Large display highlights screen weakness

Cons
Picture resolution is fair at best.
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
Although the screen is large enough to watch movies from a distance, it's really meant for close viewing. Unfortunately, the screen resolution isn't much better than a normal television.
I purchased this toy mainly for long plane trips. With a 9 inch screen and the ability to play many different video formats, I thought this unit would be the best choice. Upon playing my first DVD, my immediate reaction was that the picture quality was not very good. The resolution is poor. "Grainy" is how my roommates described the picture quality. It looks like viewing a photograph through a screen. The color aspects of the screen are very good though. Very vibrant color and brightness!
The internal speakers are virtually useless; however, plug a good pair of bud type headphones and you can hear everything! The sound is extremely crisp and professional. I'm looking for an excellent pair of surround headphones (ideally with an equalizer attached to control bass).
I haven't traveled with the unit yet so I'm not aware of the battery life. Then again, I'm purchasing a Panasonic adapter to plug into an airline seat so I'm not (too) worried about the battery.
Overall I like the unit but wish the picture quality was as exceptional as the sound.
