I frequently have to do long train journeys so wanted a portable DVD player to keep me entertained. The main selling point for me on this player is that it has 3 hours battery life - the majority of other (cheaper) players only have 2-2.5 which is not always long enough to watch a whole film! The quality of the picture and the sound is also excellent, and I love that the screen can be tilted and fully rotated 180 degrees, great for when watching on a train and there is glare coming off the window, I find that I can twist the screen so I can see clearly.
The DVD player also comes with a really nice carry case, remote control and power adapter. Considering this player is multi-region and has a USB and memory card slot, it's great value for money, and does a lot more than a lot of the more expensive makes.
There are only two small things that I think can be improved to make the player better:
- There isn't a volume control on the unit, you have to use the remote control. This isn't a massive problem, although means you have to remember to take remote with you (I keep mine in the handy carry case)
- There is no warning to let you know that the battery is running low. My previous player would flash up a battery symbol in the corner of the screen to give you warning to plug it in. Again, this is not a massive problem as the player remembers where you are on the dvd so that once you have plugged it in you can continue watching
Overall I am very pleased with this little player and would definately recommend it.
