Portable DVD players seem to be in vogue, and the WT-510 is a competent entrant at its price point.

Portable DVD players are really in vogue, or so it would seem if you consider how many new models are being released. Only recently I reviewed the Zeon, and now we have the WorldTech WT-510.

The pressing need for a portable DVD player beats me though, unless you’re rich enough to buy one for the heck of it, and have a real need to watch your DVD collection while traveling. After all, for your movie needs there are PMPs, unless you are into buying/renting DVDs while on the move.

In any case, none of the portable DVD players are light enough to conveniently carry around.

The WT-510 weighs around 970g, which is a tad heavy, but still lighter than most of the competition. It’s quite compact too, but only by virtue of comparison with competing brands. At 197 x 166 x 40 mm, it just manages to stay short of being cumbersome.

The player comes with a cool swivel screen, and the 7-inch TFT screen (16:9) is big enough to serve your personal viewing needs. It’s essentially meant to be kept on a flat surface close to you, or on your lap while you are slouched on your bed.

As with a laptop, the base of the player gets hot halfway through a movie, especially when it’s charging. So unless you are vacationing in the chilly mountains, where the player will serve to warm you up, I suggest you use a pillow to prop it up.
