Panasonic DVD-LS90 9-Inch Portable DVD Player
Expensive but worth it ...
I picked up the DVD-LS90 so I could watch DVDs because of jury duty.  I ended up watching numerous episodes of Family Guy and part of Thomas Crown Affair on the LCD panel. <br /> <br />Fast forwarding and reversing is a little tricky because the buttons on the unit itself doubles as chapter skip.  You have to hold down the button to fast forward or reverse and then use the play button to stop (this is a bit annoying).  Each single push is read as chapter skipping, even while fast forwarding or reversing. <br /> <br />I don't believe this particular unit is progressive scan.  Amazon's website say progressive scan but Panasonic's website indicates no (and I tend to believe the Panasonic website since there's no indication on the box exterior or manual about the unit having progressive scan capability). <br /> <br />The ability to move the LCD panel and pivot (it doesn't simply open like a clamshell) gives it a big edge when using the food tray on a plane since the panel can swivel so it's on top of the unit (vs behind it like the typical clamshell).  This allows the unit to rest more securely on the tray (vs sticking out partway like typical clamshell displays). <br /> <br />For some reason, I was expecting a sharper display since it's supposed to handle 500 lines of horizontal resolution (but perhaps I'm trying to compare a notebook LCD that does 1600x1280 on a 15\\" diagonal against a 9\\" wide-screen that only claims 500 lines).  I can't offer a comparison with other portable DVD player displays (I didn't compare before picking it up -- it wasn't available to demo at any store in town -- too new).
