Audiovox DVD1680 7-Inch Portable DVD Player
Great player, my two cents worth
I am writing this because it was from reading the extremely helpful reviews here at Amazon that I purchased this very item.  I usually buy higher end stuff, and would have preferred the pricey Panasonic, but I decided to try out this Audiovox player because of the good price and reviews.  I was pleasantly surprised!  The picture is fine, sound was great even through a splitter to two sets of headphones (as is fine as well through the teeny speakers) - best of all the battery is solid, lasting at LEAST 3 hours.   Many people here have described the weight/bulkiness as an issue, but I had no problem in that regard.  I actually like that it sits heavily on a table on its rubber base, and is less likely to slip or be bumped off.  <br />There were no DVDs I had any problem playing provided they were clean.  Letterboxed DVD's are perfectly watchable on this size of screen, and Full-Frame ones are huge on this screen as they take advantage of the full square size, rather than being squished into the middle like they are on those wide-screen models.  One tip: the picture seemed best if I put all brightness, contrast and color saturation levels down to their lowest levels.<br />So bottom line is, while this is certainly not the highest quality electronic device you have ever seen, it definitely works, and I was impressed by it.
