My wife got this unit for me for Christmas. (Is that a great wife?) We've used it on two cross country flights and we are extremely pleased with it. The only problem that we encountered was that when we plugged two sets of earphones (through a "y" splitter)into it we could not hear the audio over the noise on a flight. I solved that problem by purchasing an earphone booster (boosteroo) that increases the volume with a self powered amplifier/splitter. The unit has audio/video plugs that are switchable for in or out with makes it usable as either a monitor or an emergency DVD player for a large TV. We also purchased a larger battery (made by initial) that extends the usable hours to 4 or better.
