Pioneer PDV-LC10 Portable DVD Player
This is a great player ...
... not to mention a reasonable price. Seriously, I checked out the price  here last month and it seems to have dropped by $100 or more. Now is the  time to buy if you're looking for a portable DVD player/TV combo.<br /> Before  purchasing, I had read the reviews here on Amazon and compared them with  the highly rated panasonic model. Both players seem to be well thought of  by owners. I then checked out a live demo in a local store for both. It was  no contest. The pioneer took the prize.<br /> It's not that the panasonic  model didn't look good or perform well -- it did. But the larger LCD screen  of the pioneer made all the difference in the world.<br /> The picture is  clear and sharp and does not have any 'ghosting' or 'pixelation' apparent  with it. Visual quality was as good as or better than a regular television  set. Reviewer 'cons' stated a tinny sound (using the built in speakers) and  a somewhat other than top-notch picture. Frankly, I've not experienced  either of these problems with the player I bought. Granted, the sound is  better with headphones, but is entirely adequate using the speakers only --  and as I mentioned before, the LCD picture is very sharp - the color,  vibrant.<br /> Another feature you'll appreciate is the clustered controls on  upper right surface of the player. These are logically organized and large  enough (without being overly large) so that they can be easily reached and  used. The player has a remote that comes with it, but honestly, I bought it  for travel and bedside use -- I doubt I'll ever have a use for the remote.  Still, it's there for those who want to hook the device up to their regular  television set in lieu of having a larger 'desktop' DVD player.<br /> All  cables and misc items are included with the player -- including two power  cables -- so you can watch a movie with the AC adapter while also  recharging the 3.5 hour battery (the battery does not charge while mounted  in the player itself - rather it has a separate charging unit). There is  nothing extra to buy except for the DVDs you want to watch.<br />  Light-weight, attractive, sturdy and reliable; this device is perfect for a  car or plane trip, or use in a hotel room. Parents will find it a great  boon for long trips and the inevitable &quot;when will we get there  daddy?&quot; from the kiddies. Insomniacs (like myself) will love the  player since you can use the headphones and watch your favorite DVDs in bed  while not disturbing your sleeping spouse.<br /> Buy it and join the multitude  of satisfied users.<br />** Highly Recommended **<br />~P~arate charging unit).
