Philips PET1000 10.2" Portable DVD Player

Tired of the eyestrain that comes from peering at those miniature screens on the budget-priced portable DVD players? Of course you are. If it is one thing I can say about the various technological gadgets they certainly aren't easy on the iris. The Philips PET1000 10.2" Portable DVD Player offers some relief with its 10.2" screen. 'Like the rest of the portable DVD player market, premium players such as the Philips PET1000 have come down in price, but they're still fairly pricey compared to entry-level portables, which now go for less than $150. What will spending about twice as much on the PET1000 buy you? Well, three things: a sleeker-looking player, a large 10.2-inch screen, and a significantly better picture. This player also happens to read MPEG-4/DivX video files--a big plus for people who have big DivX movie collections.'
