Philips offers Decent DVD Player for Under $100

Pros Bright Screen, 4 hour battery life, 2 headphone jacks
Cons Speaker volume doesn't get loud enough
Recommended it? Yes

A few years ago, in order to make life easier in the car on family trips, we bought an inexpensive Mintec portable DVD player from Costco. It lasted up until 2 months ago…much longer than the lifespan I expected based on consumer reviews.

Thanksgiving was a great time to be looking... Read full review »

Pros NONE!
Cons It is a piece of junk.
Recommended it? No

I bought this for the car for my daughter to watch movies...I spend more time cursing at the darn thing than it actually working! It constantly stops for no reason & skips a lot too. I would like to put my fist through it! Not to mention is has been scratching every DVD I put in there. I hate this... Read full review »

Very good player - great battery life

Pros Picture, battery life, price.
Cons Speaker volume
Recommended it? Yes

After going through a couple of cheapo DVD players (which seem to die just outside of the warranty), I found a review for this one in Wired Mag (print version; can't find a link to it online) and decided to try it. This was for some extended family trips, including a 5-hour plane ride and some 6+... Read full review »

Great Image Quality - But...

Recommended it? No

The Philips 7" screen has the sharpest image detail I've seen in the line of portable DVDs. However, there are no adjustments for picture brightness or color -- so you're stuck with the factory screen settings. Also, to access the Setup and Menu categories/features, you must use the remote control,... Read full review »

Premium quality for a very low price! works well

bykenhonda May 28, 2006
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros sexy design/quality/long 4 hour battery life/divx/wma/mp3 support.
Cons loud whirl noise at start
Recommended it? Yes

The pictures online I've found never do this player justice. It's very sleek and well designed, with a thick ipod white cover and matte black interior that helps to make the screen stand out while viewing. the overall fit and finish is very nice and there are plenty of controls on the unit, there...

Pros Durable, easy to use, nice picture
Cons strange sound when loading apparently normal
Recommended it? Yes

We bought our first Philips pet724 at the end of 2006 for our daughter to use in the car. We have not had any problems with it at all. Our girls use it at night to watch movies together while we watch our own movie. It has been dropped, spilt on and stepped on, yet it keeps on working. We are... Read full review »

Cons External battery may be awkward to some, annoying "whhrl" sound as discs load
Recommended it? Yes

I AM an audiophile, but I must admit, the idea of a brand name portable dvd player for under $150 is what attracted me initially. Consider yourself lucky to read this review, because I went out on impulse when I got my first player.
I needed something that could player "everything" (video &... Read full review »

Pros Nice looking player
Cons Freezes, player gets hot quickly, and won't play some discs even if new.
Recommended it? No

Purchased the PET724 for a spring break road trip to Tucson for MLB spring training week. Had problems right out of the box with the picture freezing up, as well as the unit getting extremely hot. Tried it at destination, and found it wouldn't play some discs.

I really liked the look of... Read full review »

I bought the Philips PET724 Portable DVD player on June 1st 2006. I purchased this for my entire family, but mainly for my two sons to use while we're on the road, as I travel VERY often and they sometimes come with me some of the time.

So far, my wife, my kids and I absolutely LOVE it... Read full review »

Pros Good picture, plays VCD, sharp looking case.
Cons Makes a lot of noise when loading disc, small TV format size.
Recommended it? Yes

The only experience I've had with portable DVD players are a couple of low end models. I was looking for something with just a few more features and I'm happy with the Philips PET724, so far. I love the case styling and the ability to play all my VCD's. The Pro's: Good picture quality, the ability... Read full review »
