FEATURES

According to the manufacturer, this portable player plays DVDs, CDs, CD-R/RWs,...

Pros: Sleek, long battery life, lightweight, large screen, crisp display, affordable, user-friendly, versatile

The Bottom Line: Given how minor its flaws are this is an affordable, sound investment for a high quality, large screen portable DVD player.

Review: I received this DVD player for Christmas of 05. I've had many occasions to use it since.

What was most impressive to me was the size of the screen. It is large but unintrusive. The unit is compact enough to sit on your lap in a car or...

Pros: Nice Picture, Decent Price, Nifty Screen Adjustments

Cons: Supplied Cables

The Bottom Line: After using on a few trips, if the unit holds up, I think I made the right choice.

Review: We finally caved in and decided to let the kids chip in for one of these portable DVDs for use in the car during longer trips. Once we got things situated I was pleasantly surpised by the experience it provided.

The Bottom Line: Tilt-screen is excellent for home or car use and high picture-quality make this portable DVD player an affordable winner.

Review: The Magnavox MPD850 sports a huge 8" TFT LCD screen that eliminates the need to 'squint' when watching movies. I am comfortably watching a movie on my unit approximately 6 feet away right now--with excellent picture and sound quality.

Pros: Large screen. Swivel screen.

Cons: Single screen use only.

Review: Picture is fine. Sound is fine. Screen size is large enough. Has front panel buttons to do many functions. Tilt screen is helpful in less than perfect viewing conditions. Removable battery is a little odd in shape and placement but does not present...

Pros: Image qualify rocks! Good battery life and flexible screen placement.

Cons: Remote control seems retard

Review: I got this magnavox MPD850 (why do they put it under the name of Philips?) from bestbuy at veterans day. I was suprised how good the image quality was comparing to other brandnames such as sony FX810 and Toshiba 1850/sd-kp. The flexibility of screen...

Pros: Durable, easy to use, reliable.

Cons: None. Really. None.

Review: My kids are 5 years apart and have somewhat different tastes in movies, so I decided many years ago that instead of allowing TVs in their rooms, portable DVD players were the way to go (yes, they are spoiled). We have worn out 4 over the years, but...

Pros: Well made. Screen size. Picture and sound clarity. Adjustable screen. Price.

Cons: Can't charge battery pack while watching a movie.

Review: Reading the other reviews on this unit pretty much confirms my feelings. The picture quality and screen size are great especially in this price range,but what also sold me is the adjustable screen. It makes the unit very easy to set up behind a...

Pros: Good picture, nice how the screen can vary

Cons: Battery breaks off easily - very poor design

Review: I am about to return my second MPD850. It has a great picture and I like how the screen moves but it has a MAJOR design flaw. The battery pack easily breaks off. The one I first bought was broken from the outset. I returned it. The replacement...

Pros: The size of the screen, the durability and the cost.

Cons: volume could be higher.

The Bottom Line: Buy this DVD player its that best on the market

Review: I bought this portable DVD player for entertainment on all of the driving and flying my wife and I do. This player is perfect for a car ride, I recommend getting the tape adapter that slides into your car s tape deck or an external speaker system...
