The 8 inch LCD screen is large enough to comfortably view movies while it rests on your lap. It is also large enough to allow 2 people to view the screen at the same time. It even has 2 headphone jacks or you can use the built-in speakers.

Changing tracks or fast forwarding is easier with the DVP-FX820. It has dual remote sensors; one located on the screen and the other on the body. This means that you won’t have to aim your remote control to perform various functions.

Summary of Reviews

Expert reviewers were impressed by the Sony DVP-FX820. The large 8 inch LCD screen was bright and very easy to see, even in bright light. It comes with a remote control and even a car charger for the longer trips. The 6 hour battery does in fact last 6 hours. The unit was a little heavy at 2.7 pounds and if it came with a USB port or memory card slot this unit would be even better.

Users were drawn to the DVP-FX820 for its screen size and 800 x 480 resolution. The images on the screen were bright and clear. Some even remarked that it looked better than their 50 inch high definition TV. The choice of different colors makes this unit even more attractive and gives it some style.

Summary

When it comes to your portable DVD player don’t mess around. The Sony DVP-FX820 has the screen size you’re looking for and comes in a variety of colors to match your personality. While it costs a bit more than the average player, the picture quality is worth the extra coin.
