Review of Initial DVD players.

Initial DVD Players . Initial is another manufacturer venturing into the lucrative portable DVD player market. Initial provides a handful of products (currently 3) which are attractively priced. They don't lack for functions or features and, surprisingly, match higher-end brands for performance and quality. Click to see a listing of available Initial DVD Players.

I recommend one Initial model above the others simply based on its features. Comparable features in other brands would be priced considerably higher than this Initial DVD player is priced.
