Comment: Great little portable dvd player Rating:
I researched many portable dvd players and this one came up best for the money. But since I got it after the rebate time ended, I didn't get the free car adapter and now I find it is quite expensive, $99! (which is why I give it the 4 stars)Otherwise, the picture is very sharp and lots of features offered. It also shows my Jpeg digital pictures! I am very happy with this panasonic product!
Comment: Best price for the brand, size and picture quality Rating:
I have been looking for a portable DVD player for the past couple months. Checked Sony, Toshiba and other brands. The only one comes close as far as picture quality is Polariod 7 inch, which sales for around 280 or so. But its size is bigger, and weights a ton. The ways you can place the LCD screen on this panasonic model is very useful and I don't see other brands offer the similar screen configurations. With the rechargable battery, this unit weights heavier compare to other name brands (sony, toshiba...). However the sound quality is great for those tiny speakers. So overall I will rate this unit a 5 star, while comparing it side by side with Sony, Toshiba, Initial, Polariod, and even with the Panasonic 9 inch model(clearer).
I hope this information helps you to choose the best portable DVD player on the market.
