Portable DVD's

[kinghenrik]

Im looked for info on them.

(1) are they worth it? used often?
(2) where can i buy good portable dvd's online? website adresses etc. Looking to spend up to £300.

any feedback would be great

£300 won't get you a portable dvd player up to the job. Unless you like squinting at pixellated jagged edged approximations of what's on the dvd. :)

Disagree with the above view. The Cyberhome is £270 in Smith's and Novatech and is highly rated in magazine reviews. There has been a thread on it here in the past. It can be multi-regioned as well - again there has been a thread on this previously here.

Can't speak from personal experience but on the basis of other's I was planning to get one after Xmas when the prices should drop a bit I guess. Useful for keeping kids entertained in back of car plus when away on holiday or work.

Sampo DVE-P1 (http://www.area450.com/thesampozone/players/dvep1.htm) has just been released but will set you back £360.

I'm currently evaluating one and have to say it's fantastic - 7 inch 16:9 TFT screen, handles DVD, VCD, SVCD, CD-R, CD-RW, .mp3, .jpg, .mpg, .mpeg, .vob
