The compact, go-anywhere Samsung DVD-L300A portable DVD player features a stunning 10-inch screen and superior picture quality. This unit stands at just over 1 inch thick with the screen folded, and with the screen open and a movie loaded, users can't help but admire the widescreen display. Progressive scan playback delivers excellent image quality, with clear, smooth pictures and accurate colors. This is also a rugged, durable portable player; once loaded, a disc remains locked in place in just about any position, so there is no annoying skipping or pausing at every road bump or stretch of airplane turbulence.

The DVD-L300A has a screen inversion function that flips the image over 180 degrees so the unit can be mounted upside down from the roof of a car. The player also comes equipped with a credit card-style remote control. Although there are 29 buttons included in its compact design, it seems puzzling that Samsung omitted a volume control on the remote. However, it can adjust the brightness levels and the LCD screen's backlight to improve contrast if sunlight shines directly onto the screen.

For a portable player with such a large screen, the DVD-L300A still offers solid battery performance. On a single charge, the battery pack will provide enough power for about 3.5 hours of continuous viewing. This is plenty for all but the longest feature-length movies. The DVD-L300A has twin headphone jacks so two people can enjoy watching a movie while sitting side-by-side. There are also A/V inputs for the connection of a game console or even a camcorder, as well as a coaxial digital audio output for surround sound passthrough.
