Panasonic DVD-LS90 9-Inch Portable DVD Player
A good compromise with nice features
I shopped eight weeks for a unit. Looked at the so called no-name units but was not sold on them. Really wanted to buy a Sony portable DVD but the price was too expensive. The Panasonic  seemed to fit the bill. Nice features such as the six-hour play time. (This is a little deceiving because you have to turn the brightness and color down real low to get the full six hours.) But on a plane you probably can watch two full movies with this playing time. Other nice feature, such as the screen's ability to swivel is a plus. The picture quality is acceptable, audio quality through the tiny speakers is so-so. To remedy the audio problem, I hooked up an external set of Sony speakers (that can run on battery or AC) and the sound is teriffic!  The Sony speakers only cost 20 bucks for the pair. You can buy them anywhere. I'm hoping that panasonic will sell additional battery packs (for this particular unit) in the future so I can double the playing time. In conclusion, shopping for a DVD player was  time consuming and confusing. You probably won't find the perfect unit unless you buy a expensive lap top, so just go out and buy the Panasonic LS 90. It does the job for me! <br /> <br />
