Panasonic DVD-LV75 Portable DVD Player
This is it!
Ive been doing research on portable dvd's for like 7 months -- monitoring there progress -- seeing if the novelty pricing would go down --- reading all of the overheating messages on earlier units etc.<br />Finally I just  broke down and purchased one --- I was going to go with the Aiwa XD-DW1  simply for price (699) -- but hey what do i work for -- so I purchased the  Panasonic DVD-L75 --- the screen clarity is untouchable -- I used it on the  plane and was able to watch a full movie and the unit heated no more than a  laptop or any other machine thats been on for a while -- no signs of  overheating although i did see a troubleshooting paragraph about  overheating in the intructions<br />This unit is compact -- and if you were  like me and read through all of the posts from users and are uncertain  about buying something so expensive (would i use it enough blah blah blah)  --- Think of it like this<br />1. You cant the cash with you (live a little)  2. If you can afford it -- then just do it 3. If you cant wait 5 years for  the novelty pricing to go down and get one for like 200 then<br />It rocks and  although the is the latest and greatest pricey unit -- the money will  recover and im very happy with my purchase<br />Oh and **dont** purchase off  of an auction service or a refurbed unit or from some shady dealer you dont  know about -- if you dont purchase it from Amazon then get it from a  respected local source
