Amazon.com Product Description
Now you can enjoy a flicker-free progressive-scan video image on the go or in your home, even without a high-definition or HD-ready television. The Apex PD650 portable DVD player features a broad, 6.5-inch widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) LCD, whose large viewable area, progressive-scanning, and thin-film-resistor construction render smooth, vivid images.
The player also offers built-in stereo speakers for headphones-free listening and compatibility with DVD-Video, VCD/SVCD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3- and WMA-encoded discs, and JPEG and Kodak Picture CDs. Both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio output (through a .125-inch minijack-to-Toslink optical cable, not supplied) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.
Non-progressive-scanning S-video and composite-video outputs simplify hookup with your home TV. The composite-video and stereo analog audio outputs are switchable as inputs so you can use the PD650 as a monitor for a camcorder, VCR, or gaming console if you wish. Playback options include frame-by -frame slow motion, 2x and 4x zoom, and multiple-angle viewing (with applicable discs). Supplied accessories include an AC adapter, rechargeable battery, user's manual, and a remote control. Headphones are not included.

Piece of Junk.......2005-07-14
Apex is terrible to deal with!!!.......2004-12-02
The cover is extremely flimsy.......2003-10-23
Very Nice.......2003-10-19
Great deal for the price!.......2003-10-04
This unit has a good size screen. The quality is comparable to all of the other units I checked including RCA & Panasonic. Apex throws in a lot of accessories too. AC adapter/cigarette lighter adapter/headphones/audio cables/etc. It is also NTSC/PAL switchable and the AC adapter internally switches 110/220.
The sound is adequate through the external speakers and was excellent through the headphones. My wife listened to two movies in the car today with no problems with auto/road noise. I also tried my LOTR DVD and was very pleased with the sound quality.
My main complaint is that the battery pack is large, but this is true of nearly every portable dvd player. Note: they only show you the unit in the pictures...the battery pack nearly always clips on the bottom. As for the "problem" with the widescreen not filling the entire screen on some movies...I believe this is a problem for every portable dvd player, not just APEX.
Overall, I am very happy with the quality for the price.
