Philips DCP851 portable DVD player w/ iPod dock
Editors' rating
Good
6.3
out of 10
- The good: Portable DVD player includes built-in iPod dock with video playback; 8.5-inch screen; DivX, MPEG4, JPEG, MP3 playback compatibility; SD flash card reader; good remote control; easy-to-use interface for digital media.
- The bad: Short 2.5-hour battery life; tablet-style design leaves screen unprotected; washed-out screen; buttons aren't very responsive; battery is not user replaceable; iPod video playback is very dark.
- The bottom line: The long list of features on the Philips DCP851--including the ability to play DVDs, digital media files, and iPod videos--is overshadowed by its mediocre picture quality and short battery life.
