| Gobrunks Member 32 Posts 6/07 |  Posted - Jul 7 2007 : 4:29PMI know I am (80 hex 480???) If YOU want companies to step up & start making HIGH RES. (192 hex 1200 sound nice) portable DVD players, I strongly suggest you cut/paste the link below & tell TOSHIBA how you want a high resolution portable HD-DVD player (with a slot-load drive instead of those flimsy disk doors) http://www.tacp.toshiba.com/customersupport/contact.asp THANK YOU!!!!

| Gobrunks Member 32 Posts 6/07 | Posted - Jul 7 2007 : 7:19PM It's totally possible for small screens to be able to dispaly stunning images. For whatever reasons companies just don't bother to step iamge quality up. ALL the current portable DVD player's on todays market have painfully bad resolution. The highest res. that a 10 inch PDP has is 80 hex 480. [Link] |

| Bill All-Star Member 5334 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Jul 7 2007 : 10:16PM Given that the source material that would be displayed on a portable DVD player is only 720 x 480, there is no sense in implementing a screen that does better than that. They just need to include in a good 720 x 480 screen, rather than the lower quality ones that are typically being used. In order to take advantage of a resolution greater than 720 x 480, they would have to include a top of the line upconversion chip in the player because at the close range that people will be watching a portable player, anything less than the best would end up looking crappy. The down side would be that including a top of the line upconversion chip would probably triple the price of the portable DVD player. [Link] |
| Gobrunks Member 32 Posts 6/07 | Posted - Jul 8 2007 : 3:29PM What ticks me off is that Sony has an 8-inch PDP that only has a LCD max res. of 40 hex 200. Yet LG has an 8 inch that has an lcd max res of 80 hex 400. So, you see it's all up to the companies. Hopefully they'll get the message that people like me are tired of staring at that fuzzy, un-defined image. [Link] |

| Bill All-Star Member 5334 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Jul 10 2007 : 9:52PM ...By combining it with a portable Blu-ray or HD DVD player. Everybody knows that we need 10" 1080p screens if we want to watch a movie in the car. [Link] |
| Gobrunks Member 32 Posts 6/07 | Posted - Jul 10 2007 : 10:54PM Another annoyance that I could do without is those annoying disk doors. Slot-load PDP's woul be much better. [Link] |

| Gobrunks Member 32 Posts 6/07 | Posted - Jul 12 2007 : 6:48PM But sadly, that's all that's out there right now in terms of portable players. Maybe I'm just TOO ahead of my time. 2010 here I come!!!! *locks self into cryo-hibernation chamber* [Link] |

| Gobrunks Member 32 Posts 6/07 | Posted - Jul 12 2007 : 9:44PM 2 BIG problems stand in the way of current laptops: 1. Most laptops have an average battery life of 1.5 hours or less. 2. Most laptops lack built-in, physical controls/buttons for navigating. (fast forward keys, Op. System Display button, etc.) [Link] |
