Perhaps cheap, Chinese led's have different lens/focal length, tighter beam?

Hi,
I don't think so, I had one of them... but scraped cause was annoyed of pointing the box with remote all the times...
In my case was due to not so smart design of the box: the IR receiver was put under plexiglass window but in kind of a "pit" ...too deep and not near surface...
the result was that even at small angle the remote was unable to illuminate the IR receiver and the so the box must be placed in a way the remote could easy point to front of it... very bad design of the box I think.
I mean... sometimes are cheap and also well looking... slim...silvery color like that I had... but an IR receiver that works just at -+5 degrees is not that smart for consumer product like this DVD player I'm talking about.
Kind regards,
Max
