Advantages: portable, picture is really clear
Disadvantages: no

This is a nice portable dvd player to have when going on a trip or even when the power goes out. The graphics are really good and the volume is pretty loud. It will play two or three movies before the battery dies. I bought one about five years ago and it still works like new. It has never tore up since I have had it. I have even took mine out on the porch and watched on a pretty day. I just think it is really nice to have one. Plus it is not too ... Read review

Advantages: Design
Disadvantages: Battery

...Here are some quotes from Philips customer support: "We do not manufacture and sell replacement batteries for the unit." and "We apologize to inform you that the battery is not replaceable. It is an internal part of the portable DVD player and you cannot purchase it anywhere." Also, Philips told me, "We do not have available information about the average life duration of the built-in battery." Basically, Philips is saying they do not know how ... Read review

Panasonic DVD LS 80 I picked up this portable DVD player a while back when I went on vacation, just to have something to watch really, and my eye was caught by this, the Panasonic DVD LS80 portable DVD player as I was moseying through the airport shop. I'll just take you through some of the features of this DVD player and let you know how it performs and whether or not I would recommend it. Lets have a look at some of the specs from this portable ...
...Jacks: 2 (handy!) The Panasonic DVD LS80 has an 8.5inch screen which is larger than some other portable DVD players I have seen, but unfortunately, I did not have the luxury of Ciao to read up on such devices, and as such I was surprised to find that the picture quality on this portable DVD player was actually quite poor. I had thought that DVDs would look great on the small screen but on this player they look a bit blurry and pixelated and everything ... Read review

...can get a 10.2-incher from Initial - and so far, that's a choice worth making. If you have the right content, even a five-incher can be fun, but these days, there's no reason to go below seven inches.

Several brands, including Kawasaki, offer 8.4 inch screens that, because of framing, look and feel larger. Even then, ten inches is the Cadillac standard ...
...the nice features of the Initial is its sleakness. The 1210 sits fairly flat (the dimensions are available in the product description) and comes with a stylish piggy-back battery that lasts several hours. For my purposes, the less intrusive the battery, the better. That way, you can flip up the screen into a fully-extended, vertical position for hanging. The 1210's piggy-back battery isn't quite as practical as a bottom-clinger, but at least the ... Read review
