Portable DVD Players: Reviews

Reviews note that the Sony DVP-FX820 doesn't have as many high-end features as some rivals, but otherwise this portable DVD player leads the pack in its price range. In reviews, the Sony's picture quality is excellent and… flexible - its eight-inch swiveling screen can rotate and fold back on itself. The battery lasts nearly six hours in tests and the model comes with twin headphone jacks and a car charger. The Sony DVP-FX820 is the best balance of quality and price, landing somewhere between pricey 10-inch DVD players and cheap sub-$100 portable DVD players. The Sony comes with a one-year limited warranty.

The Toshiba SD-P91S doesn't offer the best battery life, but reviewers say its nine-inch swivel screen is larger than that of the top-rated Sony DVP-FX820. Dual headphone jacks enable two users to listen simultaneously,… and reviews say the Toshiba's screen is easy to adjust. Many users appreciate the fact that the SD-P91S can play a variety of DVD formats, and also supports DivX and MP3/WMA files. The SD-P91S comes with an AV input, DTS and Dolby outputs and a one-year warranty.

DVD players under about $130 generally receive poor reviews for quality and durability, but we found better reviews for the Coby TF-DVD7377 than we did for most cheap portable DVD players. Owners say it has good video and… audio quality, but it feels somewhat flimsy -- that it's generally fine considering the low price. The feature that users seem to appreciate most is this player's ability to play DivX files. The Coby has a seven-inch screen and comes with headphones and a car adapter. It comes with only a 90-day warranty, however.
