Electronics : Nextbase NB685AM 8.5" Tablet DVD player with Slave screen
Rating: 
- Good but with some flaws
I've got the AC version which is identical except that rather than a slave screen it has 2 players that can be linked using the supplied cable to do the same as the AM version or can show 2 different movies.
Really good picture quality but I found it distorts the picture by stretching it horizontally. I couldn't find anyting in the Setup Menu to adjust this. I had to distort all my Divx movies by 1:1.287 Horz:Vert to get the correct aspect ratio. If using the USB you must use a pend drive that plugs directly into the player, using a cable just doesn't seem to work. Make sure the pen drive doesn't have a prominent light because this will be flashing away on the left side of the screen all through the movie. The speakers are a bit tinny and powerless, it's best to use headphones. The infrared Nextbase headphones worked OK but with a lot of background noise, presuamably from the headphones's amplifier; it's probably best to use corded headphones (it comes with in-ear headset but these aren't much use for children).
