Sharp DV-L78U Portable DVD Player
Really fine DVD player
I received this player 2 days ago - and have used it a BUNCH since it arrived.  It is fantastic!  Picture quality is superb, the 7&quot; diagonal screen makes a big difference compared to the 5&quot; or 5.8&quot; screens.  Sound is good (for two small speakers) - fine quality for close-up viewing.<br />The portability is really fine.  I watched &quot;Lethal Weapon&quot; this morning while making and then eating breakfast.  Didn't miss a frame of the movie;  of course you trade off the effect of a hugh movie screen, but being able to take it with you as you move around the house (or in a car or plane) more than makes up for a small screen.  And actually, because it's so close to your eyes, the size picture you see is probably larger than you would on your entertainment center.<br />The player itself is about the size of a DVD case, and the separate battery pack is the same size.  So all the storage space two units require is for 2 DVD cases.<br />My only complaints are placement of the buttons and the size of the remote.  The buttons on the unit are pretty close, and several times I've had it on &quot;pause&quot;, and intended to hit the &quot;play&quot; button, but accidentally pressed the &quot;stop&quot; button.  Good news is that when you start play again (after all the start-up logos, etc.), the movie continues just a little prior to where it left off - unless you've disconnected the power or opened the unit.  The remote is rather bulky, what you'd expect for a regularly sized DVD player.  A credit card sized one would be nice.<br />But you (or a loved one) won't be disappointed with this player.
