First, shop around. There are a lot of good deals out there on this item. I've read the other reviews, and I can't really agree with all of them. Perhaps it's because my unit was manufactured in July of 2002, but I have no problems with the sound. Let me clarify. Sure, from the built in speakers it sounds about like a clock radio (with surround). However, when I hooked it up to a pair of $ Philips ear bud earphones, it was pretty incredible. I could not turn the sound on "The Matrix" up past 3 without hurting my ears. The simulated surround is amazing. Granted, I haven't tried it on an airplane, but I think the secret may be to get "in the ear" style earphones. The battery life also seems quite adequate. I didn't turn the brightness down and still had plenty of life. The picture is great from any viewing angle. No blackout glare as with cheaper models. Finally, the unit feels very solid. I already owned a Polaroid unit and this is leaps and bounds ahead of that in manufacturing soundness. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
