

I purchased two of these for each of my daughters and they both use theirs almost daily and I haven't had any problems with either of them. Everything works and the display is great for the price~!! I am extremely happy with the value of these items.
