Philips PET 744

You'd think that portable DVD players were something of a dying breed, but the sheer convenience of being able to watch DVDs wherever you like keeps this segment of the market alive. Especially if you've got kids. The Philips PET744 is a clamshell...

Swivel screen mount, car kit included, 6 hours battery life, anti-glare screen

Build quality not brilliant, limited file support

Whilst we aren't entirely sold on the build quality, we like the practicality of the swivel screen design and the considerate steps taken by Philips to make the PET744 user friendly

Overall, the Philips PET744 is a very likeable portable DVD player, with a great screen and good build quality. A major problem arose at the end of our test period, however, when the screen completely stopped working. In the absence of evidence to the...

Attractive styling ; Decent price ; Good picture quality ; Two headphone jacks ; Included in-car charger and mounting kit

Fairly average sound quality from the tiny built-in speakers ; Headphone output is quite flat

On the plus side, we've never seen a portable DVD player at this price with a screen as good as this. We were genuinely impressed by this little device and we'd be more than happy to make use of it on train journeys or long flights

Award: Recommended!

Some say that portable DVD decks are a dying breed, but if they're as good the Philips PET744 they'll be around for years.

Some say that portable DVD decks are on their last legs due to the prevalence of hard-disk portable media players, but if companies like Philips keep making disc spinners as good as this they'll be around for years to come.

Philips har ikke spart på kruttet med denne modellen, og den lever opp til uttalelsen om deres beste DVD-spiller noensinne.

Høyoppløst skjerm ; Solid feste ; Bra batteri

Ingen USB ; Mangler AV-inngang

Legger man på noen hundrelapper i forhold til de billige modellene, får man en bedre kvalitetsfølelse, men fremfor alt en overlegen bildekvalitet og bra lyd.

Great

Arrived in good time used it on our no frills flight to Egypt, this was another good buy.

Great player, shame about the mounting kit

The player itself is great, the screen is clear, colourful and high-res. The internal speakers are not brilliant, but are adequate for use in the car if you can't be bothered with headphones. What does let this product down is the car mounting kit....

Great picture but other weak points

Weak points; Piano black finish - circular scratches appear as when turning screen it is not engineered as to not make contact between screen and main body when rotating. Mounting kit screws are not long enough for a Skoda headrest - bought a packet of...

Stopped working after 6 months

I was very happy with this player. However, the joy did not last long and after 6 months the player stopped recognising DVDs. I suspect the "Smart Car Mount" did not secure the player well enough to stop it from bouncing and wobbling around(even on a...

Superb all round value.

This is a superb player. Picture is clear - works with all formats stated. Solid build quality & looks great. Contrary to previous report I found mounting as easy as pie - fits to my car's headrest very securely. Mounting is important as velcro straps...

Ik was op zoek naar een PET731 echter na 7 (grote) zaken bezocht te hebben kwam ik deze tegen.

lecteur facile d'utilisation(mon fils de 6 ans y arrive), lit vraiment tous les supports. La batterie de 6h est pratique pour les longs trajets. Le son est pas mal, l'image trés nette et de belle qualité. La taille de l'écran est suffisante. Le+: la...
