Amazon.com Product Description
The PDV-0700 portable DVD player from Polaroid Electronics lets you enjoy your movies, music, and digital photos when you're on the road or relaxing in the comfort of your own home. Its autosensing power adapter (AC 100 to 240V, 50/60 Hz) makes it perfect for international use, too--a great companion for business or pleasure. The book-thin, MP3-friendly player features a broad, 7-inch LCD configured in a widescreen (16:9) aspect ratio whose dimensions closely approximate those of your favorite contemporary movies. A supplied rechargeable lithium-ion battery keeps your discs spinning for three to four hours between charges, and the player also comes with separate AC and DC power adapters for use indoors, in cars and boats--you name it.

The PDV-0700 also offers built-in stereo speakers for headphones-free listening, picture zoom, and compatibility with DVD-Video, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3-encoded discs--not to mention digital photos stored as JPEG images on recordable CD (you can rotate and zoom on these, as well). Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's digital-audio output (through a .125-inch minijack-to-RCA coaxial cable, not supplied) for direct connection to a full-featured audio/video receiver.

Use the supplied AV interconnects to hook the player up with your television and/or stereo system. The supplied wireless, credit-card-sized remote control is just as useful within your home or without. Playback options include frame-by-frame slow motion, forward and reverse play, and multiple-angle viewing (with applicable discs). Headphones are not included, though you do get a handy splitter for listening with a friend.

Great monitor / Extremely poor customer service.......2003-05-01

This is monitor has one of the sharpest displays I have seen on a 17" monitor. Very sharp at 1600x1280 resolution and higher. The warranty sounds good too, free on-site replacment within 24 hours during the first year. DON'T BELIEVE IT. It has been 9 days and still waiting. Couldn't wait any longer so had to purchase a new monitor from a competitor. Last Philips product I will be purchasing.

An Excellent Value (at the time I bought it).......2002-08-20

This is a wonderful high performance monitor. However, as flat panel displays grow in popularity, prices for CRT monitors are dropping tremendously. If you don't mind buying a CRT and are looking for high resolution to run serious applications, I would recommend looking at some larger monitors than this. For most applications running at high resolutions, 17" just isn't a big enough screen to run on. On the other hand, if you are planning on running 3D games, have a high performance video card, and don't want to shell out too much cash, this monitor is a perfect fit for you. This monitor can keep pace with the best 3D cards out there. The only gripe I have with this monitor are two nearly invisible narrow horizontal gray stripes that run across the screen 1/4 and 3/4 the way up. They're really only visible when looking at an entirely white screen, so generally they are not an issue. Otherwise I am very pleased with this monitor. The picture is extremely crisp and clear, and also displays DVD's beautifully.

Affordable!.......2001-03-22

I am a student and was looking to upgrade from an old 14". This one is affordable and a name brand. Amazon had a great review of the product and gave a lot of good information. Better than what I would have got in the store. Once I got the monitor, I had a little problem hooking it up but I got great help from Philips customer service. I am amazed at what a difference it makes! If you still have a 14 or 15 inch monitor - go ahead and upgrade, it is well worth the money.
