Cyberhome CH-LDV700B Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch Screen

Cyberhome CH-LDV700B Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch Screen Review

I love my portable DVD player. Sure, the battery life really stinks, but other than that my DVD player can do anything.
I wouldn't pay 5 for it now, what with more superior machines out, but I am fond of this one and would recommend it to friends.
I have not had any issues with the disc being off balance, or any strange noises coming from my machine.
You can probably find a better DVD player for the same price, if not less.

Initial IDM-1560 Portable DVD Player , Silver

Initial IDM-1560 Portable DVD Player , Silver Review

This is a very nice cute little DVD player. The size of a portable CD player, it is easily transportable from TV to TV, and to the car, the reason I bought it; my 3-year old minivan came with a VHS player with an auxiliary input, so this is the perfect size to sit on the floor in the back for the kids to watch their DVDs (no more reason to buy VHS movies ever again!) Playing is perfect, no skips at all navigating the twists and turns of Chicago's bumpy roads.

Just a few minor gripes: When I power off my car, the cigarette lighter goes dead, so the player doesn't remember where it was on the DVD, so you have to track forward to the correct scene (I guess that's more of a gripe about my van than about the player). Also, the remote control is very weak; you have to be within a few feet of the player and be pointing right at it for the remote to work; hard for the kids to do when the player is on the floor.

I chose this model because it comes with both an AC power cord for in the house and a car adapter for the cigarette lighter, so you don't have to buy an extra adapter. But be aware that it does not come with a battery; the manual describes an optional snap on rechargeable battery pack, but I don't know what that would cost.

Initial IDM-1560 Portable DVD Player , Silver Feature

• Portable DVD player with DVD and CD/MP3 CD compatibility and wireless remote control
• Anti-shock system ensures smooth playback during active use
• Includes AC power adapter and DC car adapter for road use; headphone jack allows private listening with optional headphones
• Composite- and S-video outputs; optical digital-audio output for Dolby Digital and DTS surround passthrough to a compatible AV receiver

RCA DRC618N Tablet-Style 7-Inch Portable DVD Player

RCA DRC618N Tablet-Style 7-Inch Portable DVD Player Review

I bought this little player for air travel.
Originally, I was looking at the fold open style until I saw this one. The price was right, so I took the chance.

Great player!
Picture quality is excellent for the size.
No 'fold open' hinges or latches to wear out.
I especially like the design of setting it up like a picture frame stand on the airplane serving tray in front of me.
Battery life so far has been 3:30 to 3:50 which is enough to get through "Return of the King".

The "back of seat" bag (included) looks like it would be quite nice to use in the van. We have a factory DVD player, but now have the option of letting some of the kids watch a DVD while others play N64...with headphones all around.

In short, I am pleased with the quality/value of the player.

Mintek MDP-1770 7-Inch Portable DVD Player

Mintek MDP-1770 7-Inch Portable DVD Player Review

RELIABILITY

Purchased this in mid-2004 -- used for lots of car trips, airplane trips, and motels. Still works. This is quite a robust little DVD player, and a darn good buy.

Black screen problem -- it seemed to get a bit confused; turn it off, switch to the output type you want (onscreen is 'tft', a different display is 'video'). The black screen problem went away. Note, even when the screen is black, you can see the image in strong light, it's just that the light behind the screen is not on because it thinks you're watching a different TV.

It starting making clicking noises a couple of years ago as the disk spins around. Obviously, this is not a harbinger of doom, as it has still been running strong.

I had problems with it recognizing a disk, once. Turns out there was condensate on the lens, so I dried it and the problem was again resolved.

FEATURES
Pretty well listed everywhere else. Yes the image is good. Yes the sound is better through earphones. Battery life is 2.5 hours...still, after 2 years.

Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black)

Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) Review

This Blu-ray disc player by Panasonic impresses me. The setup is very easy; you'll need a "HDMI" cable but that's about it for setup. It works very well with my HD television. It's important to note from the start, however, that the degree to which this will display images and produce high quality sound is only as good as the rest of the other devices you're using--for example, the HD television and/or receiver. The load time is a few seconds more but for the splendid picture quality along with that crystal clear audio it's well worth waiting a few extra seconds.

I use this almost exclusively for watching Blu-ray discs; the quality of the sound and video is flawless. The upconversion for standard DVDs is also nothing short of wonderful, too! However, there's more to this machine if you want to use it to its fullest capabilities. Through the Internet you can use this player to view YouTube, weather and more. You can also watch video using Amazon's On-Demand streaming service; and that's excellent. In addition, I like that the player has an Ethernet port, a USB slot--and there's a slot for a SD card, too! It has the energy star seal of approval, too.

It's very important to note that this is, in a sense, a type of computer. Therefore, expect the machine to check for necessary updates (aka firmware). Just in case this doesn't happen, don't panic--there's a way to get around this potential problem. Go to the Panasonic website and you will find very clear instructions to let you download the required updates so this Blu-ray player will continue to function. Specifically, download the updates onto a blank CD-R and then just copy them to the player by inserting the CD-R with the updates into the player's drive. That will do the trick--after all, you don't want to have this player cease to function; it would be reduced to a black box, left all alone to gather dust in the land of unwanted, forgotten and castaway toys. This is a rather minor inconvenience; the player works so well that I can practically overlook this.

Overall, this is a good Blu-ray player although I hope that down the road Blu-ray players won't need updates. I highly recommend this Blu-ray player by Panasonic.

Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) Overview

Panasonic has always been at the cutting edge of Blu-ray technology, but its latest range of players looks to push the boundaries even further. The DMP-BD60 is the entry-level player in the company's latest three-strong line-up - which also includes the step-up DMP-BD80 and the DMP-BD70V Blu-ray/VHS combi (no, really) - and the big breakthrough on these models is the inclusion of Viera Cast functionality, also found on the company's Z1, V10 and G15 NeoPDP TVs.
