We purchased our first unit yesterday from a local circuit city only to find that the screen was defective, 3-4 bright red pixels right in the middle of the viewing area. On exchanging this unit for another today, we could not believe our eyes when we turned this unit on. Clear as day there is a DVD menu burned into the screen, this I can only presume being done by a previous owner of this unit. Both units looked to be factory sealed new boxes, so I can only assume that audiovox just re-ships out its returns?On doing a google search for issues with this unit, I found this page on amazon. I could not believe what I read from a previous reviewer (An electronics fan from PA United States ), he states that his unit had a burnt in image, that being "Western Hero", this is EXACTLY the problem with the unit I have just purchased as new stock. So I can only conclude that there is:a) someone inside audiovox factory burning this image into the screens.b) I have just purchased the SAME UNIT that the other reviewer returned, despite it being clearly flawed, audiovox just repackaged it and sent it out to retail again, as new stock.Be Warned.. For what little we have seen of this so far, it looks like it could be good, but after reading the reviews here, and seeing first hand their quality control, we just may be returning this unit for good next trip. Two brand new units purchased, two faulty screens.
