I own the X5L, and it's quite possible the best sounding player on the market. The videos are very clear and easy to watch. But, if you're watching an actual movie instead of just like a TV show.. it could begin to hurt your eyes after a long period.
Doing more research i might reconsider getting the X5L and going with the archos gmini 402 after all the great things i've read about it. I really can't decide. I want good music quality but at the same time good videos. I dont want the big size of a DAP so mabye ill end up with the iriver
