| rnckr's Full Review: Polaroid PDV-0800 8 in. Portable DVD Player |
Like the other reviewer, I discovered that when a widescreen movie that took up the entire screen was played the top half an inch was bent to the left at about a 45 degree angle. I checked other 8" Polaroid players and the 7" version and they did the exact same thing. It happened on multiple DVD's and not on players manufactured by another company. I had to play with the different screen modes to duplicate the problem. It only happened in widescreen mode with a widescreen DVD playing. It is very distracting to watch a movie with this problem.
The pivoting screen is a neat feature and the sound is adequate.
