LG DP570MH 7-Inch Portable DVD and Mobile DTV (Black)
I bought this primarily because it is the only available device with a screen that receives the new Mobile DTV standard. After reading the reviews I was not sure what to expect. In the Orlando area, we can receive an ABC, CBS, and NBC affiliate. Reception is good, even when moving. There are some issues receiving our NBC affiliate because it is still broadcasting in VHF. It does not receive the standard DTV, but this is not a problem as you are most likely going to use this player in a moving car. As for playing DVDs, it works fine as a portable DVD player. The battery life is excellent--I had it on for about 4 hours in both TV and DVD mode. It has surprisingly good speakers, which instead of being in the screen are on the front of the base. They sound clear even at fairly high volume. There are a few bonuses, such as the ability to play music files and view pictures from a USB stick, and the player has video out. The only major complaint I have is the quality of the screen. It is very low resolution, so the pixels are large and very visible. I would have expected more from a name brand device, but as it is I once had a generic store-brand portable DVD player with a higher resolution, better quality screen.
Overall, I would recommend purchasing it if you mainly want to use it to receive Mobile DTV, especially if you want to use it on car trips.
