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 the train or in public generally. Price I 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...

DVD player for girls with a passion for fashion

Advantages: remote, nice design, portable
Disadvantages: battery pack is a bit bulky

...I am sure anyone with a similar aged daughter to mine (9 on Sunday) will have had exactly the same situation as me last Christmas. My daughter came to me with an Argos book in one hand and one hell of a shopping list in the other! When we added it all up, it came to about £700 (and she's good at maths so I think she was pushing things a little there!). We whittled it down a bit (!) and it still left her spoilt rotten. Now, I had really good intentions to stick at that list... but it didn't happen! Most of you will have seen the many Argos adverts prior to Christmas with the half price offers. I caught the end of one and saw this Bratz portable DVD player in the pile of toys shown on the advert so went online for a look. I had been considering buying it since my friend bought it her daughter for a birthday present and told me...

Review of Bratz Portable DVD Player

portable dvd player 8-in dcp850 philips

Advantages: quality of image is like watching normal tv/dvd, IPOD classic docking
Disadvantages: can't think of any

...I was looking for a dvd player to take while travelling abroad. The philips DCP range was actually quite new and had only been out a couple of months. In addition this bay lets the IPOD classic integrate as part of the unit and is flush so you can't tell. when you are not using the IPOD docking you can store the remote there. The remote is very handy and perfectly sized with the same functions as you would have in a normal DVD player The quality is as good as any normal TV/dvd combo so there is no compromise on the viewing experience. I spent all my time in airport watching my home tv shows. The speakers are really good too and do not compromise the viewing experience at all It is a fantastic unit for travelling and I highly rate it, is tough enough to take knocks while travelling but treat with care...

The Best Portable DVD Player For This Price!

Advantages: Great picture, Good audio, Nice to look at.
Disadvantages: Sound cannot go as high as some other portable DVD players.

...this product was because I often keep lots of pictures on my iPod by using it as a memory device. With this DVD player I could easily view my images strait from my iPod with no worries at all. This is really great for viewing slideshows as I do not need to keep swapping disks as I can just stream the images from my iPod. I find this feature also saves me on disk usage as I can now view all my home made images on a DVD player without the need to burn the images to a disk. This has saved me a countless number of disks as I often take many stills for slideshows in my Media Studies classes as well as my photography and film classes. Overview = This is the latest portable DVD player from Phillips that is designed more to save on price than to include all the latest features. This does not mean however that the quality of what you are...

Review of Philips PET730

Brilliant portable DVD player

Advantages: Looks great, plays great, lots of accessories, multiregion
Disadvantages: no free headphones

...I frequently travel on the train for 3 hour journeys each way so I wanted a portable DVD player to stop me being bored rigid. I happily chose the Shinco 1731A portable DVD player for the following reasons 1) The seven inch model was small, easily portable but the colour ActiveMatrix TFT screen didn't seem too small when watching films on the train. THe screen also has a 400:1 contrast ratio giving really clear pictures. 2) I wanted a multiregion portable DVD player so I could use all formats (1-6). This DVD player also plays other formats, including DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, JPEG and Kodak Picture CD. The Shinco also has multi language/angle/subtitle capability, zoom play and programmable play and comes with a tiny remote control. 3) I wanted a portable DVD player that I could use with my TV set at home or in...

MY Philips DVD Player

Advantages: Looks nice, fairly priced and great audio/visual
Disadvantages: None as of yet

...--Introduction-- There is at last another addition to the Philips electrical family in our household. I am very pleased to say that this DVD player is a gift to me and now sits proudly in the seclusion of my own bedroom. I have been waiting for a while for my very own DVD player because there often isn't a solid two or so hours free time on the main living room television. It means that I hardly ever get to watch DVD's which can be very annoying. This DVD player is fairly up-market, a decision we made so that it would have a longevity and wouldn't need replacing for a number of years yet. This was purchased in store at Comet for £125 and it can be found at amazon.co.uk for £119.99. --Picture Playback-- The televison that the DVD player is wired up to, is around five years old but the quality is excellent. The pictures are...

Review of Philips DVP720SA

Philips DVP 3120 - nice little DVD player

Advantages: Fair price
Disadvantages: Sound is ok - but not brilliant

...I bought the DVP 3120 because I needed a new DVD player and this one was recommended by a friend. Obviously I wanted a good quality one (who doesn?t?) and did not want to pay too much for it. After six month usage I can honestly say I am very satisfied. This was a good buy. I do have a lot of space at home. But I like things being tucked away, looking not too bulky and this one seemed a very good fit. At the moment it sits on top of my television. Sound: Quite nice but does not work to well with a surround system. The quality just gets lost a little bit. Getting started: The manual is great and good to understand. It?s very easy to set it up. Just plug it into the power socket and attach the scart cable. Voila, that?s it. Nice little details: This DVD player seems to play all DVD?s you can think of. I played self...

A Traveler-Friendly DVD Player

Advantages: Ideal for travelers
Disadvantages: Battery has low powertime capacity

...Traveling used to be a hard time for me and my hubby when we bring our two kids with us. The backseat of the car had always been so noisy. The kids just fight over nonsense things and oftentimes I had to yell just to stop them from fighting. A long travel with the family members must be fun but the screaming kids at the backseat were so hard to put off. Last summer, we agreed to go to a 2-week camping. Before packing anything, I had to address a serious issue; the screaming kids at the backseat of my car. My two boys are lovely and they are great (every mom will say that). It?s just that one would not stop teasing the other when we?re on a long journey. No matter how they promised to behave, they would end up fighting and screaming. Then I decided to buy Philips PET740 portable DVD player hoping it would solve the problem...

Phillips GoGear

Advantages: Great Player
Disadvantages: None I Can Think Of

...------------------------------- Phillips GoGear HDD085 ------------------------------- Off we go with the Phillips GoGear HDD085 proving to be one of the best MP3 players that I have ever had. Of course most people won?t have heard of it but it is very much in line with the ipod in some respects. Upon wanting a suitable MP3 player I decided to do a little bit of research as always and then try some out. At the time the ipod?s were just being released and everyone was trying to get hold of them even though they were still very high in costs. So not really wanting to pay for an ipod I carried on looking around for another device that could hold a very lot of songs and then listen to them with a decent set of headphones. That?s where I came around to get this snaggy little thing from Argos costing me just over a hundred pounds...

Panasonic Portable DVD player Review.

Advantages: Great if you work away.
Disadvantages: Battery life

...The Panasonic LS80-K is quit a stylish little portable DVD player with its black interior and silver housing this looks the business. And not only does it look the business but it is and I can gladly say that the Panasonic LS80-K portable DVD player also delivers. Perfect for those who live on the move a lot such as contract workers or truck drivers. But you don't have to live on the move to appreciate owning one of these I for instance have used it on many occasions when on long fishing or camping trips. I must admit that not all my fishing trips are packed with activity so this is good to keep you entertained. Some of the main features include an 8.5 inch LCD screen, with DVD player which can play DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-RAM. The Panasonic LS80-K will also play all of your DivX films as well as JPEG, VCD and most other media...
