DVD-LS90 Portable by Panasonic

My first experience with a Panasonic portable DVD player was with the LS-50, which I rented at an airport. I loved it, ended up buying a used one thru eBay. Should have bought it new and with a warranty! Got 1 year out of it, then the HO:3 message. Thinking to buy the LS-50 again, it is now more costly than the LS-90 which replaced it, so I went with the LS-90 after reading customer reviews. So far I have been very happy with it. I do find I constantly compare it to the LS-50 - which I liked better. Why? Smaller screen, more controls on the unit itself (thus less need to use the remote). The LS-90 has a larger screen, which is fine but needs more care in opening, and there are many controls that are only accessible by using the remote, which I'm not big on. BUT, the remote works great, the unit works great, sound could be louder but it's not supposed to be the only home entertainment unit. The player I bought came with a great travel bag and awesome headphones, so overall I've been very pleased with the purchase. Great price, but I am investing in an extended warranty. This unit probably deserves 5 stars, but I gave it 4 because I do think the LS-50 is a better unit.

Product should be recalled.

I really enjoyed this product as long as it worked. It has the longest battery life of up to 6 hours. The folding display is a very nice feature on airplanes. The picture quality was better than similarly priced products.

Overpriced

I bought this item because of the long battery life. Shame on me for assuming that by buying the most expensive portable I would be getting all the bells and whistles. Even $100 el-cheapo players include video inputs...not the LS90. I was looking forward to using it to review home videos and pictures while on vacation. The sound, picture and battery life are all first rate but the LS91 has all this AND AV inputs. For $100 less than the LS90 it's a no-brainer. The only difference I can find is the LS91 doesn't include a remote. If you can't live without it--buy a universal remote at Walmart for $15.
