Advantages: Good quality screen and sound. Region-free. Disadvantages: Would have liked some longer playback time.
Here we have the Panasonic DVD-LS91. It's a portable DVD player by the company that brought the public the first ever portable DVD player a few years back. I guess the real question is then…how much an improvement is the LS91 on their previous efforts, and indeed the competition in this highly competitive market ?
Well I always like to start with the appearance. This is a small device, silver in colour that has a 9in LCD screen. That in itself makes ... ...a car seat. The screen itself is a widescreen display too which is vital for people intending on viewing dvds filmed in the 16:9 ratio (can result in massive borders on a non-widescreen). Something that some people may not consider is that most people see in widescreen format too. Think about it. You can generally see more to the left and right than the top down. This is probably why people I know get less headaches than they used to with the square ...

...Using in a car
Panasonic portable DVD players are apparently the best for in-car use. I've only used it the once, but it was very easy to set up. The player comes with a headrest mounting bracket, which was easy to set up in the car - although I would recommend that parents don't leave their children to do it because it is probably a bit to fiddly for little hands. I had absolutely no problem with watching a DVD in the car - there is shock protection ... ...but I am surprised that Panasonic haven't come up with a way to make the pciture better.
Price
I was shocked when I researched the price to find that it is in the range of £200. The cheapest I found was online from 121Electricals (not a site I'm familiar with for £198.45. The Curry's price is £226.99. I would recommend shopping around for it, especially at this time of year, because I do think it is expensive at full price. I would have thought ...

Advantages: Screen size and picture quality ease of use. Disadvantages: None
I bought this so that I could take it from my house to a friends house with ease because of the small size. I found that I never needed to look at the instruction manual as the DVD-LS91 was very easy to use. The DVD-LS91 has a 9 inch screen and I have to say the picture quality is excellent, very smooth and with excellent sharpness and colours, the sound quality is also very good, the sound will not be compairable to your TV but what do you expect ... ...adequte in terms of loudness and quality. You can tilt the screen to a variety of angles so you will always be able to see the screen clearly. The rechargable battery lasts for 3 hours but I find that I never use the battery because the DVD-LS91 comes with an AC adaptor and this is the usual method that I use. You also have the option to connect this unit into a TV and use the dvd function off it, which can be handy if you want to view a dvd on a ...
