Cheap Sony DVP-FX930 9-Inch Portable DVD Player, Black

The picture quality is good. The touch-buttons are sleek, the rotating screen is a good feature. if you plan on mounting it to the rear of a car seat.

These are the issues I had with this product:
* the touch-buttons are sometimes annoyingly unresponsive and you may have to press a couple of times.
* the joy-stick is very painful to use. I had a one-week learning curve - even then I would not get it right everytime. Everytime I pressed the directional button, I would end up pressing the enter key and inadverently going into the menu. I do *not* have big hands or, literally speaking, fat fingers. If you do, believe me, you will not be able to use the buttons. Sometimes you will want to select a menu and keep pressing the directional button. I am really surprised that none of the reviewers mention this. This is not a minor gripe. It is a major usability issue.
* ok, there may be a workaround for this, but by default the picture size is very tiny (a widescreen movie will take up a quarter of the screen with bands on all sides.) You go to the LCD menu, select options and make it 'Full' to stretch it out. Now everytime you press any button (stop or pause or menu), the screen reverts to the original quarter size. I apologize if there is some menu tweak (its not there in the manual for sure), but if not, its an excruciatingly annoying thing and should make you think twice before buying this product. Now it is possible that all portable DVD players have this issue, in which case you may not have a choice. But if you can do without a portable DVD player (buy a cheaper laptop), then for this reason alone stay away from portable players that have this display limitation. I have no idea when a DVD would ever take up the entire full screen.
* a month and 5 days after I ordered this from Amazon, I got a light blue vertical band about 0.5 in from the right border. That pretty much sealed the deal for me and I returned it to Amazon with a 20% penalty.

I usually find Sony products very durable and of high quality. I guess there is always a first time.Get more detail about Sony DVP-FX930 9-Inch Portable DVD Player, Black.
