I was a bit hesitant to choose this as there is a bad review as well as good reviews. When I opend up the box, I was impressed with the build quality, touch and color of the cabinet cases. I was surprised to find on first using it that it was set to region free from the box,how good the quality of screen was, clear and well color-defined and the amount of stuffs I can play on it, Divx/Xvid/Region 1,2 and 3 DVDs. You can play Divx/Xvid/Mpeg-4s of SD card and USB stick in much the same way. The battery is built-in the case so there is not extra sticking part for that. I think the battery lasts a solid 3 hours of film watching, which is enough for any films. An excellen player for the money
