Title: Not quite ready for prime time
Review: I compared this unit side-by-side with my Compaq laptop DVD. The computer is better, period. Of course, both suffer from the limitations of the display, which cannot match the resolution of the TV set. And neither can match the performance of a home DVD player (when the L50 is used portably). Digital artifacts are apparent on both computer and L50. At $1,000, the Panasonic is an overpriced novelty. If money is no concern and you don't want to lug a laptop, buy it. But the screen is too small for true enjoyment and the colors are not very close to the original. If you get one, do a simultaneous display on your TV and see what you're missing.
