Superb monitor as well as a DVD player
By Ok2bclever (Michigan, USA) Reviews of Sony DVP FX 820
I use this portable player as a larger monitor than the cam’s swing out LCD both framing, focusing and for shooting angles where the flip out is less than practical.
The screen will twist and flip so it is lying flat against the player which makes it easier to mount on a bracket for tripod use.
The speakers are about as tinny as all the other portables, but that is why they have a headphone jack on these portables and speaking of that this one has two built in headphone jacks.
All the controls are handily on the bottom of the screen section so are accessible even when you have the unit folded against the player portion and it also comes with a remote control.
The resolution of this portable’s monitor is hands above any other I have owned, used or seen.
The battery lasts a pleasantly nice amount of time as well.
It has played DVD-R, -RW, +R and +RW, DL, CD, CD-RW, MP3 and digital photos for me in both 4:3 and 16:9 dimensions.
Not sure what else you could ask out of a portable unit, fully recommend this player/monitor.
