The Toshiba SDP93S portable DVD player earns raves for its picture quality. Reviewers say the 9-inch display provides some of the best picture performance on the market, and the player also gets high marks for its sleek design. The Toshiba SDP93S has a screen resolution of 800 pixels by 480 pixels, and the display swivels to achieve good viewing angles in different lighting conditions. DivX video compatibility, two headphone jacks and a five-hour battery life are also pluses. Overall reviews are highly positive, although some users say the speakers have only average sound quality and aren't quite loud enough for noisy environments. Reviewers report no problems with sound quality when using headphones. If price matters more to you than features, the Coby TF-DVD7377 is a basic, 7-inch portable DVD player that gets decent user reviews and lots of feedback. It may not be the most durable choice, but owners are impressed with it overall.

We found the best review of the Toshiba SDP93S at CNET. This recent review is detailed and balanced, and the Toshiba portable DVD player is briefly compared to other players on the market.
