This lightweight portable player has a handsome, silver case that opens like a laptop computer. Watching DVD movies on this portable player is a visual treat. When video is output to a TV, there are no pixilation problems. The LCD screen is very bright, and can be viewed comfortably even under the brightest sunlight conditions. The screen brightness can be adjusted for comfortable viewing under darker conditions.
Color is saturated and also adjustable.
This player features a full set of scan, search, and special effects. The image was equally astonishing as that from DVD, since the source is digital video. Finally, as another testament of quality, we did not notice any dead pixels on the LCD screen. The audio features were also astonishing. Sure, nothing really compares with a true surround sound system, but Panasonic's virtual surround sound is about as good as any simulated surround sound system we've heard to date.
