Toshiba SD-P1850 Portable DVD Player with 8-Inch Widescreen LCD
Great picture, many features, & solidly built
I'm really impressed by the combination of quality of design and construction of this player. I'm no expert, but have been looking for a few weeks rather intensively, and this is by far my favorite among the $150 - $200 players. The screen is bright and sharp--a much more watchable picture than some 10\\" screens I looked at. Two headphone jacks and the ability to play DVD-r's were essential to me, and this unit delivers without a hitch. It's got plenty of volume (I prefer to listen through headphones), and all the necessary controls are on the unit itself as well as on the small but not cramped remote. It also plays divX discs well.<br /><br />I had been looking at some of the units around $100 and after handling this one, couldn't justify putting any money toward those universally cheaply constructed units.<br /><br />It is more compact than many of the 7\\" units I looked at, which I like. It didn't seem overly warm underneath when playing a full-length movie (an important consideration when holding it on your lap!). But I bought it for the clarity of the screen and the solid feel. A great value, and an all around winner!
