NextBase small form factor DVD player review at Tweaknews

December 2, 2003

Thanks to Digit-Life for spottting this review over at Tweaknews of the MDV1 small form factor DVD by NextBase. They found it to have many of the same features found in full sized players, it is well built, yet light and 75% smaller.

Partial List
of Features:

Unit size in mm (L x W x H): 165 x 138 x 30mm
Compatible with DVD/DVD-R/CD/HD-CD/SVCD/VCD/CD-R/CD-RW/MP3, etc.
Kodak picture CD/ JPEG file viewer
Built-in Dolby Digital (AC-3) and DTS dual decoder
Multi-language OSD (On Screen Display)
LCD panel and seven keys on board for convenient operation
Optical Dolby Digital (AC-3)/ DTS/ LPCM digital audio output

From the review: "Not only was the player physically robust, but its feature list would go toe to toe with any normal DVD player on the market. As stated earlier, the visual and audio quality were flawless and you would never tell the difference when compared to the bigger alternative. Now, add in the flexibility of such a small package and you could be easily packing it into your suitcase along with a couple of your favorite movies and you could be watching a DVD in your hotel room while on vacation or during a business trip."

The NextBase DVD costs around $ 120 dollars. It comes with a 12 volt adapter as it will not play off batteries. You can read the full review here.
