Panasonic DVD-L50 Portable DVD Player
BUY IT!
Well, after reading quite a few of the one hundred or so reviews on this page, I've come to a few conclusions. Number one: If you have the money... BUY THIS UNIT! Number two, the three major problems (Low battery life,  Overheating, and bad sound) are actually only one problem; Battery life is  solved by the many adapters that are now out there, and bad sound is easily  solved by a pair of headphones. Now, as to the overheating... ever walk  into an electronics store? I have. Ever see one of these things on display?  Do you think they stop it every two hours or so and let it cool down? NO! I  walked up to one as a movie was ending on the screen, and felt the bottom  and yes, it was a little warm, but this was hardly the scalding hot surface  that some people complain of. Before you buy one of these, try to see one  up close, I promise you that you'll fall in love instantly. The crystal  sharp screen, the sleak small remote, the easy to work controls. This  player is worth every cent it sells for, and its pros outweigh the cons ten  fold. DVD players on laptops are nowhere near this quality, and the other  units out there (though they have larger screens) are no way close to the  quality of this unit (the Sharp and Pioneer are even more expensive!   ACK! ) bottom line: Buy IT!   But be warned... if you expect a magical  machine with big screen TV display and Dolby surround sound (with it's 1/5  inch deep speakers) YOU WILL BE DISSAPOINTED, DUH!  That's it, I've  convinced myself... I'm gonna buy one :-)
