Just plain bad

Take a look at the reviews for this one. All of them.

Those that are good are most involve necessity, and a willingness to accept subpar quality.

This is not a good product -- maybe worth $50, but not more. The resolution is nothing short of horrible. The sound is fine, especially through the headphone jack, but i could not distinguish the walls from the floor when i tested this with Morrowind. I am not just talking about details here, i am talking about major graphical display haze and fuzz.

Really, you are betting off buying a small TV monitor. The sound may not be as good, but at least you can see the game.

Caveat emptor! (let the buyer beware, especially if you can't return it)

do not buy

When my son said he wanted to buy this I didn't think it was a good idea. However when he saved the money I let him buy the screen. Boy was I wrong! This thing works great for trips, my kids can watch DVD's and play games while we are on the road and in a hotel. If you want a 27" screen then you will be disappointed but that's not what this screen was designed to replace.
Only complaint, I wish the thing had a padded storage bag so we could take the screen off when it is not needed without fear of damage.

No Warranty - Poor Support - Buy a TV

What a great concept - to bad this company cares more about profit than product quality. I have owned ours for less than 116 days - and within that period it just DIED! That's less than 4 months and a $169.99 product dies... no lights, no warning - just dead.

The saddest part is that they carry absolutely no warranty! Nobody would buy a product in this day and age without a warranty - I mean, you have to figure when you open the box they'll be warranty information - nope! It's like pulling teeth!

Buy a good Portable DVD with input for the XBox - or anything else external. Don't get suckered in by the cheap price - you definately get less than what you paid for!

Run!!!

MAJOR letdown

Bought this as soon as I heard it was out. Figured that an lcd screen combined with an XBOX would be awesome...... how wrong I was!!! DVD movies look decent, but ANY games look grainy, and the person that said the Gameboy Advance SP's screen looked better is 100% right. I don't know how Intec's PS2 lcd screen looks, but if it is anything like this one then I advise everyone to stay away from that one too.

Great product!

Really nice product. I bought it on sale on toys'r us for $49.95. Cudos to the developers. Yes, the screen is tiny, but so what. I opened the xbox and soldered the power wire into the box, so I didn't need an extra adapter. Now I can use it in my car (12v-220v converter in the car) and in my cabin etc. Kids love it. The sound is acceptable, and 2 headphone jacks is nice. So, since my xbox is modified, I now have a fully portable dvd player/media center/music box, gamebox in one package ready to go anywhere. Now I will buy the 7" screen version, should look even nicer.

This product is garbage...

I have heard that earlier 5" models of this product were good, but the 5.6" and 5.4" versions are terrible. It appears to use passive matrix screen technology which is very comparable to the old Sega Game Gear screen only worse. The blur is really bad, and the color and brightness are bad also. For example, playing Splinter Cell is impossible, because the screen is so dark, even at the highest brightness, you can't see anything that's going on. Playing DOA3 and other games with super-bright graphics is possible, but still not great. The color is bad, and actually looks like the screen might only be displaying 256 or less colors. You can tell this on any screen that has a color gradient; instead of a smooth color transition, you get sharp breaks in color like old fashioned dithering.

The sound from the unit is actually pretty impressive, and the way it connects to the Xbox is very well designed. None of this matters, though, because you are buying it for the screen.

This is probably the worst product of any kind I have purchased in years..

Don't waist your money

The Mobile Monitor is terrible. The picture on the box shows it to be a wide screen speaker-to-speaker picture. In fact every picture throughout the documentation is the same. In reality is a very small 5.4 inch diagonal square with black plastic taking up the rest of the space. The LCD display is better on my son's gameboy advanced. This text in most games is unreadable and you get a ghost behind anything that moves. Don't waist your money.

Just O.K.

The idea of a portable screen is good......needs improvement. The price is rather expensive for this monitor. The picture quality is so-so. The lcd screen for the playstation 1 is much better and smaller (and more portable) Overall, this product needs improvement. They need to lower the price and improve the picture quality.

NO T.V. NEEDED....
