Samsung DVD-L1200 12-Inch Portable DVD Player Review
I've seen some of the reviewers complain about the size of this DVD Player. I have no problem at all when it comes to the size. Then they mention "why not get a laptop"? Well, I have one and it *does* play DVD's but it's twice as big (and 3x's heavier) and I rather have the portable DVD anytime. Of course, my laptop is over 5 years old and I'm sure there are lighter and smaller versions out there today. I've found it a HUGE lifesaver when I'm sick in bed (I have no TV in the bedroom) or just want to relax in a big comfy chair. I've taken it on a plane a few times, but I don't like to do that because it's a hassle to carry AND carrying my carry-on luggage. So I rarely bring it.
I'm glad I bought it and I DO think it's worth the money.

Samsung DVD-L1200 12-Inch Portable DVD Player Specifications
Early Adopters Pick: November 2003. The world's first portable DVD player with a 12-inch LCD screen.
Pushing the limits of portability, Samsung's widescreen DVD-L1200 DVD player manages to pack a laptop-rivaling 12-inch TFT LCD screen into a chassis standing a mere inch high when folded. Enjoy the best of your movies, music, and digital photography through the player's multiformat playback abilities, including MP3 and JPEG image CD-Rs and CD-RWs as well as standard DVD-Videos, DVD-Rs, and commercial CDs.
The whole family can listen, too, through either the unit's inline stereo speakers or its generous three .125-inch headphone jacks. Spatializer virtual surround simulates enveloping sound effects through two channels, and motion zoom allows extreme magnification of selected screen areas, without distortion, even while a movie is playing.
The screen displays discs using 480p progressive scanning (named for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image), creating a high-resolution picture with sharper images and fewer motion artifacts than conventional portables.
Other great features include screen inversion, which flips the widescreen picture vertically so you can mount the player upside down, as in a kitchen or an RV, and Samsung's Smart Screen Brightness Control, which monitors ambient light and adjusts the LCD's backlight accordingly to improve clarity and contrast and extended your battery life. The unit's rugged disc bay ensures that the show goes on no matter how you position the player.
Composite- and S-video outputs let you hook the player up with your home television, while its coaxial digital-audio output will channel discrete, 5.1-channel Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound to a range of audio/video receivers and surround speaker setups. For extra convenience, the AV output doubles as a switchable AV input, letting you hook up a camcorder or gaming device for portable big-screen viewing.
What's in the Box
DVD player, battery pack (affixes to back of player), AC adapter, power cord, credit-card remote control, remote battery, composite- and S-video interconnect cables, stereo analog audio interconnect, user's manual, and warranty information.
