Sony DVP-FX930 9-Inch Portable DVD Player Black

Great on the go Portable DVD/CD/JPEG/MPEG Player

I had been looking at the previous Sony model that had over 300 reviews and CNET had it as their choice in the portable DVD products in the 7"-10" screen sizes.



I am very please with the latest Sony model what has changed is they made the screen an inch larger and placed touch buttons on the newer model. This FX 930 looks more modern sleek although it is a little larger.



I am very pleased as I have played various DVD's using full and normal settings that you can select for wide or standard screen formats. I have played many CD's from the actual artists to my own made CD's at home and played music files from my PC and taken along photos like a photo album when I want to share or have those close to me with me so to speak when traveling.



Sound is fine for the little speakers but 99% of the time I use really good headphones and you get two jacks so you can share when sitting with someone on a plane train or in the car as long as you are not driving. Had to toss that in! ;)



It is not too heavy compared to many certainly much less than a laptop and still small enough screen size to know you are not luggin around a laptop. Battery life is standard I have it run out yet but have not been on pure battery for 6 hours yet either. I try to have it plugged in most of the time during use and for the car you get a car charger included in the box.



Being it is smaller it makes it more mobile for your travels whether local or abroad.



I have been using this item non-stop almost without any issues. Could it be improved yes almost any product can be and as with any electronics they seem to improve with almost each iteration.



With this said you can save $30-$40 by buying the previous model. It is an inch smaller but the screen resolution is the same and many of the features are almost identical.



Take it for a test drive and remember you've got 30 days to test it and if it is not what you like or expect return it and try another but choices on these products are quite limited since many use their PSP iPhone or iPods to watch movies/videos etc.More detail ...
