I need a portable w/screen to keep the kids quiet on trips, but am not finding very many sources that give comprehensive reviews on the available players. I picked up a Mintek 1810 at my local Costco the other day, and was impressed that it plays all my DVD-R's. The screen is bright and has good viewability, but it wouldn't hurt to have a few more pixels.....

I've read all I can on DVDRHelp in the user reviews for the Initials, Cyberhomes, and even some name brands! Also reviews on Amazon and target.com are helpful, but I sure woudn't mind hearing from some professional 3rd parties instead!

Am I being too anal, and should just be happy with my $330 Mintek? I'm trying not to spend too much, which is usually the result of further research....

The WalMart $218 Cyberhome 7" with kit is pretty darn cheap...maybe I should give up an inch.....or the Coby 7" tablet design on Target.Com is pretty interesting (have also seen it under other brand names).

Now if only any of these things actually remembered DVD position when turned off, I'd be all set!
