I purchased this for my daughter to use on the trips she makes. She has twins and this has been perfect. It was very easy to hook up and the twins are able to watch their favorite movies while on long trips or even short excursions.
The "monitors" are very easy to put in place and remove so you can take the items inside instead of leaving them in the car. The actual "player" is good at playing movies and does well even on bad roads (ie bumpy, etc). Color and picture quality are very good on this.

We bought this a month ago to go on a short trip with our family. We had played probably 4 movies and it quit working. We did nothing wrong to cause it to quit. The screen just went blank. We have tried contacting Polaroid but they don't answer and they don't call you back. What a terrible company for customer service! Of course the company who we bought it from (on Amazon) and shipped it to us says we need to contact the manfacturer so they won't do anything either. What a waste of $160!!!!

I actually bought this product two christmases prior when it was closer to $200 and came with the game player also.
While the performance is awesome when I had a problem with the volume somehow being set to mute that we could not get back on for over 6mths I discovered Polaroid was more than willing to sell be a new one[keep in mind it's not 9mths old]at almost the same price I had originally paid rather than fix it. This is when I discovered the warranty was 90days.
So while it seemed like a good value for the quality Polaroid failed to provide both.
Fortunately, I did not give up trying to figure out what was wrong and eventually a musician and soundman friend figured it out and we have them installed in the car again.

I ordered this through amazon and the distributor - Discount Jungle, which listed it as "New". It is definitely not new. The connecting AV cable which is used to power the second screen is not the right size, the metal piece that holds the back strap for the screen is busted, and there are scratches all over the monitor. I've called customer support at Discount Jungle, I will be surprised if I hear anything back.
Will never order from this seller again.

The Polaroid DPA-07051B is a rehash of their older 7" dual screen DVD players for your car / van, except this model does not come with a video game unit. The unit is OK, but it seems the concept of "quality electronic workmanship" (we're definitely not talking about IPC-A-610 Class C - highest electronic workmanship standards) typically isn't a philosophy associated most Polaroid electronics - so buyer beware (this is my second unit I've purchased within two years, so I opted for the extended warranty at Walmart this time, and the second unit is starting to have intermittent problems). The poor quality of the product why I rated it so poorly (the Polaroid brand of portable DVD players only seem to last less than one year, and then fail for no apparent reason).
The spaghetti of cables and wires you need to use to connect both monitors (one is the player, the other is only a LCD monitor) between the chairs may be annoying to some. If you're in a car or extended cab truck, it's not a big deal, but those with a van might be annoyed with the wiring. The unit comes with a remote, but you really don't need it...unless you're attempting to input a "region free" hack (won't go into that, but you can do the Google search to learn of the four digit code...if you know one code for any Polaroid unit, you know them all).
Polaroid DVD players are pretty much targeted to two types of consumers: 1. Those who want a cheap DVD player (and really don't care about the quality or the cost)
2. Those who need a DVD player that's easy to hack, and need to convert it into an affordable region-free DVD player, and are willing to take a gamble on the quality of the product (if they opt for an extended warranty).

You almost want to forget about calling customer support (1-866-590-3568), as rarely anyone will answer the phone - let alone call you back. Expect to have to pay to ship the DVD players to Polaroid for servicing. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. If they initially cheaped-out on making the players, they are definitely going to pass on any expense to their customers who need support.
