Rating: Summary: Do Not Buy This Product!! Review: Let's start with the good features of this product. The screen is the largest available at this time. And it is very thin. Now for all the poor features of this player. First the screen is hard to see in daylight even when at it's brightest setting. Second the battery only lasts about 1 1/2 hours. Not enough time for even one movie. The battery also needs to be charged immediately prior to use. After a couple of days it depletes it's charge. Replacement batteries are about $150! Samsung promises a high capacity battery soon but not at this time. An auto adapter is only available from an after-market company. The sound is so low that I am forced to purchase a device to play it through my auto's radio speakers. It does work well with the headphones and there are two jacks available. But while traveling in a car you can not hear the sound coming from the speakers. The memory stick reader is a nice feature, but if want to view pictures over two megapixels it takes an eternity to load them. My advice is to spend your hard-earned money on a different product!
Rating: Summary: Pretty bad quality Review: Poor build quality mars this feature-rich portable DVD player. BTW, I measured the screen with a ruler and it's less than 10" as advertised, and the screen quality is terrible, especially when ourdoors. The worst thing, I had two units and both had 5-6 bad pixels, you know, dots that show just one color (red in one case and orange in the other). The buttons also feel loose, and the overall quality just feels subpar. My only other experience is with Toshiba portable players and they have much better screen and quality.
Rating: Summary: Like a Mini-Home Theater! Review: Samsung has consistently been one of the best electronic companies in the business. Their first take on the Portable DVD Player is no exception. I watch DVDs on this every night! I bought the unit about 5 months ago, and it hasn't tarnished one bit. Let's start with the picture quality. The 10" inch screen is going to attract a lot of people. The LCD quality is bright, and radiant. It is glare-protected, and very sharp. Also has about one million pixels, making it beautiful. I'm really not kidding, this is a high-definition screen. Everyone will love the cinema mode. The sound? Beautiful. It can hook up to a DTS connection, or a 5.1 Dolby Digital sound system. With new technology, if you plug in headphones, you actually get the 5.1 digital sound THROUGH the headphones! That means sitting on your couch, it's like a theater. I suggest watching in the dark, so it's like a real theater. Battery is pretty impressive. I got about 3 and a half hours per charge. An extra is very expensive though.. I'm hoping my battery doesn't run out of juice any time soon. No problems with this player. I suggest buying noise-cancelling headphones and a case logic player case for it. My personal problem with this is that I prefer the 7" - 8" screens. These are starting to feel a bit like laptops. Since I watch movies at a close range, I don't want to strain my eyes. Definately a must-buy if you have any interest in this model. Price ain't too shabby either!
Rating: Summary: best dvd player yet Review: the ten inch screen is fabulous. colors are beutiful and this machine has everything one could ask for. i purchased it today and although the price is high, it is worth it. the remote is small like a credit card. the only negative is the battery charger. it is a three prong plug that goes into a two prong holder. if it is not placed just right,then it will not charge. took a few minutes to figure that part out. the instruction manual is also excellent that's how i found the problem.
