The good: Portable DVD player with 8.5-inch collapsible screen; excellent digital file support includes DivX, MPEG4, MP3, WMA, JPEG compatibility; long-life battery; includes AV connectivity wires and car charger.
The bad: Battery life, while quite long, is still shorter than advertised; screen hides buttons when folded to tablet position; unintuitive control layout; no remote control; average picture quality; no USB port or flash card reader.
The bottom line: The Panasonic DVD-LS86 delivers some of the longest battery life we've seen in a portable DVD player--though not quite as long as Panasonic claims.

Excellent value. Great for traveling
by TTTMartz on July 19, 2008
Pros: Long battery life, small size, good picture
Cons: Can't use volume buttons when folded to tablet

Summary: I enjoy this player. It's small enough to use on an airplane (even in coach) yet big enough to watch a movie in a motel room. Long battery life is great. Easy to use once you learn the controls. You have to read the manual or spend a lot of time fooling around, but that's not a major issue. I consider this a good value and reliable.

extremely poor picture quality
by chaya1263 on January 12, 2011
Pros: compact, easy to use, battery life
Cons: disappointed in the picture quality. Not enjoyable to watch videos that are so unclear. This one Con overshadows all the pros, since the main thing about a DVD player is watching the DVDs, and this player makes the DVDs have dots and jagged edges.
Summary: poor picture quality makes it not worth it to buy this player.

Oops, i didn't notice this was LS86, i reviewed LS82. Sorry for that mistake. If needed remove.
Look no further. Panasonic has created a phenominal portable dvd unit and has long been my favorite. I own this unit, in a matter of facts its right infront of me. The quality is simplly awesome. I'm watching Dan In Real Life on this thing right now as I'm typing and it looks better then (yeah im for real) my 42" sony hdtv. I am not kidding. The battery life is around 8 hours, but amazon says the battery life is up to 12 hours. Well i been owning the dvd for about 7 months, and never replaced the battery. The features are nice. 2 headphone jacks, audio and video output (or input? not sure never used), LCD size/brightness control feature, Top Menu, Menu,and AV Select. A nice, big navigational pad, containing up, down, left, and right big buttons plus a nice enter key in the middle. A big open BUTTON (not a slider!!) and speakers on the side are very good. Gives nice sound. Now the big part, a free style viewer screen! You can "pop-out" the screen so its like sticking out and make it flat so the dvd is as if the screen was built into the cd tray. Electronic skip protection (just a extra feature). And with the good comes the bad... The price. It costs (used - very good) $280 on amazon and the retail is $250. If panasonic would lower the price to maybe $150 then i would by like 50 of these. I recommend this for travalers, parents who have kids that want to watch movies in the car and people who want to work on the computer without having to look somewhere else for the TV. My unit is right of my screen and is good, but only problem the screen is a little too big to snugglly fit on my desk without me having to move stuff. The speakers are taking up most of the space, and there is a little blank space left of the speakers.
Rating:
Video Quality: 11/10 (BEST OF THE BEST!)
Speaker Quality: 8/10 (Lacks bass)
Features: 10/10
Playback Compatibility: 10/10 (No blueray, because this was released before blueray existed)
Overall: 9.5/10 (I need my bass!)

concerned about the warnings and no remote control.
by dwright56 on March 11, 2010
Pros: This product looked good, very streamlined.
Cons: flourescent light containing mercury, too many warnings. Seemed to be too fragile for everyday use by a child. Seemed to complicated for the person it was being bought for.
Summary: I have never seen a portable dvd player without a remote control. Also the list of warnings really bothered me. Flourescent light with mercury. Do not touch display. Possibility of ...
Summary: I have never seen a portable dvd player without a remote control. Also the list of warnings really bothered me. Flourescent light with mercury. Do not touch display. Possibility of exploding if it gets too hot. We charged the battery and noticed the warnings and just boxed it back up to return to the store. It looked nice but we couldn't get past the above issues.
