Portable DVD Players – Things To Know
In my humble opinion nothing makes a long trip easier
(especially if you have kids). A portable DVD player is the
ideal solution for those long plane rides or endless drives in a
car to keep everyone entertained, especially when you have new
hit DVD to play.
So what are some of things to keep in mind when selecting a
Portable DVD Player? (Here are some items to consider in no
particular order.)
Screen Size: Depending on where and when you
plan on using your DVD player the most, size may really be a big
factor in your decision. If you have a family that’s going to be
watching movies in the minivan, you can bet you want to find a
portable DVD unit with a larger screen so everyone gets a chance
to view the movie. On the other hand, if you travel mostly by
yourself or with a significant other, smaller may be the perfect
thing for you, easy to haul and manage anywhere.Disc Formats Supported by the Portable DVD Player: If
you’re into creating your own home movies or music cd’s you need
to look into whether or not the machine you want to buy can
support other file types (CD-R, CD-RW, or DVD-R). Make sure your
machine is capable of also playing just a standard music CD.
Size of the DVD Player:While most machines look like weight should never be a factor,
there can be significant differences in weight from one type of
portable player to another….as much as a couple of pounds.
Read carefully so you know just how much each unit weighs. If
you’re hiking across the country, weight can make a big
difference.Outputs that the Portable DVD Player comes with:
You may not think that this matters, but eventually you’ll wish
you thought of this sooner rather than after you’ve purchased a
unit. You’ll want a unit that comes with an S-Video outlet for
video, as well as Optical Out for audio. These features will
come in real handy when you get to your relatives that don’t
have a DVD player, and gives you the option of watching a movie
on their TV, by hooking into their TV and possibly their
stereo…instant theatre for everyone.
How much do Portable DVD Players cost?
The price of a portable dvd player can vary quite a bit. Some of
the dvd players with less features or quality will start at
approximately $150.00 for a new portable player. On the high end
of the price scale, you may be looking at paying as much as
$600.00 for some of the better quality machines. Like anything,
you usually get what you pay for.
Like all electronics, the price of portable dvd players has
started to come down, as compared to a couple of years ago.
Another option is to look at is buying a used portable player,
not highly recommended by me. Just my opinion with electronics,
but you have no idea how electronics have been treated. The
outside may look great, but who cares if all the important parts
aren’t working properly. It’s not like buying a used baseball
bat, you know what your getting by looking at it. If you can’t
test out a used portable dvd player, I’d recommend you stay away
from this option.
Quick Summary
From what I’ve seen on the market and looked at, I don’t think
think that you’ll find any terrible portable dvd players. Like
anything though, usually if you pay more you get a better
quality product (dvd player in this case), better picture and
features. All I know for sure is, when the kids start getting
wired when we’re travelling, it sure is nice to put on a dvd
movie and keep them entertained.
