Summary: Sharper than Panasonic, Cheaper than Sony
Review: In searching for portable DVD players I looked at the Sharp, the Panasonic and the Sony. The Sony has brilliant picture quality, and a bigger screen, ... in DenDenTown Osaka. Sharp and Panasonic are in the same ballpark for price, ... The Panasonic is potentially better, since it has rechargeable batteries, and is therefore the only truly portable player (among these three). However, the screen is a touch smaller than the Sharp, and does not come across as very bright. In all cases, you can use the player as a portable, or plug into a larger screen and sound system. Of these portables, I bought the Sharp because picture quality is pretty good and it is not obscenely expensive. In use, there seems to be an irritating habit for it to "freeze" momentarily, and whether this is caused by DVD glitches or the Player I don't know, not having access to any other player to check. Overall I'm fairly satisfied with it, and I would recommend it to those in the market for a portable. Now if I could only expand on the Region encoding possibilities..

Summary: GREATEST PORTABLE EVER
Review: Let me start off by saying that this portable DVD player is the greatest out there. I will tell you why:

1. Picture quality is superb! There is none better (I have seen some of the "best"). This machine produces images that defy its compact size.

2. Portability. The thing is tiny, and still provides great picture and sound quality.

3. Functions. This thing plays DVDs, DVD-Rs, CDs, VCDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs. It also doubles as a stay-at-home DVD player. Great!

4. Sound. Perhaps not from the built in speakers, but with a good set of headphones, the sound is INCREDIBLE. I recommend the Aiwa Noise Canceling headphones (model #HPCN5). Although, the speakers do provide decent sound.

5. Price. Buy it at ..., it's only [price]!! What a bargain!

6. Battery life. With headphones lasts a good 4.5 hours.

7. Screen Size. 7 inches rules!

8. Screen itself. It does not reflect any light back. Great!

Some people will tell you to buy a 5" or 5.8", but don't. Those things are TINY! Maybe an 8", but those can be costly. Hands-down, I recommend this product over all else!

Suggestions: Buy good headphones.

THIS THING IS SOOO COOL!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Poor picture quality
Review: The size and weight of the unit is a 5+ star value. The sound quality is also rather good but the picture quality is very, very poor.... BR>One of the problems I think is the three stage back light. It really is only a two stage back light. The third stage is total black and no picture. There are no real adjustment options to this unit so you are stuck with what you get right out of the box....

Summary: These reviews are not an exaggeration!
Review: You simply cannot know how good this DVD player is until you have one of your own. Mine goes everywhere with us and is an excellent at-home DVD player. The images are absolutely crystal clear! With a good set of head phones -- you can't escape being part of the entertainment! I could not believe how good this unit is until I bought one. I tried them all and the laptop computers as well - nothing compares! Buy one today!
