5.0 out of 5 stars Meets all of my needs, December 17, 2009

By	Susan Tunis (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I received this portable DVD player as a surprise birthday gift recently. I have to say that so far I'm delighted with the machine. The first pleasant surprise is that it was charged up and ready to go, right out of the box. I haven't taken so much as a look at the instructions yet, but have found every aspect of the player's function to be user-friendly and easily intuitive (which coming from me is saying something).

Another reviewer complained about the picture quality. I find it to be perfectly fine. My one tip would be to make sure you've got the screen angled properly for best viewing. Additionally, the sound quality, in particular the volume level, was far superior to an Insignia portable player I was using a few weeks ago. The included remote control was also significantly better than the other brand, as it had more features available such as on-screen display, angle, and zoom.

I've spent hours at a stretch watching DVDs on my player, and I've yet to see a low battery indicator. The long battery life is fantastic! Again, the 5+ hour battery life was about twice that of the other DVD player I tested. In addition to the typical charging and connecting cables, the Philips player comes with a protective neoprene sleeve for when you're traveling with your DVD player. It's very basic, but serves a purpose. The machine is certainly small and light enough to slip into a carry-on or even large purse without too much fuss. This isn't a top of the line portable player, but seems like a reasonable value for the price. The construction feels sturdy. The design is sleek. And this small luxury item meets all of my needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars I watched a whole movie and had power left over., September 12, 2009

By	Brown Sugar "Brown Sugar" (San Franciso, CA) - See all my reviews

My DVD arrived on time as promised and I love it. The outside is white and the in-side is black. The screen was just larg enough to watch my movies and enjoy it. The colors were great and the 9inch screen was big. The size was great for the tray on the airplane. I would buy another one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, I liked it. But display resolution could have been better, October 12, 2009

Hi,

I liked this player in all other aspects except that I was expecting the picture quality to be better. I am not sure if this is a limitation of the technology but why can't portable DVD players have better resolution (comparable with laptops and netbooks) ? After all, users are going to keep it at max 2 feet away if not less (just like laptop and netbook). In that case, higher resolution display is a necessity.
