Sorry, I missed that you *did* want inputs...I don't know how...

My problem with the portable 9" Sony DVDP (not BDP) was that a 9" 16:9 format screen is a lot smaller, in use, than I thought. I actually originally thought a 7" screen would do me. By buying these things at Best Buy and bringing them home and trying them I found out that a 15"+ screen is what I needed... This is because some of my apps use 4:3 displays and the text looked really small unless the 9" display was practically in my face...it was a size issue, not a clarity/resolution issue. These aren't designed to be used like an e-book and text legibility is not a design priority, watching pictures is totally different than trying to read.

That POV R/C plane thing sounds neat. I have a large powered glider that has room for stuff like that. I wish I could say I was coordinated enough that another "distraction" wouldn't hurt me...but it *is* a glider so that helps.

Update: ended up getting the Sony DVP-FX970... - mpathus 19:04:01 07/05/11 (0)
... 9" portable player. 9" is small but I'm near sighted and the picture resolution is bordering superb, so some details are apparent that I missed on a Sharp 25" LCD.
The DVP-FX970 does have a/v in and outs accessed through one jack. Sony's picture adjustability is the best I've encountered, and worth the extra coin. On sale through 7/9 in store @ Best Buy.
After the third one, all is well. The first one had a crisp picture but the "dynamic surround" wasn't there. The second had superb sound but the picture was "soft" and "sluggish/choppy", even after the usual picture adjustments for improvement.
It's great when Sony gets it right.
