Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony DVPFX810 8-Inch Portable DVD Player, Black
Customer Review: I'd recomment it!
Summary: 5 Stars
The main reasons why I bought this DVD player is because: 1) I loved the way it looked (very sleek and stylish), 2) it was in my price range, 3) it said it had a 6 hour battery life, and 4) it has two headphone jacks.
Cons:
--The glossy screen makes for a lot of glares. to fix this problem, I hold up something dark in front of the screen!
--If you like to watch old movies on DVDs in wide screen, you're out of luck. It can only play those movies in full screen mode, which means you have a tiny screen (however, I don't know of any other DVD player that has fixed this problem)
--I think the screen is pixely, in other words, the pixels are quite large. It bothered me because it makes the picture less defined. However, an advantage to this is that your kids won't be tempted to keep their faces inches away from the screen and ruin their eyes. The farther away you hold the screen, the better the picture looks!
--The twist screen only twists in one direction. I sometimes forget which direction that is, and risk breaking the thing.
--the sleek remote isn't very sleek; it's about 1/3 the size of the player itself, and maybe 1/2 as thick. I found that quite amusing.
PROS!
--It's a beautifl design. The speakers and buttons are all on the screen which makes the tablet design wonderful.
--you really do get 6 hours of battery life. Of course, this is on the dimmest screen setting; but I've been able to watch at least 2 movies in good lighting on one charge.
--You don't need the remote to watch a movie. there are some settings that you can only make with the remote, but i've actually never needed to change those settings.
--the speakers are loud enough...for a quiet room. If you decide to watch a movie in a loud restaurant or (as I did once) in a car while it's being hailed on, you won't hear much. But overall, i'm happy with the noise they can put out.
--the package comes with everything you'll need! a battery, a remote, audio/video cables, a car charger and a regular charger.
--it saves your movie for you. if you turn it off in the middle of a movie, you can turn it on and resume it right where you left off!
--it automatically selects the right screen mode for the screen size (wide screen or full screen)...unless of course it's an old movie.
--there's an IR reciever on the screen as well as the front of the player. So whether you have it in tablet setup or regular dvd player setup, you can use the remote.
The dimesions for the player are:
9 in x 6 in x 1.75 in (with the batery on)
the remote is:
5.5 in x 2.5 in x 0.75 in.
Also good to know:
--the "open" button on the front of the player is not to open the screen (the screen has no latches or buttons holding it closed), it's to open the place where you put the DVD in.
--Charge the batter completely before you use it for the first time. I charged mine for about 5 hours the first time; but i think it was done after 3.
--I'm very picky about protecting this thing, so I chose the Targus hard-shell 10" case (model #TDC004US) and the icon dvd player neoprene sleeve (total cost ~$60). I put the player in the sleeve and then i put that inside the targus case, and pile all my cords and remote around it. I find this gives a lot of protection.
