Amazon.com Product Description
Panasonic's DVD-LV50 is a full-featured DVD-CD player compatible with DVD-RAM and DVD-R discs as well as with MP3 CDs. The player offers a built-in widescreen LCD monitor that uses approximately 337,000 pixels for clear DVD images on the go. The 5-inch screen lets you watch movies in the standard 16:9 widescreen format or conventional 4:3 formats such as letterbox and pan-and-scan. The screen's Freestyle design makes it easy to adjust it to many angles to suit a range of viewing positions.
Use normal, full, or zoom mode to adjust the picture size displayed on the LV50's screen to best represent the picture format (standard 4:3, 16:9 widescreen or letterbox) of the software being viewed. Hi-Speed Smooth Scan scans as high as 200x, so a two-hour movie scans forward or backward in merely 40 seconds--and favorite scenes are found in a jiffy.
The LV50's included rechargeable battery fits neatly in the main unit, so the thin, stylish body remains intact when using the battery. The battery holds out for about 2.5 hours of viewing time (with the brightness set to its lowest level) before it has to be recharged. An optical digital-audio output passes DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound for hookup with a surround-decoding audio-video receiver, providing six discrete channels of exhilarating digital audio that deliver the ultimate sound experience. Advanced Surround (V.S.S) simulates surround sound using only the front two speakers, so you can enjoy Dolby Digital 5.1-channel discs without an elaborate home theater system.

Wow.......2004-07-28
Good enough.......2003-07-11
Pint-Sized Player Packs Powerful Picture.......2003-04-22
At first I was struck by a few negatives about the DVD-LV50. Contrary to what some stores say, it only has a single monaural speaker, which seems cheap and ill-advised in a unit retailing for six big ones and packing state-of-the-art audio processing.
I also think Panasonic should have included the larger rechargeable battery pack that runs for 3½ hours rather than the pack included that runs for two hours. Most folks will probably want to pop for a spare battery, and at only twenty dollars more than the two-hour pack, the bigger battery is probably the better choice.
But it's easy to overlook these quibbles when you see the picture on the DVD-LV50.
This is flat out the best image I think I've ever seen on a screen of ANY size. (In fairness, I don't believe I've seen HDTV, or if I have I didn't notice it.) Sharp, bright, with pure vivid colors and deep blacks, the picture quality is so good it's right off the chart. The picture really is almost three-dimensional, and the fact that it is appearing on a pint-sized player like this is rather astonishing.
Other owners who said you won't notice the diminutive size aren't kidding. The picture is that enticing. Plug in a pair of earbud headphones, and the DVD-LV50 makes a great companion when you're dining alone. Though I haven't yet traveled with the player, I'm sure it would save the day on a train or airplane as well, if you have enough battery power or access to an AC outlet.
One of the other significant pluses of the DVD-LV50 is its "free-floating" screen. Rather than being hinged to the back of the player as on most portables, the screen here rides on an articulated arm that hinges to the player. This gives you more flexibility adjusting the height and angle of the screen to optimize the picture.
Otherwise the player seems to work like gangbusters, tracking every problem disc I can throw at it with nary a glitch or hiccup. One little detail that's very slick is the way the screen fades to black when you turn the power off - nice! Slow motion is also very smooth - guys know how important this feature is!
In conclusion, the DVD-LV50 is quite a technological achievement, if a mite pricey. The day the price comes down ..., however, these players will simply fly off the shelves.
