Only just in time for the great summer getaway comes Philips’ latest portable DVD player. The PET744 sports a 7in, 800×480-pixel resolution LCD screen with 16.7million colours which swivels through 180 degrees allowing it to be used as either a clamshell or tablet device.
It comes with a parent-friendly remote control, in-car mount and two headphone inputs as well as its own built-in stereo speakers and battery life is claimed to be six hours which should see you through at least three films in a single sitting.
As well as DVDs it will also play CDs and films or music via SD/SDHC memory card or USB. It can handle DivX, MPEG 4, DVD, DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW, SVCD, Video CD and Picture CD formats for video and CD, CD-RW, MP3-CD, CD-R and WMA for audio.
