 Superb monitor as well as a DVD player July 17, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I use this portable player as a larger monitor than the cam's swing out LCD both framing, focusing and for shooting angles where the flip out is less than practical.
The screen will twist and flip so it is lying flat against the player which makes it easier to mount on a bracket for tripod use.
The speakers are about as tinny as all the other portables, but that is why they have a headphone jack on these portables and speaking of that this one has two built in headphone jacks.
All the controls are handily on the bottom of the screen section so are accessible even when you have the unit folded against the player portion and it also comes with a remote control.
The resolution of this portable's monitor is hands above any other I have owned, used or seen.
The battery lasts a pleasantly nice amount of time as well.
It has played DVD-R, -RW, +R and +RW, DL, CD, CD-RW, MP3 and digital photos for me in both 4:3 and 16:9 dimensions.
Not sure what else you could ask out of a portable unit, fully recommend this player/monitor.
Excellent Product July 11, 2008

I first purchased a Panasonic portable dvd player pretty much on impulse at the store because the price was good. When I got home I read the reviews (I know, that's kind of a backwards way to do it, but then it was an impulse buy) and they weren't so good. After doing more research, it seemed this Sony unit came out the best so I returned the Panasonic and bought the Sony.
I am very happy with my purchase. What I like about this product is the build quality, the picture quality, and the swivel feature. Many portable players lack the swivel feature. This is a very convenient thing to have. And as far as picture quality and build quality, Sony is a reliable company for those two things. It is very well made, the accessories are also first rate, and the instruction manual is a real manual that is understandable and grammatically correct. Two thumbs up on this purchase! This Sony was more expensive that most of the other players but it is worth the extra cost. If you figure your cost per period of time you use it and the enjoyment factor, this one is actually the better deal.

First portable DVD player I have ever owned but it would be hard to beat. Very nice display, great sound.
Battery life was 5 hours+ .
I wish there was some illumination of the controls. Very difficult to see what's what on a dark train until you learn where everything is. Power button is also hard to find and easy to accidentally press.
Individual volume controls for the headphones would be great so I suggest keeping all your headphones to the same model. I highly recommend a carrying case like the Targus.

Blown Away by High Definition May 28, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
According to the Wikipedia write-up on portable DVD players (PDPs), the standard definition PDPs is 480x234. This makes the FX820's 800x480 resolution "high-def" by PDP standard. Indeed, that's 3.4 times as much resolution and you can definitely tell the difference on every DVD you play.
I bought the player (the red one) after reading all the helpful reviews here. (Thanks, guys!) The FX820 feels a bit heavy to me, but otherwise is the "perfect" PDP! The screen is gorgeous, the two headphone jacks are convenient, and the controls are easy to use. The battery life has not disappointed at all; I set the brightness at half and get at least 5 hours out of each charge. I simply cannot be happier.
If you're patient you can find this player at new for $160 or even $150, but even at the list price of $179, I think it's a great buy. I used to own a cheap PDP but it was a pain to use and poor quality. I'm so glad I upgraded to this Sony player. My family will have lots of on-the-go fun for years to come.
