Well, my other player arrived today (same model, same vendor) and he has sent me another factory misfit/return. This one has quite clearly been opened, you can see marks around the edges and some deformation of the casing, the innards are loose and rattle about and the screen has scratches on the surface which have been put there deliberatel by the looks of it (they are criss crossed and one diagonal). I think the factory must do this to prevent them being re-sold by employees, thats my theory anyway, I cant see any other explanation.

I will purchase the same model again from a different vendor as I really like this player now, assuming everything was new and fully functional.

Ok, I also had a few more arrive today, they are clones of the Ramos 970, which is a good little player.

These are the exact same barring the Ramos name, they use the same chip, come with the same pre-loaded videos and photos. Even the user manual tells you the firmware is ramos970.

The video is superb, I was blown away with the demo video, it is crystal clear, sharp and smooth. Theres always a but though, the video I have transfered is very dark on this player so Im messing about with different brightness levels at the moment. Also the player doesnt seem to re-size to full screen automatically, although it will play them just as easy as the other model.

Sound is again top notch. So far Ive been impressed considering the bargain basement price.

Ill keep you posted.
