Summary: Excellent
Review: ... dropped this baby under [$] and waived the shipping, so I got one. It's exactly as advertised by the other owners here. Excellent picture and sound. Quality made and all functions are very intuitive and easy to memorize. I was worried about the screen being so small. That worry only lasted a few minutes. The widescreen picture and crisp image made me forget all that. The only thing I would wish for on this one is that the charger was somehow built in. I do not like having another adapter brick and multiple cords and plugs to mess with. That fault, however, is so small that I am not deducting a thing from the highest rating on this one.

Summary: Best portable DVD player around, worth the price.
Review: After much research, reading of reviews, specs and comparisons of other portable DVD players, this cute and sturdy little player won me over and I decided to purchase it. Much to my delight, it was the best I could hope for. This little high tech machine really performs. Sharp, clear picture and surround sound (especially when using headphones!). The swivel monitor makes it especially attractive. When I brought it to my workplace to show some co-workers, it was such a big hit! Two of my co-workers were sold and are in the process of purchasing one. The sheer look of it attracted everyone and when they saw the player in action it was even more impressive to them. One minor, teensy, weensy flaw, the volume control is just a bit too recessed on the side of the machine for a good finger grip but certainly not enough to cause frustration. The other 99% positives of this player makes that teeny flaw seem harmless. The 5 inch widescreen is just too cute. And not to worry about the small screen size, you'll get captivated by the crystal clear picture quality of the movie that you don't even think about the 5 inch screen. Can you tell .... I love this product, it really is a gem!

Summary: Pint-Sized Player Packs Powerful Picture
Review: Having pressed my nose against enough windows admiring these portable DVD players over the last few years, I saw the DVD-LV50 in a store one day and fell in love. I just had to have one, and when my PS2 started having problems playing certain discs, that - and falling prices -- were the excuses I needed.At first I was struck by a few negatives about the DVD-LV50. Contrary to what some stores say, it only has a single monaural speaker, which seems cheap and ill-advised in a unit retailing for six big ones and packing state-of-the-art audio processing. I also think Panasonic should have included the larger rechargeable battery pack that runs for 3½ hours rather than the pack included that runs for two hours. Most folks will probably want to pop for a spare battery, and at only twenty dollars more than the two-hour pack, the bigger battery is probably the better choice. But it's easy to overlook these quibbles when you see the picture on the DVD-LV50. This is flat out the best image I think I've ever seen on a screen of ANY size. (In fairness, I don't believe I've seen HDTV, or if I have I didn't notice it.) Sharp, bright, with pure vivid colors and deep blacks, the picture quality is so good it's right off the chart. The picture really is almost three-dimensional, and the fact that it is appearing on a pint-sized player like this is rather astonishing. Other owners who said you won't notice the diminutive size aren't kidding. The picture is that enticing. Plug in a pair of earbud headphones, and the DVD-LV50 makes a great companion when you're dining alone. Though I haven't yet traveled with the player, I'm sure it would save the day on a train or airplane as well, if you have enough battery power or access to an AC outlet. One of the other significant pluses of the DVD-LV50 is its "free-floating" screen. Rather than being hinged to the back of the player as on most portables, the screen here rides on an articulated arm that hinges to the player. This gives you more flexibility adjusting the height and angle of the screen to optimize the picture. Otherwise the player seems to work like gangbusters, tracking every problem disc I can throw at it with nary a glitch or hiccup. One little detail that's very slick is the way the screen fades to black when you turn the power off - nice! Slow motion is also very smooth - guys know how important this feature is! In conclusion, the DVD-LV50 is quite a technological achievement, if a mite pricey. The day the price comes down ..., however, these players will simply fly off the shelves.

Summary: Good enough
Review: I am not sorry I bought this product. The screen is big enough for one person, looks fine and you can play with the aspect ratio, which comes in handy. The audio needs to go through a headset -- the speaker stinks. Downsides: The extra battery costs almost as much as the player and the power cord is bulky and isn't compatible with anything else, I think. We hauled this all over Europe without a problem. There may be better deals out there now, but I am satisfied with this unit.

Summary: Great Product
Review: I am very pleased with this portable DVD Player. My only complaint is that it did not come with a DC adapter plug to use in the car. I assumed that it would come with this. When looking into purchasing it seperately I found that it cost around [$$$] which seems to be a little high. Besides that complaint the DVD player works great. It plays the movies very clearly without skips or interruptions. The only way to improve this product would be to include the DC adapter!

Summary: Great Buy
Review: I bought this DVD for my family this Christmas. It was the best buy of the season. It has already paid for itself in entertain-
ment hours. The picture is GREAT. The sound is wonderful. We have taken it on the road with us and hooked it up to the t.v. in the hotel room. There have been times when we have used this instead of our home DVD. The only thing I have not tried is the battery.
I read all the reviews on this item and others. Everything I read in the reviews were right on target. I am glad I bought this DVD. Price did play a role in my purchase. I wanted to spend around 300 - 400.00 dollars. I did not look at too many DVD's that were higher. But for the money I am very happy.
