Philips PET710 7-Inch Widescreen Portable DVD Player
Outstanding DVD player, almost 4 hours battery life !!!
I debated getting the similar Polariod 7\\" player, before finally settling on this Philips model...glad I got this one. <br /> <br />It feels very sturdy, the case is made of metal rather than plastic.  The picture is beautiful, easy to view from all angles, and the built-in speakers work fine (however, I use headphones for use in the car/plane rather than jacking up the volume...it includes TWO built-in headphone jacks...very nice).  There is a surround sound option which is quite effective. <br /> <br />The battery life absolutely blows me away, especially considering the smallish size; the package stated 2.5 hours, but it lasted almost 4 continous hours on our first use!  I don't know how to explain this; maybe it's a first time use anomally...we'll see.  Regardless, I would buy this unit again in a heart beat...Great value! <br /> <br />BTW, if you want spare batteries (Philips OEM, rather than 3rd party batteries) you need to call Philips via their Customer Service number on their website (I searched the web high & low, nobody sells these Philips OEM batteries).  I just purchased 2 more batteries from Philips for a total of $45 (including tax & shipping)...what a steal.
