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

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.

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.

Sorry for the trouble

So, here is a tiny screen, for big $$$, that we ALL need. Right?
Wrong !!!. Have you tried setting a XBox on your lap. A real thrill... Where are we supposed to put this thing so we can see it while we are playing it in the car. Ceiling, floor, another seat. I cannot understand how it could be used. Another bad concept.

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..

You Can Use A Portable DVD Player!!!

I have a 7" portable DVD player and I have it hooked up in my truck. The key to buying a portable DVD player is that you must buy one that has the option to accept video input. Then you goto Walmart or Radio Shack and buy three female-to-female RCA connectors. BANG... you have a portable DVD player and a Screen. You can now hook up anything that has RCA connectors: Sat., Cable, VCR, Gamecube, PS2, etc...

calling it garbage is being nice

I tried to research this before I bought it, but there weren't many reviews for the Xbox version. I thought that for the price I would get something at least decent, but I was wrong. The picture is terrible. It makes my Xbox games look like PS1 games. The best way to describe it is cloudy and blotchy. Images that are sharp and smooth on my home TV are rough and blocky. There are a few games that I can't even play at all becuause you can't see enough detail or read text. I made sure everything is hooked up right and adjusted the color and brightness, so it's not user error. And the S Video cable doesn't make it any better. It gets a little brighter, but not ebough to make it playable. This is a product that should have never been released, especially at this price. Maybe it would be worth it for about $..., but that's just maybe.
