Panasonic DVD-LS55 Portable DVD Player with 7-Inch Widescreen LCD
This is THE portable DVD Player to own...
I did a lot of research on portable Dvd players before deciding on this one. <br />This one somehow has been skipped over and most people know it's brother the DVD-LS50. In short I believe the key differences between the LS50 and this the LS55 are the battery life and the fm modulator on this unit. But the battery life is INCREDIBLE compared to any other similar player I've seen. Panasonic says it gets TEN hours of battery life. Most players barely get 2 or 2.5 hours. <br /> <br />From what I've seen so far the battery life is indeed great. I haven't run it a full 10 hours yet so I can't say it really gets a full 10 hours of play on the battery. But I've used it a lot and the battery meter has yet to drop in level. Even if Panasonic is not telling complete truth..imagine even getting 6-7 hour battery life. I did try the fm modulator in my car with Alpine radio. It was very good to so so. I guess it will depend on where you have the Panasonic vs your car stereo and antenna. But it sure does sound great hearing your DVDs thru your car speakers! <br />I was also VERY impressed that this unit has played EVERY cd, DVD  <br />I own...including home burnt DVD-R, DVD+R DVDS,all vcds, mp3 discs. I haven't tried RW discs yet. But this unit doesn't even say it plays DVD+R what a pleasant surprise. Matter of fact this unit seems to play some of my semi flawed discs much better than my home Sony multiformat DVD player. <br /> <br />The endless angles of the tilt of the screen are highly useable and a great feature too. The picture quality is very good..nice detail, contrast, and color overall. <br />In short if you want to read more about the LS55 read the LS50 reviews..just add a TEN hour battery and the abilty to stream your dvds on your car stereo speakers. <br />BTW the battery seems normal size...no huge battery taking up any extra room than the standard 2.5 hour battery. <br />HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
