Toshiba SD-P2900

 

Toshiba's SD-P2900 is the company's flagship portable DVD player. With a 10.2in screen, 800x480 resolution and a jam packed feature list, it's quite a...

Good quality video playback, respectable included headphones, DivX support

Inbuilt speakers are disappointing, high price tag

Although the inbuilt speakers aren't the best, the SD-P2900 otherwise comprises quite a high quality and functional portable DVD player. If the price tag doesn't deter you, it's well worth considering.

Toshiba SD-P2900

 

The Toshiba SD-P2900 is a portable DVD player with a wealth of features, but for the price you can also afford a laptop with an onboard DVD recorder.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Very disappointed

 

For the purpose intended this is a useless box for me. I went to the discount store & purchased another device instead which does work nicely. I also noticed while I was there they had this box for $25 less than I paid Newegg. I sure wish I'd purchased...

The concept of this product is good. Nice picture, portable and all that.... Don't even mind the power switch issue others have described. Picture quality initially was not so great, but after awhile with some "tweaking" it shaped up nicely.

Sound system? What sound system? What's the point in offering a top line machine with a tin-can sound system? Yup, you could add external speakers, but technology should suggest it's possible to get decent sound from the top-end device in it's class.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Design is good, but there are other factors.

 

What separates this from a 5/5+. A quality product and the service to back it up. Two in row with problems is pretty rare, but the service I received from Toshiba was so below par that it will be a long time before I buy another one again.

Overall design is well except the on/off switch. Other controls very convient when using. Remote control is a good size also.

Unfortunatelly, there is another side to this.

TOSHIBA SD-P2900 10.2" Widescreen Portable DVD Player

 

I love this THING! I mostly use it while traveling on an airplane and it works great to pass the time. If you are going to spend good money on a portable DVD player make sure you don't skimp on the headphones. Get a good set of noise canceling...

The Display is Amazing and crystal clear. The Dual headphone jack works well when watching with a companion. long lasting battery life. watched 2 movies on one charge, and was going for a 3rd before we had to shut her down for landing...

The ON/OFF button is one the outside and is easy to slide to the ON position while loading in a carry on bag. I turned it on by accident sometime during the day and when

The worst experience ever

 

This unit was great when we first got it.  It lasted less than 40 hours before it completely stopped working.  It was never used in a car, never touched by a child, never dropped, hit, abused in any way what so-ever.  When I contacted Toshiba, they...

Heavy, discontinued battery and stops working in a very short time

Toshiba SD-P2900 Portable DVD Player with Screen

 

I purchased the SD-2900NS (no clue as to what "NS" stands for..."no satisfaction", maybe...)at Best Buy for 279.00 (they were willing to match Circuit City's price...). The high resolution was appealing, higher than of any portable DVD player I had ...

Great defence against a mugger who wants to take your player.

Rotten picture. Poor design. Price too high.

Very nice but with flaws

 

First off, I've tried many of the newest portable DVD players before settling on this one. The picture on this unit is fantastic. The colors are rich and the resolution is about as good as it gets in a portable DVD player. It also has useful ...

Great picture, decent sound, large screen, elegant look.

Noisy, poorly laid out remote, flaws in reading DVD's.
