Quartet ED8890A Portable Television and DVD Player, 9" LCD, Black

The Azend Envizen 9" Portable TV/CD,DVD and Picture player is outstanding. Not only is this a 9" TV screen rather than other 7" models, it has an excellent antennae set up for a consistent and beautiful color picture! Both DVD's and CD's play very very well. I like the swivel feature of the screen even though this added some additional cost to the unit - I like the option of adjusting the screen w/out necessarily moving the unit itself. The remote control is well-designed and allows scrolling channels on the screen rather than advancing one at a time or jumping from one to another. Volume can be controlled by both the TV remote as well as a dial on the unit itself. You may not be able to turn the unit off with the remote but this is hardly a bother as the unit is typically so close to you that turning the unit off at the unit is simple enough. And then, the unit is adaptable for traveling in the car with straps for attaching to the seat headrest. The travel bag itself not only comes with the unit rather than having to buy it separately - it is a very well constructed canvas bag with zipper compartments for very secure storage. A previous unit I had did not retain the TV signal very well and made an obnoxious noise when it lost the signal. This unit is much superior to that providing an excellent signal with the provided antennae which has a lengthy wire that provides good distance to position for the best signal. A nice feature is the antennae is magnetic so it can me mounted for stability. I am using a metal glass coaster so where ever I put the antennae it will stand quite securely. The picture viewer is a neat feature in which you can use your photo SD card to view pictures on the screen. The download of the pictures takes some time rather than an instant advancing of pictures like on your camera. Nonetheless, it is a nifty extra bonus feature should you happen to want to share pictures when you are without a computer. The price of this unit was a little more than a previous 9" unit that I returned but the quality and features make this unit an outstanding value. I love being able to use it in the kitchen, the bedroom and sitting area to follow my daily activity - and also when the kids are watching other shows on the family TV! Overall the Envizen is thoughtfully constructed and provides excellent performance making it an Outstanding Portable Unit!

Like many others I was looking for an all-in-one device to use during power outages. I found myself "on-the-fence" after reading the reviews here but decided to make the purchase anyway.My review is only based on having this DVD/TV combo for one day but I believe I tested everything except using it in the car. Two small issues were a dead battery in the remote and the antenna adapter was missing. I happened to have the battery and purchased the antenna adapter at a local Radio Shack for $6.00.As others have indicated, the sound is tinny and louder when watching TV compared to a DVD. I didn't find the DVD volume too bad, though. The maximum volume is 20 and I had it at 15 at the highest but I was home with no noise. I solved the volume issue by connecting my Jensen SMPS-650 bluetooth speakers Jensen Portable Bluetooth Wireless Rechargeable Speaker for iPod iPad iPhone and all Mobile Devices.1. TV: I tried the included antenna as well as two others I ownand received practically the same channels. unfortunately,the my favorite channel, ABC channel 7 does not come in. Atleast there are 10 or so other channels I can choose. Thechannel scan does not take long. I scanned near a window totry and get the most channels and also attached the magnetbase to something metal; it does help.2. DVD/CD: I tested a commercial video and one I copied to aDVD-RW and both worked without any problem and looked good onthe screen. I did not hear any noise coming from the spinningspindle. It was quiet.3. USB/SD slot: I have a lot of data on my 32gb usb flash driveso it did take awhile for the data to appear but everythingappeared and was able to watch downloaded TV series videos.Next, I inserted to an SD card and viewed my photos. Again,with no problem. When viewing photos, the device has built-intransitions for fading in and out of each photo. I haven'tchecked to see if you can change the timing between eachphoto.4. A/V In: using the included A/V cable, I connected the cablesto my cable set box and plugged the other end into the audioout and switched to device to the A/V function and was ableto watched all cable channels. On a whim I used a set ofiPhone A/V cables and connected them to the included A/Vcable; again audio out. I went to the iPhone video app andcould view the videos on the DVD player.5. A/V out: to watch a DVD on a larger TV, use the included A/Vcables, and connect one end to the A/V out and the otherend to the A/V connection on the TV. the DVD player workedwell, however, as another reviewer mentioned, the sound wasalso coming from the DVD speakers as well as the TV. To solvethis issue, I turned the manual volume contro located on thefront right side of the device and now only the TV speakersare on. There is a button on the front of the DVD below thescreen to turn off the LCD screen. You have to press and holdit down until the DVD screen goes blank. This does notthe larger TV screen.All in all, despite the DVD volume, and missing antenna adapter, I found the Envizen DVD/TV better than expected. For my purposes of using this device when there are power outage, I feel this will work out fine. I will continue to test and use to make sure no other issue come up.I added some photos of the packaging, the DVD/TV itself and screen displays of videos and TV.

This product has good quality built into unit. I had not heard of this brand before but was pleasantly surprised. The locking in of TV channels was very easy. The picture quality is very good. The sound is adaquate. The dvd player works great, picture very clear. I love the memory function of the dvd player. The remote control works very well. The price point is excellent. I connected a powered speaker source that I plugged into the AV out on the TV and it made the TV sound like a home theater. The TV has excellent connectivity features. The TV is small and compact with bright clear picture. I highly recommend this product and it comes with a lot of accessories, of which the carring case is not so great.
