Panasonic DVD-L50 Portable DVD Player
Best Little &quot;Toy&quot; a Person Could Have
This little DVD player is the best possible thing one could have.  It fits perfectly anywhere you want it and fits into most overhead storage compartments.  There are several things that make this an excellent buy though.<br />First of all, the quality of the picture is outstounding.  This  is almost as good as HDTV (High Definition Television) because you have a  crystal clear picture projected onto an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)  screen.  Secondly, when it is output to a TV, the picture is just as good  as any other DVD player, but the bonus there is that this device is  extremely small, comapred to those large and bulky DVD players (sure they  cost less, but you can't take them on a seven hour flight from here to  England.).<br />There is also the controls and output.  The controls on this  DVD Player are quite easy to use.  Without looking at the instruction  manual, I was able to determain what a majority of the buttons did.  The  menus are quite accessible and manueverable due to a tiny  &quot;joystick&quot; that allows you to swivel and pick your option.   However, there are also output controls as well.  The device uses  fiber-optic cables which therefore means that it can be connected directly  to a TV using the three wires (two sound, red and white, and video,  yellow).  When this is hooked up to a TV, the picture and sound quality is  unbelievable.<br />Then the ironic question must be asked &quot;why not just  use my DVD player on the computer&quot;?  Well, of course if you have a  laptop the quality is fine, and of course, you can manage your budget while  watching a movie, put there are some good things to having a DVD player as  well.  If your want to play a DVD movie for your family, wouldn't you  rather have it on a TV screen than on a small LCD screen?  Of course, if  you're on an airplane and want to watch it there, you can't exactly display  it on the TVs there.  Thus, I can only say that one is not better than the  other.<br />In conclusion, Ican only say that this DVD player is quite ideal  because it is compact, picture-perfect, and can add whole lots of fun to  your life.
