Cons: No car adapter included.

The Bottom Line: Definitely recommend because of overall quality and value.

Review: Because of consistent quality and reliability, I have many things "Panasonic" in my home and I'm happy to report the DVD LS5 is definitely another winner from Panasonic. Why I Chose the LS5: I'm an independent computer graphic artist, extremely ...

Pros: Very sharp screen and very watchable even at 5 inches, good sound, excellent quality

Cons: A bit pricey (but worth every penny for the dedicated road warrior)

The Bottom Line: The screen is a bit smallish but it's very watchable. If you plan to watch a lot of DVDs on the road, get this lightweight DVD player.

Review: Compared to the Chinese imports (Apex, Initial, Cyberhome, etc.), the Panasonic DVD-LS5 is definitely a premium model, and both the price and quality show. If you just want to watch DVDs on the road and don't mind teeny sound or blocky images, the low-end ...

Pros: Everything.

Cons: Nothing.

The Bottom Line: It's a great product. It's filled with so many features that most DVD players have. Plus, it's a Panasonic. They've been known to make great products. It's a great investment.

Review: The Panasonic DVD-LS5 is a great product. I've had mine for about a week now and it's great. It has a 5" LCD widescreen with excellent resolution. Very crisp lines and vivrant colors. The LCD can also tilt in various angles, making it very easy to view. ...

Pros: Size great for travel; easy to use; bright colors; index card-size screen was fine.

Cons: $399 is quite expensive just for the luxury of entertaining myself on a long flight.

The Bottom Line: Great for travel; may need pretty good eyesight for small screen.

Review: I bought this for a long plane trip. The size is so nice and convenient that the player easily fit in my purse. (5.5 in x 6.5 in x 1 inch, roughly) The feature film on the flight was "From Justin to Kelly" featuring the kids from American Idol. I would ...

Pros: Actually portable (not a pseudo Laptop!), rugged, SUPERIOR image & sound quality, PANASONIC!

Cons: Not for the far-sighted (Never been happier to be nearsighted! HAHA)

The Bottom Line: GET ONE. Why? If you want a portable DVD player, few are better to own and use. And no I don't work for Panasonic! {:-)

Review: I'm going to sound like I WORK for Panasonic or something when you read this. I'm a perfectionist, and I don't like paying more than I need to. So I did my research and homework. After many trips to Circuit City and Best Buy among other stores, and ...

Pros: A superior portable DVD player. Small, clear, user-friendly.

Cons: Mono sound, no car adaptor, no s-video cord, expensive battery.

Review: I bought this great portable dvd player from Circuit City for $220 after rebate (May/04). It is a far superior player to the "generic" brands. Had a Polaroid before but returned it. The picture is very clear and allows different sizes. The zoom's ...

Pros: Plays DVD+RW discs, compact size, nice picture

Cons: No car adapter included, No S-Video cable included

Review: Contrary to what you made read elsewhere (in other reviews, on the box, or on Panasonic's web site), THE DVD-LS5 will play DVD+RW discs. (Before purchasing this model, I bought an RCA DRV-612N which is supposed to play DVD+RW discs but in reality only ...

Cons: Sound--use headphones or hook up some external speakers.

Pros: Better picture and sound than expected, plus user-friendly features.

Cons: It's only a 5-inch screen, so it's probably not ideal for your SUV.

The Bottom Line: This is a solid portable DVD player that delivers where it counts, with exceptional images and sound (for its class) as well as more than two hours of battery life.

Review: A recent wave of business trips finally motivated me to invest in a portable DVD player. I did plenty of research and dragged my wife around to several electronics stores before I finally settled on the Panasonic DVD-LS5. I have not seen a portable ...

Pros: Good picture quality

Cons: Bad battery life 1.5 hours just one dvd

Review: Extremly good playback quality does all formats the only minus side is poor battery life. I only leaving this as I was looking for an in car ...
