Polaroid PDV-0700 7" Portable DVD Player
great so far.
haven't put it through a full test yet but its worked so far. one question is it a ture widescreen? how do you get it to do it? i'm currently using zoom which leads me to another question, how do i get it to take off the thing showing me its on zoom? i have searched high and low for a player that is affordable and still has inputs. this was my pick.      next day update: called customer support about the zoom thing. they claim its only for jpegs so tough if you want to watch a movie with it. its not a true widescreen, so it letter boxes. it was advertised on best buy's website as a widescreen, box and others don't really say so. i ask the cs if it is she doesn't know. i tried to convince her that if it was a widescreen, then it wouldn't letterbox a widescreen movie. went into why it letterboxes and aspect ratios but all she could say is the player is playing what the dvd tells it too. but its not too bad, it probably looses about a quarter inch on top and bottom. so its still quite a good sized picture. i was going to buy a mintek 5&quot; for 120 before i saw it play lotr at the store. it was literally about a 1 inch tall video, the rest letterboxed. so i think i might still keep it, its cheaper than the alternatives and i think i can live with it not being widescreen.      a while later review: i've taken this on some road trips (approx 2500 miles) and its just amazing. i don't think i could have survived the trip without it. the included cigarrette adapter is a necessity. i don't use the battery much and thats a good thing since it doesn't last very long. i haven't watched a movie straight on battery power, but i have watched about 4-5 episodes of the simpsons on one charge, but thats about 20 minutes each with out ads and only about 1 or 2 at a time. speakers stink on this, i tried to listen to simpsons through the speaker and you can't hear anything over the noise of the roads. if you use headphones its fine.
