When space is at a premium for viewing your DVDs, look to the Audiovox FPE1078 for a small, affordable combo unit.

The Audiovox FPE1078 is a compact TV/DVD player with a 7-7/10-inch LCD screen that contains a memory card slot for SD/MMC cards, making it possible to view digital photos on the lively LCD screen. The silver monitor is a slim 3 inches deep and can be mounted onto a wall or used with the supplied black pedestal stand, which swivels and tilts for optimal viewing. A black frame surrounds the wide-format screen, and stereo speakers are located on either side.

The DVD slot is built into the side of the monitor where it is easy to reach, while control buttons are placed along the top edge. The DVD player can also accommodate CD, CD-R/RW, VCD, DVD-R/RW, MP3, and picture CD, making it quite useful. The FPE1078 comes with an AC/DC adapter and a 12-volt car adapter, so you can take it on the road.

The picture looks very sharp and lively, with bright colors. The internal stereo speakers are rated at 3 watts of audio output per channel, which is a reasonable level for a small unit like this. A single audio/video input/output is located on the side panel, along with an RF input, the memory card slot, the power jack, and a headphone jack. The remote control is very compact, with 40 buttons packed into a relatively small area, but it has everything needed to manage the DVD and TV.

The Audiovox FPE1078 does a great job displaying movies and pictures, and this little 7-7/10-inch-screen unit comes at a reasonable price.
