Sony DVPFX950 9-Inch Portable DVD Player, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a well-designed player which has loads of good points. Best of all is the picture quality, which is nearly perfectly smooth. The other 5 players I compared it to in the store were grainy. With headphones plugged in and the brightness on minimum, the playing time is 7 + 1/2 hours, as Sony advertises. Without phones and with the brightness on max, playing time is 5 + 1/4 hours. Charging time is 6 hours, though the first time only took 2 hours, which is normal for batteries. It has lots of volume, and with a good set of headphones the sound quality is quite nice. The screen swivels 180 degrees and then folds flat against the base. The field of view is 180 degrees. You can connect it to your TV. It plays picture CDs, music CDs, and mp3 and jpeg files. If you stop it while playing and turn the power off, when you turn it back on it resumes playing where you stopped it. You can plug it into a wall outlet or a cigarette lighter outlet and use it without the battery in. You can adjust the brightness, hue, contrast and color while it is playing.

There are just a few minor problems with it, like no mute button on the remote or on the player. Fullscreen movies have one-inch-wide black bars on both sides of the screen. You can get rid of the bars by using the Options menu, but then everyone looks fatter. I don't like how the FF and RW buttons work. I like to push the FF button and have it FF until I tell it to stop. With this player, one push of the FF button moves you forward 30 seconds, two pushes goes 60 seconds, to a max of 4 pushes for two minutes. RW is even worse- 4 pushes only takes you back 40 seconds.

This is one of those rare items that you can buy without even checking out the competition and know that you are getting the best that is available.
