Rating: - * move over reading in bed... ... I've always been the type to go to bed with a book. Now however, I have a choice: book or dvd! Due to life's committments, I'm unable to stay "current" with movies. Now, thru Netflix and this little dvd player, I can snuggle up in bed and watch those movies I've been wanting to see but didn't have the time. And with headphones attached I don't disturb my husband if he's reading or sleeping. While the speakers are ok, they are not strong enough to use if I'm trying to watch a movie while preparing supper. But, just having the verisitility or watching anywhere on a player that is the size of a hardcover book is pretty nice. The picture quality is very good, the buttons and menu very easy to use. I wouldn't change a thing! Rating: - * Great buy! ... I bought this DVD player for my 2 year old grandson to watch on a car trip I was planning to take with him. We never made the trip, but recently, after losing power during Hurricane Ike, it came in so handy keeping him occupied. He would sit in his high chair with the DVD player sitting on the tray, headphones on and he was enthralled. Oh, how I wish we had it when we flew to Colorado a few months ago!! The audio is not very loud, but our intention all along was for him to use it with his headphones, so that was not an issue for me. With the headphones on, the sound is great. It seems quite durable and the picture is very clear. I'm a big fan of Sony video products. I was also excited to find that it came with a car charger as well. When my 20 yr old daughter saw it the other day, she wanted one for herself. It was perfect for what I needed it for and the price was right as well. Rating: - * Great Travel DVD Player ... This portable DVD player offers a crystal clear image, large screen and great placement of controls. Happily, it came with a car charger -- a HUGE plus when taking this on the road to keep a little one entertained! The rotating screen is a great feature when traveling on the plane and we are very happy with this purchase. Rating: - * It's OK ... I bought this because of all the good reviews here. I was quite disappointed when I used it for the very first time. First, the resolution is pretty bad. I could not find any spec. on resolution, but it looks to have no more than 150 lines. Probably much less The other thing I don't like is the zoom feature. There are only the Normal and Full modes. When you select the Full mode, it stretches you screen more horizontally than vertically, so everything looks fatter on the screen, kind of like watching a 4:3 movie on the 16:9 format. If you watch a wide screen format movie, your choice will be (Normal) a small screen with black bars all around, or movie with fat people and small black bars on top and bottom of the screen. I should say that I've never owned another portable DVD player before, so I don't these shortcomings are common. I will check out other units and may have to return this one. Rating: - * Good DVD Player ... It's been just a month or so since I have purchased this DVD Player. But, I must say that I am very well satisfied with it. I must say, however, I had done review of available DVD Players on various web sites. The reviews posted by many other customers have been very helpful in making my decision. I could easily narrow down my search on this one based on the price, customer satisfaction and few other aspects I was looking for. |
