Toshiba SD-P1700 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch Widescreen LCD
Very nice
This is actually my third portable DVD player, the first two being cheap brands.  I can now say that brand name electronics are definitely better. <br /> <br />The first noticeable difference is that the unit itself is smaller and sleeker than the cheaper ones.  I like that the exterior is black and the interior is silver.  Also, the way the battery mounts on the bottom is much better than the ones that stick out the back. <br /> <br />The battery life is rated as 4 hours, and I would say it is a very accurate if not somewhat modest claim.  I took a trip 4 hours away and it lasted all the way there and halfway back, and I didn't even have time to fully charge it. <br /> <br />My only gripe is that the volume decreases slightly when using two pairs of headphones, and it can be hard to hear in a car.  However, it is minor, and I would highly recommend this player over the cheap brands.  Also, you can't go wrong with Sony, Panasonic, or Philips.
