After a portable DVD player not overly fussed on features or make but would ideally like about a 9 inch screen, thats easy enough to find one between £50 and £700!

Really though I want one with a removable battery so i can have a spare and get about 8 hours playback?

Anyone got one, got any tips or suggestions?

Thanks

No didnt see it?
I want it to use on planes though so if it has to be fitted in a car, and the car has to go in my hand luggage, and then onto the plane, might be awkward?

The £700 was sweet and played Blu-Ray but not Geordie_Ray.

Not going in the car so dont want two screens. Just for the plane so battery life most important and a decent sized screen.

Probably best to find the cheapest one possible but make sure it does "upscaling"

That way it will be better than the £700 one anyway as that plays the dvds as intended rather than making them artificially better.

Sony Portable DVD player in Blabk, comes with a USB Port so you can Watch films you have downloaded.

6 hour battery life, which is probably about the best you'll get these days

£210

Obv no help to you for that but you could get one for your car,if you drive.You can see sat nav directions on the screen or out else you might fancy,whilst the person in the front seat can watch a film ON THE SAME SCREEN,UN-BE-LIEVABLE
