General comments: Having had a 7 inch portable dvd player previous to purchasing A
Technosonic DVP 1010 I was really looking forward to taking this on the regular 2hrs 40 flight I make to the Algarve.

It did not let me down, the Screen size made a big difference (viewed by my wife also in the next seat). I use Shure sound isolating headphones which were great on this player (available separately for about £35 a set but worth the purchase).

The remote enabled me to change the display etc so that I could see watched time and remaining video time which on a flight is very important as they cabin crew stop you using the DVD player during take of and landing, but I got 2hrs 10 of playing time on this flight, and the battery still had another 50 mins or so power left.

In the hotel I watched the player both on my lap using the speakers inbuilt, and also outputted to the Hotel TV (although I did need to take an extension to alow me to connect the red, white and yellow female connectors from the AV lead to a male red, white and yellow lead with a scart plug on the end, this is not included but can be picked up from maplins / cpc stores for about £5.

I liked the ability to charge the battery separately without having it connected to the DVD player. What I did was pick up a similar voltage power charger and connected that to the battery, leaving me with the provided charger to plug directly into the DVD player when I wanted to both watch a DVD but still be charging the battery for portable use.

To summarise go buy this player... but for your enjoyment I recommend getting the following extras

1) A connecting lead for the A/V output so that you could output to a TV.

2) Pick up a universal charger (under £10) so that you can charge the battery at the same time as watching a DVD

3) Invest in a set of Shure headphones if you are going to be using in a noisy environment (plane, train etc) as it drowns out crying babies, chatty passengers and enhances the experience of watching a DVD.

What I like about the Technosonic DVP 1010:
Good price, £150 from ToysRUs, please don't tell me I paid too much!
Big screen, suppose to be 10" wide screen, haven't - checked but it's big.
Plays dvd -r/rw,+r/rw, music CDs, mpegs, jpegs, VCDs, SVCDs, CD-r/rw - everything I have.
Battery lasts for at least 2 hours on continuous use - had to stop watching after that but the battery was still going strong.
Sound is loud enough for a car.
Comes with car poweradapter and bag with car mounti ...
