Panasonic DVD-L50 Portable DVD Player
The best of both worlds...
I bought this primarily to keep my companions occupied on the trip from my Long Island home to my beach house on the Eastern Shore of Delaware.  I am quite pleased with the unit and I can easily hook it up to my big screen TV  in a flash.  I enjoy it more than a laptop since its footprint is quite  small. The battery life is adequate and the sound quality with headphones  is outstanding.
