DVD Players - The High-Definition DVD Players
A digital versatile disc player is a device that plays discs produced in video and audio formats. Most of these players allow users to play audio and video compact discs (CDs) also. The player reads and obeys the DVD’s regional lockout codes and displays a warning if it is not authorised to play it. These players usually read a DVD disc in ISO - UDF version 1.2 format. Mostly these are of the same dimensions as a CD but can store up to 6 times as much data.
Some new players also play videos in MPEG-4 ASP video compression format. They are usually cheaper than VCRs. Presently; China is the largest producer of DVD players. There is also another variety of players that is called software DVD players. These players allow the users to view videos on a computer. Some examples of these include VLC Media Player, PowerDVD and WinDVD.
The LG’s DivX (PDP) has a 7 inch wide swivel LCD screen. The player supports a number of file formats like VCD, JPEG, DivX, CD-R and WMA. The player’s 100x High Speed Smooth Scan allows the users to view videos and movies with crystal clear resolutions. Its user-friendly on-screen Graphics User Interface makes it very simple to operate and use. The device comes packaged with a removable battery pack and an in-car charger. Other big players like Sony, Philips and Panasonic have also come up with a range of slim and lightweight players.
Most portable DVD players come equipped with a LCD monitor and stereo speakers. PDPs are best suited for use during long travels. Most common PDP screen size is 7 inches although there are some models that have screen size of up to 12 inches. Some models of PDPs are offering a high screen resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. Newest models of PDPs come with a swivel screen that can be rotated through 180 degrees. Some PDPs also have built-in iPod docks, USB & SD card slots and fold flat.

| Review by Johnny C. Lee (USA) 2010-07-25 This is a good player with a lot of the features of Blu-Ray, Netflix, and YouTube player at a cheap price. The YouTube user interface needs to be better; it only has a play and pause button. It does not have forward or backward search which is a big handicap....

| Review by HMMWV (santa clara, CA USA) 2010-07-24 Prior to this model, the viera system in 2009 series players could not generate a unique serial number. Netflix's reaction to this was to not send netflix on demand to these players since their 6 display limit could not be enforced as all pre 2010 units didn't have a unique ID which could be tracked. Be sure to get the most recent fir... Read more Panasonic DMP-BD85K WiFi reviews | ||

| Review by Josh (Minnesota USA) 2010-07-04 The remote feels nice, and the player does what it is supposed to do. Playback of AVCHD on memory cards is a nice touch for anyone with a camera that records in that format. For a budget product, this does seem to perform well, and I haven't had any major issues with playback of any supported media. Thumbs up.... Read more Panasonic DMP-BD45 Ultra-Fast reviews | ||

| Review by Allan Lindsay (Oak Creek, WI USA) 2010-07-08 Older model, worked fairly well, however DVD mode failed within 90 days. Has to be sent to Texas for repair or replacement. Viera Cast will not access Netflix or Hulu. No firmware upgrade planned to correct per Panasonic press releases. Player remote does not control Panasonic HD TV well and visa versa , requiring you to keep both remotes handy.... Read more Panasonic DMP-BD70V Blu-ray reviews | ||

| Review by Corey L. Oakes (TX) 2010-07-19 This unit has been obsoleted by model DMP-BD65 (ASIN: B0038KN114) which would be a better purchase because it is less expensive and has Netflix capablity. With consumer products, newer has almost always meant better, faster and cheaper and that is the case here. This unit's time has come and gone if you want the current Wi...

| Review by Rohan Menezes (India) 2010-07-20 I now own both the DMP B15 and the DMP B500. The B500 is definitely superior in terms of Sound and Picture Size. The extra functions such as the Photo Frame and Calendar are cool Add Ons. Definitely reccomend this product for anyone who prefers to watch Hi Dep Movies on the run. Brilliant product from Panasonic. | ||

| Review by T. Nelson (Virginia, USA.) 2010-04-06 The reason they listed the resolution as WSVGA is they didnt want to outright state exactly what it was. WSVGA is 1024x600, which happens to be the standard on many netbooks these days. This device does not need to exist. At that resolution you would do well to just watch DVD's. It is totally unsuitable for watching blu-rays. It cannot even play at... Read more Panasonic DMP-B100 8.9-Inch reviews | ||
