My DVD player was defective out of the box. It would only play black and white, no color. Since I purchased it through target.com now my options are to send it back (at my cost) and try to get it repaired or take it back to a Target store and try to exchange it if they have one in stock. Otherwise I'll get stuck with store credit.

Don't waste your time or money on this portable DVD player. We bought it and were highly disappointed. We either had very washed out color on the screen or absolutely no color at all. It continually flashed to black and white. Other times there was a little color while other parts of the picture were in black and white. Don't bother buying it, you will only end up taking it back like we did.

The Polaroid PDV 077PT loads the DVD pretty quickly. Picture quality is avarage but not bad. The DVD player is very quiet sounding, and the screen swivals pretty good. The DVDs do not skip or freeze up like it did in the Mintek Player. There is also a mode button that gets rid of the 2 black bars and puts it full wide screen. This is the only Polaroid Player that comes in black. For the price I'm Satified with this DVD Player.
