Portable DVD player with a swivel screen

Monday September 13, 2004
Toshiba is getting ready to put out a portable DVD player to market which will have a swivel screen. The SD-P2700, slated for release in October for $499.99, has a 8.9" widescreen LCD display which is supposed to "increase viewing angles allowing for a better viewing experience." What this essentially means is you will be able to rotate the screen to help cut down on glare and get the most desirable angle possible.

Tech wise, the SD-P2700 has most of the bells and whistles we've come to expect out of high end portable DVD players: progressive scan support, component and s-video connectors and high end stereo sound. Other note worthy features include an expansion card slot and built in JPEG viewer to see photos, three hour play time and included DC adapter car cord.
