Sharp DV-L70U 7" Portable DVD Player
Not as bad as they say...
I have been doing some research for some time for a portable dvd player.  Like most people, I am not a business person traveling the world.  I am just a big kid who likes to purchase high tech gadgets.  I must say that I was very impressed with the quality thus far for the Sharp.  The picture was very impressive...but I did get one that had a burnt pixel.  No big deal, in fact the manual addresses this not so common problem.  That small flaw has in no way detracted from my overall experience.  But, I felt I should mention it because some people are very detail oriented.  The other problem I seem to have is the daily storage of the player.  I went out and purchased a case from CD Projects that is supposed to hold a Zip drive, it's perfect when the dvd player and accessories are all that I want to carry plus it's much smaller than the Case Logic Dvd case.  Mon-Fri I travel back and forth to work and I carry \\"back pack\\".  Needless to say I don't want to carry both bags.  Someone should offer a stream line snug case for just the player. Last is the size of the remote...it's full size!  It also controls some the features that are not offered on the player control panel.  I made the mistake of displaying the battery life and counter on the screen using the remote and then forgetting the remote at home.  I was stuck with that display until I got back home because there was no manual override on the panel...
