Rating: Summary: Fun Toy - Buy Quality Not Size Review: This is a nice, full-featured DVD player that for its expanded screen size is still very portable. I did think there was some drop-off in picture quality from some smaller screen sizes I've used, but this one can be adjusted to perfect the display without too much trouble.
Rating: Summary: Just what I wanted Review: Use this more as a travel babysitter. Picture is great - and while I am sure the sound would be woefully inadequate for a big action movie - it works fine for kid's shows. Plus looking at it never had any doubt the sound was not great. I do think the battery life could be better - key hint be sure to take the brightness all the way down or else you will get about an hour of battery life (I would agree with other reviewer that it would be easier if that was a button control rather than buried in the feature menu). When properly dimmed down I get way more. The battery life is still not great I would rather have bought with a bigger battery - but you have to buy it in addition to the unit and it ain't cheap. Not quite ideal for the car but it is a big enough screen that it can be used there. Great for planes and hotel rooms. Very happy with the purchase.

Rating: Summary: Quality but at a price! Review: Very sharp 8 inch screen with all the bells and whistles one could ask for. However, the battery life when in use with DVD's does not come close to what the manual describes. Also, the volume for DVD's when in either an airplane or car cannot be adjusted to an acceptable level. Suggest that you buy the extended battery.
