Note: Toshiba SD-P2600 8.9″ Portable DVD Player (Silver) is no longer being manufactured. You may want to consider purchasing the newer Toshiba SD-P2700 8.9″ Portable DVD Player instead. Rely on it when you’re on the road and savor its performance at home: Toshiba’s SD-P2600 DVD-Video/DVD-Audio portable DVD player is distinguished by its sleek appearance, 8.9-inch polysilicon widescreen display, and high-resolution 1,024 x 600-pixel image.

Besides media playback versatility–it handles everything from DVD-Video to DVD-R, VCD, MP3/WMA CD, and a host of image formats–the SD-P2600 offers Toshiba’s ColorStream PRO progressive-scan component-video outputs (for use with high-definition and HD-ready TVs) and employs an 10-bit, 54 MHz video digital-to-analog converter to cement its guarantee of stellar image quality. A sleek, credit-card-sized remote control simplifies operation. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The SD-P2600 also performs 3:2 pulldown detection (Digital Cinema Progressive). DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown reversal digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. Further, a Toshiba feature called Direct Digital Solution sends a DVD’s video information to the LCD driver directly from the unit’s MPEG decoder in its original digital form, bypassing unnecessary digital-to-analog conversion steps to deliver the best picture quality possible. Toshiba’s digital photo viewer displays images right on your television in a variety of popul (more…)

Cool toy but limited
After reading all the positive reviews, I decided to buy this model instead of the 2700 (although there appears to be very little difference between the two).

Poor quality player for price!
Ok….I read all reviews about the 2600 before I bought it and was really looking forward to purchasing a high quality machine. Boy was I disappointed.

Polysilicon TFT is much better than amorphous TFT

Awesome DVD Player but I have a question

Worth the money.
I just want to say that after researching portable DVD players for about 3 months and ALMOST buying a lesser priced machine (Panasonic LS-50), I am so glad that I didn’t.
