Portable DVD Players > COBY Portable DVD Players

A decent 7 incher for under £120

Advantages: Price, screen size, sound
Disadvantages: eats batteries when turned off, dvd hatch doesn't open fully on its own

...That was contributed by Coby tech support, so top marks for the company there. The sound is very good, loud and clear. It also has two headphone jacks, which is good if you have friends. Battery life is reasonable, I think about 3-4 hours, although I've never watched it for this long continuously. It does run the battery down if its turned off with the battery attached, so I always remove the battery when I'm not using it. A spot annoying, but ...

Review of Shinco SDP 6820

Movies on the Move

Advantages: Excellent picture and sound quality, five hour battery life on one charge
Disadvantages: No SD card slot

...researching, I decided on the Sony DVP-FX730W – which came in at £99.99 on Amazon and included a copy of the Disney film “Bolt”. As I had £95 in Amazon vouchers, I only had to stump up a fiver and the order was placed. Inside the Box * DVD player * “Bolt” DVD * Remote Control * Instruction Manual * Mains Charger Lead * Car Charger Lead * Audio/video leads to enable you to connect the DVD player to your TV. What’s It Like? The Sony DVP-FX730 ...
...increase significantly. The Sony DVP-FX730 has a massive five hours battery life, which is absolutely perfect for train journeys to London or for medium haul flights. This was the clincher for me when factoring in the pluses and minuses of various players and making my final decision. The first thing that I noticed when I removed the player from its box was how light this was in comparison to the old Shinco player. The player itself isn’t particularly ...

Review of Sony DVP-FX730

The Almost Indestructable Portable DVD Player!

Advantages: Excellent picture and sound, overall this was brilliant
Disadvantages: None

Packaging This came in a mainly red coloured cardboard box. It had sliver and white colours on it as well. The white colouring is used for the writing that you will see on either side, on the back and on the front as well. The silver is used in a horizontal line, the whole way around the rim of the lid and this goes completely around the box. The box is of medium size and has a handy little part at the top (you pull this out in order to open ...
...of the portable dvd player and the tiny remote that is provided with it. The box is very nice and well presented. I especially like the part on the lid to open and close it with. Because when you open "some boxes." You literally have to wreck them to get into them and then you are left with a demolished box. One that you want to throw in the bin! With things such as this dvd player and other electrical equipment. You cant really afford for that to ...

Review of Durabrand PDV-704

Philips PET 716 Portable DVD Player

Advantages: Sleek, modern design, good quality screen and speakers
Disadvantages: Battery life of just over 2 hours

A sleek but sturdy portable DVD player with up to 2 hours of battery life, good quality screen and speakers and mobile functionality. Recommended. Appearance The DVD player is very compact and attractive. It has a white outer shell and a black interior fascia. There is a flip up drawer on the bottom half where you put the DVDs in, which is opened by sliding the button on the front panel. It is smart and modern enough to be confident to use it on ...
...paid £70.00 for the player a few months ago, but I strongly advise other to shop around as I understand it can not be bought for around £50.00. It is well worth either price in my opinion. Operation The buttons on the player itself provide rather limited functionality: Play, Pause, Skip, Forward, Rewind, Stop, Menu and AV Out/DVD. It is by using the remote control that the player comes into its own. In addition to the functionality available by ...
