RCA Portable VHS with an LCD screen

[jstout66]

Came across this "odd" one at an estate sale. (well... odd to me) plus it was in the original box, so how could I pass it up..lol!

An RCA Portable VHS Player with a 5.5" LCD screen.
Model: BLV552
Manufactured in 2002. I can't imagine they were very popular as VHS was giving the death gasp by then.
Cool unit tho, and not bad quality! For those reading this, were they common? I would imagine to shut the kids up on long car trips?
