I tried other 10 inch models and the battery died after 3 hrs 20 min. The picture is great and the battery life is amazing for a 10 inch screen. I had this DVD player for 1 year now and it performs better then the previous 10 inch model I had. If you can get it for under $200 its well worth it for the great picture and battery life. I tested it a few times and the battery lasted 5 hours and 15 min. The downside is the player is a little heavy due to the increased battery life but I think its worth the trade off. I do not even use the remote control and I have no issues with navigating around. It's a very good plug and play electronic appliance.
We didn't want to feel we were watching on such a tiny screen, and this one has a nice big screen. We think this is a terrific portable DVD player. The only issue we had is that the case Amazon recommended (a Targus case) DID NOT fit the DVD player, so we had to send it back. It does make a bit of noise when the DVD is spinning up, but that doesn't seem to affect its functionality at all. The picture is great, and the extra size is what we wanted. I assumed (not a good idea, I know) that if it was recommended together, they would work together, but I checked and the DVD player is a 10.2 inch (and it's a bit bigger with the battery pack attached) and the case is a 10-inch. Duh.
The battery pack would not charge. I discovered that 3 1/2 months after the purchase (first time I triedto use it with a battery after the purchase).The warranty is only 3 months. Should havechecked that before buying.
Three of our grand children went with us. The player was easy to set up. My wife and I took a trip to Disney World. The size of the player screen was perfect for viewing. The operational features was easy to control while the vehicle was in motion.
This is certainly NOT Toshiba's best work. Several times the screen went to "blocks" then when it resumed with the clear picture it was like watching an old Japanese over-dub movie were the voice doesn't match the lip movements. More times than I can count I have had to shut the machine down and re-start it because it won't read the disk. Bottom line: it doesn't operate up to current industry standards, you can get better than this machine.
