I wanna portable dvd player-any ideas?

never_enough

Hi, hope someone can help. I'm looking for a portable dvd player for someone in their 60's who is a bit scared of anything techy, so it needs to be fairly user friendly. The bigger the screen the better, but I'd prefer not to spend much more than £100 if possible. I'd like to be able to show her my photos on sd cards, but can always transfer them onto a disc if that facility will cost more.
Thanks for any help.

I brought one of these for my BF last month. It's rather basic (no USB port/card reader) but the screen's a nice sized 10". You can also make it multi-region as well (if you do a search for codes.)

If you want one with a card reader/usb port then that will hike up the price.

I've read that Shinco's meant to be a good brand (the hidden name behind nearly all the big brands like Toshiba, Walmart, Bestbuy, Audiovox, Hyundai, RCA, Thomson and Sharp)...

Shinco SDP-1850 8" Portable DVD/DivX player with USB/Card reader = £163.99
