Savvy business travelers know that battery life is precious, so why waste your laptop's battery on a movie when you can whip out a portable DVD player? Some of these eye-catching little units also provide great backseat entertainment for the kids on long road trips. We're starting to see some competition in the high-res screen market with two players that offer 800x480 resolutions.

Toshiba SDP93S

The good: Large 9-inch screen with 800x480-pixel resolution; SD card slot; MP3, WMA; DivX playback; decent speaker performance.

The bad: No USB port; included remote is a tad large.

The bottom line: A high-res 9-inch screen, solid battery life, SD card slot and DivX playback make this portable DVD player easy to recommend.

Sony DVP-FX930

The good: High-res 9-inch screen with 800x480 resolution; full 180-degree swivel screen; includes remote control, AV cable, and car charger; reliable six-hour battery.

The bad: Somewhat hefty 2.7-pound weight; no USB port or flash card reader; no support for DivX or other digital video files.

The bottom line: The combination of a stunning high-resolution 9-inch screen, long battery life and impressive design makes the Sony DVP-FX930 a winning portable DVD player.

Panasonic DVD-LS83

The good: Portable DVD player with 8.5-inch collapsible screen; excellent digital file support includes DivX, MPEG4, MP3, WMA, JPEG compatibility; includes AV connectivity wires and car charger.

The bad: Screen hides buttons when folded to tablet position; unintuitive control layout; no remote control; average picture quality; no USB port or flash card reader.

The bottom line: The Panasonic DVD-LS83 is a solid-performing portable DVD player, though you may be able to find a similar player for less.
