Audiovox DVD1680 7-Inch Portable DVD Player

I originally selected this Magnavox unit since it represented one of the most affordable DVD players I could find with a 7\\" screen.  The picture is sharp.  And the player is very reliable (playing nearly all of the DVD's I've put into it).<br />I've since discovered, however, that this remarkable little unit -- with all of its included extras -- has enabled me to enjoy movie watching in places I didn't anticipate.  Here's where:<br />1)  At Home -- But of course.  The batteries last about two-and-a-half hours (long enough for most movies).  And the picture is every bit as sharp as if I viewed the movie on my TV.  But with the player on my lap -- and headphones (which are not included) over my ears -- I've found that I can watch movies without disturbing others.  In case the action gets too loud (or sexy), I needn't worry about shocking the kids. I can now view a more maturely rated title at a reasonable hour -- without having to wait until my kids go to bed.  (Cool!)<br />2)  In the Car -- This is nice!  With the included car charger, I can now watch movies even if the unit's batteries are low.  I've enjoyed DVD's on numerous occasions while waiting for my kids at their sports or music practices (which makes the time go quite a bit quicker).<br />3)  In a Plane -- No surprises here.  The Magnavox is significantly smaller and lighter than my laptop PC (which also has a DVD player); and the picture -- even though the screen is much smaller -- is significantly sharper (and smoother flowing)!  (I also use a set of Sennheiser HDC 451 noise-suppression headphones.)  Watching a DVD movie on a plane can be very satisfying -- especially when compared to the (edited) in-flight movie!<br />4)  On the Road -- On the Hotel's TV.  The Magnavox, surprisingly, came with TV cables and a wireless remote control.  Once I arrive at my destination, I hook up my Magnavox -- and I'm in business!  DVD movies, as you know, are easy to carry.  And the viewing experience (on the hotel's television) is much more satisfying (and less expensive) than paying for the in-room movie rental.  (Hallelujah!)<br />Overall, I'm very pleased with my Magnavox portable DVD player.  My wife actually bought this player for me for my birthday.  It is easily one of the nicest (and most versatile) presents I've ever received!  I love it!
