Customer Reviews

An excellent portable DVD player
I was hesitant to pick up this player at first, until I read up on Shinco and their build quality. I was surprised to find on first using it how good the quality of the screen was - no ghosting - and the sheer amount of stuff I can play on it. DivX/Xvid, Region 1, 2, and 3 Dvds, you name it, this thing can play it. You can play stuff off of an SD card/USB stick in much the same way.

The reasons I gave it 4/5 are to do with the quality of the divx - sometimes it can have some slightly annoying slowdown off of a disc, but these are minor complaints. Also, the scanlines on the screen are slightly noticeable, but not so much as that they distract you - as someone who watches a fair bit of DVDs, it's merely nit-picking. The last straw for the last star was to do with the quality of the speaker sound - it just wasn't up to scratch, listenable, but tinny. If you want high quality sound, listen with earphones or plug in your own speakers.

The battery lasts a solid 3 hours of film watching, which is enough for anything approaching Exodus. So far I've had no luck finding a spare battery for it (it comes with one), but i'm sure one does exist somewhere.

An excellent player. Ignore any other brand but Shinco.

Shinco 6820 Portible DVD player
This is one of the best specified players around for the money especially with the built in card reader. I tried several models beforehand and this was definately my favourite, good quality and picture. I have noted reference to horizontal lines when viewing stills. This is the normal TV scanning process and mega pixel digital still pictures simply cannot be reproduced in fine detail on any standard TV so its not fair to expect this machine to be any different. (Modern large screen sets do hide the lines by a process called interlacing and also allow RGB input but lets be realistic here !) As 'Go anywhere' portable entertainment this is a really great item and to be recommended - Just waiting for SHINCO to bring out a Freeview digital tuner to complete the package - A few other portable DVD players have Digital tuners but in my view, they just didn't match SHINCO on overall quality/performance/value

Great Player, Terrible supplier!
This is a great item but be aware that this is supplied by Allcam and not by Amazon themselves.

Allcam are a very poor retailer and you should think very carefully about placing an order with them, even through Amazon.

I recently tried to purchase a DVD player from Allcam. Called them up on Thursday and was told the item was in stock and would be shipped immediatly. Placed the order and made note that the item was urgent and needed by Friday if at all possible. Monday night and still no sign of the player or any communication from Allcam. Rang them up on Tues and was told that there had been a problem with my payment (which as they had taken payment on Thurs there clearly hadn't been!) but no one bothered to call or email me. They then told me that they didn't actually have any stock so could not ship the item out anyway. When I told them that I was very unhappy with the dismal service and would be placing a comment on the Amazon website they threatened to get their lawers on to me!

Think carefully about using this supplier - you have been warned.
