    not a lot of difference besides screen size. I suggest tigerdirect or newegg at first, then check local stores

    I had a panasonic a long time ago, and for my outdoor theater I use the TrueTech from Target (a cheapy)

    It works fine...

    I could never get the thing to go more than 1:30 -1:45 .....so could never get a full movie though.

    battery life is important to me as i'll be using it frequently when travelling long flights. well, i got a laptop but i lost my elite status with continental. they offer limited seats with power supply.

    i think my requirement s will be DivX capability and battery life. video quality is not much of a necesity since they'll be all close to better.

    I have a Magnavox I bought at Best Buy a few years ago. I've had no problems with it and battery life is pretty good. I've been able to watch an entire movie and a little more.

    Now I have a laptop and tend to use that instead.

    When I flew a lot with American, I usually could get a seat with power even in Cabbage class, just had to get to the airport early and work with the ticketing agent to make sure I got one.

    Also, I got to know the planes, and what rows had the power.....I went to Academy bought a 400watt power inverter and plugged it onto the DC power on the plane and I have unlimited power....which is GREAT for the 10+ hour flights....

    Now if I could only get AA to get Internet access, I would be golden.

    What can a portable DVD player do that a laptop of today can't do?

    Save you money.

    You can a good portable dvd player for under $100 if you shop around.
