Portable DVD Players

July 31, 2008 | Permalink

Ostensibly, the next airline cutback is plane-provided movie watching.  In fact, US Airways has announced that it will be removing the movie system from their domestic planes.  However, there is an upside:  Now you have an excuse to buy a portable DVD player so that you can watch movies on the plane.  Here are some of the top DVD player choices:

  • Topping a recent CNET review list, the Sony DVP-FX820 has superior resolution and a long battery life.
  • To avoid adding extra weight onto your carry-on luggage, consider—at just 1.3 pounds—the Sharp DV-L70U.
  • For a quality portable DVD player that won’t break the bank, try the Polaroid DPA-07046P. Available at Overstock for under $100 (note: price may change).

Alternately, if it plays movies, your laptop can double as your in-flight entertainment.  Regardless of how you choose to spend your in-air hours, keep in mind that the airline may no longer be providing any options for entertainment.
