Philips PD700/37 7-Inch LCD Portable DVD Player, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Purchased this for our 2 year old to watch movies on the airplane while travaling.
Pros
-- Clear 7 inch screen even when viewed at an angle. I sat 2 seats over from my son and could still watch the movie just fine.
-- Very clear and crisp audio at higher volumes and volume control is precise enough for equally good quality at lower levels. We were able to listen just fine on the plane without disturbing the people in fornt or behind us
-- Ease of use. There aren't too many options to fiddle with. The movies load very quickly and can be from stop to DVD menu in a few seconds.
-- Not too bulky. Closed, it's about the size of a moderately sized hard-cover novel.
-- Price. Can't beat this for under a hundred bucks.(8 inch screens are more expensive. Not sure if the extra inch is worth the price difference
Cons
-- Battery life. Lasted about 2 hours. This is fine for short trips, but when trying to keep a 2-year old occupied for long distances it might be an issue.
One thing I should add is the color might be an issue for some. The white is a cool offest to the black and gives it an apple-esque look. However, if kids are handling it you may want to think twice. I can picture the pretty white not being too pretty after a few run ins with a little one. Maybe stick to the black for kids and the white for adults....that is unless you dont really mind this thing being dirtied up.
Overall I would give this a 5 star rating but the battery life brings it down to a 4. If I can run my laptop for almost 4 hours on a battery, this thing should be able to do more that that.
