Sony DVP FX820 Portable DVD Player is a popular gift in 2008!
Written by Author on December 28th, 2009The price is right and this DVP FX820 Portable DVD Player is easy to use and set-up. The buttons are easily reached and understood. The image is large and clear and the sound can be turned up pretty loud. all-in-all, this is a great DVD player. The only thing I would like better is if they sold this as a dual screen set so they can be mounted on the back of the headrest (when traveling in the car). Kept the kids entertained during a 5 hour trip, making for a more enjoyable ride!
The DVP FX820 has a High Definition Screen that truly gives your regular DVD’s the look of a Blu-Ray or HD DVD… I have them both in my cars and I safely say it’s very close to that quality…maybe not exactly… but until they come out with portable units for Blu-Ray…this is going to be the closest I think you can get!
The Sony DVP FX820 Portable DVD Player has 800 x 480 resolution where as most of the players out there have a 320 X 240 screen… that’s a very big difference and it really shows. The battery life is excellent (I do listen with headphones so that helps) but I have watched about 4 hours with it already and still have 1/3 of a full charge left…so that’s right at about the 6 hours they say you will get. The last thing I need to comment on is the remote control… I never used to think that was very important on a portable unit… but after not having one on the Polaroid I owned… I love having this one with a remote that will provide every feature the player will do… all the way to the ON/OFF… It has very nice on screen displays of all the functions… volume level… battery level… everything. Also it doesn’t get hot at all…I know my Panasonic got pretty hot on the bottom…not this one… and it’s also very quiet… makes very minimal noise.
