Polaroid PDV-0700 7" Portable DVD Player
One of my &quot;best buys!&quot;
I purchased this item mainly for my young son, who is addicted to the &quot;Baby Einstein&quot; series of videos.  He is also at the age when he hates being confined for very long and needs distraction.<br />After wrangling with an old Playstation and my old TV from my college dorm room (which only had a coaxial cable input on the back!  No RF plug inputs!  I wasn't in college THAT long ago!) to try and set up his room for DVDs, I decided that it would be best to purchase a portable DVD player since we take frequent long car trips to the lake house in WI, and we have a few hotel trips planned this summer.  Getting to take a shower and do my hair in the morning was starting to be more and more impossible, even though I started gating my son in his room with his toys, because he was bored in there without me (I'm not that exciting, or so I thought.)<br />So I looked at what was available online from Best Buy and decided that the Polaroid was the right price and had adequate features.  It worked great right out of the box, has fine picture quality (I'm not a real connoisseur or anything, but I can certainly stand to watch movies on the thing), and fine sound quality as far as I can tell.<br />Since this item is mainly for my son (and my daughter who will arrive in June), I think it is more than adequate, and I'm happy to report that the young one is now happy and occupied enough in his room with Baby Einstein for me to shower, dress, blow dry and make myself up without so much as a whimper.<br />If you're a serious movie viewer who really demands high picture and sound quality, you'll probably want to go with a higher-priced model with better features or a bigger screen.  For kids, though, the Polaroid is fine and I'm really excited to travel with it.  I'm just trying to figure out how to affix it in the car so that it won't fall over.  Other than that, we're looking forward to many years of use from this product!
