17.8 cm (7") TFT colour LCD display in 16:9 widescreen format

The colour LCD display brings images to life, showing off your treasured photos, favourite movies and music with the same 'real life' rich detail and vibrant colours as high quality prints. The 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio is standard for universal to high-definition digital television. A native 16:9 aspect ratio means video display without bars at the top and bottom of the picture and without the quality loss than comes from scaling, altering an image to fit on a different screen size.

Built-in stereo speakers

The best portable DVDs around.

What can I say, these are superb. We've used others, where changing disks mid journey requires a car stop due to casing/case. Issues where two children can't agree on what to watch. None of these exist on the 7042. They are independant players, ideal for boy and girl. Changing discs, is a dream, while still attached to the seat- meaning no car stops. The mounts on seats are clever ad provide easy disconnection if leaving the car on a journey. My only grip is the battery life when not plugged in. It's a little short, and if your sat nav uses the same cigarette charger, don't get caught short with either. Is that an issue with the car only having one slot?

Easy to use, value for money.

easy to use and quick to set up and take out of car - having two master screens and headphones allows different films, audio discs and less in car friction!

Koop geen B-merk

[Employee of philipsglobal] Voor zomervakantie 2014 hadden we ons laten verleiden een keer geen Philips te kopen, maar een B-merk met goed internetbeoordeling… maar spijt spijt spijt! Gelukkig konden we dit 1/2 defecte set nog inleveren en met teruggekregen geld een Philips set kopen, welke meer dan prima bevalt!
