After going through 3 portables , Im satisfied. This is a lightweight product: Panasonic LS82 vs Philips 855 vs Sony Fx 810.
I have so far tested out Philips DVP855/37. I really loved it, except that once the internal battery dies, your out of luck, unless your in the warranty range, in which they will replace the entire unit, thier standard warranty is for 12 months, no extended warranty available. Disposable DVD Player? No thanks.
I have so far tested out the Sony FX810/R. This was quite limiting that the technologies ...

Battery Battery Battery We used this on a round trip flight to Florida from California. Our toddler loved it and when she was asleep I got to watch my movies. The picture is very good, the volume good enough, and we didn't have to charge it the entire trip. The tilting screen works great for watching on airplane tray tables even when the seat ahead is reclined. The headrest mount is also very useful.

Best for the price you might ever find I bought this item, because I am frequently traveling on business around the world. So, the first and foremost reason was the huge battery power of this DVD player. From the start, I took it to Japan and Korea, followed by a trip to Eurpoe. since the Battery charger is fit for all currents in the world, all you need is a Adapter kit. Put it on normal in brightness and combine it with a very good Headphone ( like Bose's )and the battery will last you at least 8 hours.
Best thing I ever did f...

Solid portable DVD player I recently purchased the Panasonic DVD-LS82 portable DVD player after reviewing many competing players (including other Panasonics). What sold me on this player was the long battery life claim and the large screen. Last week I had the opportunity to test the player on a flight from New Jersey to California. I have two small kids and keeping them occupied during the entire 6 hour flight was a priority. The player performed very well; the battery lasted the entire time (though to be fair I had...

7-8 Hr Battery Life in Real Life Tests I just got the LS82 last week and have been very happy. Picture quality is great, sound is more than adequate and fit and finish is super. Buyer beware, Panasonic only offers a 10-day (yes, 10-day!) warranty on the battery so I've been putting it to the test since I got it. In real world situations (screen brightness in the middle of the range, using the external speakers) I've been able to get between 7 and 8 hours of use from the battery. Of course, this is a lot less than the 12-hour clai...

Excellent player -- best out there at this price point I did exhaustive research for a DVD player that (1) is good and packed with features and is (2) intelligently designed so you can use it in you car and on the go without too much hassle.
This fit the bill perfectly. Had it for over a month and the few times my daughter used it at home and in the car we've haven't had any problems. It's securely fastened in the car and the screen is flexible so you can adjust the angle.
The picture quality is quite nice. Perfect for shows fo...

A good value in a portable I bought this player for a recent trip with a small child (so it's not really for me, unless you count the value of distracting the kid on a long flight). It's pretty lightweight and compact, especially compared to the Toshiba SD-P2900 10.2 Inch Portable DVD Player I bought and then exchanged for this one), so it's easy to tote.
Other nice features: Flexible hinges let you orient the screen in several different ways, even flat against the deck, so it's really great in confined spaces ...

Haven't had it long, but great so far I finally decided to get a portable DVD player as I had some long car rides coming up and a 6 and 11 year old. My first forays into research were discouraging as every model seemed to have its admirers and detesters. This version didn't have much written about it, but Panasonic seemed to have a decent reputation. I was actually going to by the LG model I saw, but it was so new, I had no info, and while at the store, the clerk couldn't figure out how to work it. Then I was going to get the So...

Wonderful on the road! We bought this for our daughter's first long car trip. We logged 4000 miles from San Jose, CA, and visited the great American Southwest (Death Valley, Zion, Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater, Petrified Forest, etc.). The battery lasts quite a while but easily runs off the car's battery as needed. The picture and sound are quite good and our daughter was completely absorbed in her movies during long periods of time driving. A great little player with a nice screen size...perfect for the road with a...
