Sony DVP FX810/L - DVD player - portable - display: 8 in

We bought the player for a long trip, and it worked very well. We have continued to use it both in the car and at home.

We bought this for a trip to Illinois this summer to keep the kids entertained in the back seat for a long car ride. We encountered -0- issues and 6 months later we still have no issues with it. We charged it up before we left and got through about 2 Spongebob DVDs before it needed to be plugged into the car charger...or about 3 hours worth of run time.

This will likely begin traveling with me on my cross country flights as 3 hours is generally more than enough time to get in a movie flying coast to coast.

The only strike against it was that it does not always read the DVD when inserted. A few power cycles and everything seemed to be fine.

Is it the best mini DVD player...no...is it functional...yes. The video is acceptable, and the audio is o.k...this is not a high end mini DVD player, but I don't think that's what Sony is after here. The included cables and remote also allow you to watch this on a TV while at the hotel...bonus if you regularly travel with kids and there's not a whole lot to do in the places you stop for a night.

We love our sony portable DVD. It is small and light weight and delivers a quality sound and picture. Would highly recommend.

I've always been the type to go to bed with a book. Now however, I have a choice: book or dvd! Due to life's committments, I'm unable to stay "current" with movies. Now, thru Netflix and this little dvd player, I can snuggle up in bed and watch those movies I've been wanting to see but didn't have the time. And with headphones attached I don't disturb my husband if he's reading or sleeping. While the speakers are ok, they are not strong enough to use if I'm trying to watch a movie while preparing supper. But, just having the verisitility or watching anywhere on a player that is the size of a hardcover book is pretty nice. The picture quality is very good, the buttons and menu very easy to use. I wouldn't change a thing!

I bought this DVD player for my 2 year old grandson to watch on a car trip I was planning to take with him. We never made the trip, but recently, after losing power during Hurricane Ike, it came in so handy keeping him occupied. He would sit in his high chair with the DVD player sitting on the tray, headphones on and he was enthralled. Oh, how I wish we had it when we flew to Colorado a few months ago!! The audio is not very loud, but our intention all along was for him to use it with his headphones, so that was not an issue for me. With the headphones on, the sound is great. It seems quite durable and the picture is very clear. I'm a big fan of Sony video products. I was also excited to find that it came with a car charger as well. When my 20 yr old daughter saw it the other day, she wanted one for herself. It was perfect for what I needed it for and the price was right as well.
