Sony DVP-FX1021 10.2-Inch Portable DVD Player
Very close to perfect
I got this player because it was the only high end player that I could find that supported +R and +RW formats which I use on my computer when converting home video. The screen is very nice and the battery life should be excellent. There are two problems with it that I can see from a user point of view. Neither is a showstopper but they are surprising misses from a company with Sony's experience.  <br /> <br />One is that the remote gives you no way to adjust the volume. You have to use the volume on the side of the machine. You also need the remote to fast forward thru part of the DVD. The unit has a chapter skip button but on fast forward.  <br /> <br />Second, it is almost impossible to tell when the battery is done charging. The charging indication is displayed on a small LCD panal on the front edge of the machine. It is almost unreadable unless the light is very strong. It is a pain to figure out what the charge is on the battery and if it is done or not. <br /> <br />If you are looking for a good, large screen portable DVD player with good battery life, this is a good choice but a few poor design decisions keep it from being a great choice. <br />
