Durabrand DVD player is not an ordinary one, thanks to its dual LCD screen. This feature is extremely convenient while using two different operations during a trip: Playstation for one passenger and a video movie for another one. The two sized 6.2 inch screens are operated from one central player.

Here are a few of the available Durabrand versions (models have the same characteristics, only the screens differ):

• PVS177W / PVS1770 (7" TFT LCD screen)
• PVS176W / PVS1760 (6.5" TFT LCD screen)
• PVS167W / PVS1670 (7" TFT LCD screen)
• PVS166W / PVS1665 (6.5" TFT LCD screen).

PVS 1960 is the most popular model; its price is from 200 to 250 $. Its special features include: multifunction remote control, playback of CD/JPG-CD/MP3-CD/DVD-Video, Dolby Digital, three stereo headphone jacks, A/V inputs for game consoles and other video devices, 2 DIN cables, AC adapter and Car DC adapter, 2 straps to secure screens to the back of car seat head rest, A/V cable for hooking to TV, carrying bag.

The good points of Durabrand DVD players are:

1. dual screen system; the displays are little aluminum-cased, both with on / off switch, headphone jack, volume control and well-performing speakers built in
2. the setup is very simple; no surprises appear, after setting up it really works as designed
3. the quality of the monitors is good.

The weak points are:

1. an internal battery is missing. By default, you can plug into the cigarette lighter
2. the sound quality is rather bad, but almost all consumers already have headphones for a better hearing
3. not too long cables which might be less workable in a minivan.
