Toshiba SD-P1500 Portable DVD Player
THE BEST OF THE BEST
I PURCHASED THE TOSHIBA SDP1500 ON WED.6/6/01 AND RECEIVED IT ON FRI. 6/8/01 BY UPS GROUND. UPON OPENINIG THE BOX AND PLUGGING THE UNIT IN AND INSERTING A DVD, ( JARASSIC PARK ) THE COLOR AND PICTURE QUALITY WAS JUST UNBELEIVABLE. THE CONTRAST,COLOR PURITY , PICTURE SHARPNESS AND BRIGHTNESS WAS ABSOLUTELY GREAT, THE BEST I'VE SEEN ON ANY PORTABLE DVD SYSTEM. THE PICTURE WAS BRIGHT ENOUGH THAT IT DIDN'T WASHOUT EVEN IN BRIGHT AMBIENT LIGHT OR WHEN STANDING AT A 30 TO 60 DEGREE ANGLE. THE PICTURE FOCUS IS VERY SHARP, NO SIGNS OF ANY GRAININESS IN PICTURE EVEN WHEN YOU ARE CLOSE UP. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE SHARP DV-L80U, IT CAN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO THE PICTURE QUALITY OR PRICE OF THIS UNIT. THIS UNIT IS THE STATE OF THE ART OF PORTABLE DVD PLAYERS AS OF NOW, HOWEVER YOU MUST JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF AND I DON'T HAVE A DOUBT THAT IT WILL MAKE A BELEIVER OUT OF YOU. ALL OF THE CONTROLS THAT YOU NEED TO CONTROL THIS PLAYER FOR NORMAL PLAYING ARE LOCATED ON THE PLAYER, THE REMOTE IS CREDIT CARD SIZE, IDEAL FOR TRAVEL. I WILL LEAVE THE REST FOR YOU TO EVALUATE.
