How to Buy a Portable DVD Player

Portable DVD Players are becoming very popular these days because they give you the ability to take all of your favorite movies, music, and pictures while you're on the go. With a Portable DVD Player you'll never have to be stuck in a car, airplane, or hotel room bored again!

It's important that you know what you will be using your Portable DVD Player for before you buy it so that your all of your needs are met. Many people buy them based on a single attribute, such as the screen size of the player. Though buying the biggest screen size can enhance your viewing experience, what good is a Portable DVD Player if you can't carry it around with ease?

Below you will find a few things that our product specialists recommend our customers to look for in before buying a Portable DVD Player.

Screen Size: The screen size of a Portable DVD Player can make a significant impact on the viewing experience. If the screen is too small you won't be able to see details that might play a big role in the movie. On the other hand, if the screen is too big the DVD Player might loose its "portability", making it difficult to carry around.

Battery Life: If you plan on using the Portable DVD Player for long periods of time without being on charge, you may want to consider the amount of playback time the battery provides. If the battery life isn't longer than two hours, then you probably wont be able to watch a movie from beginning to end. Try to get one that can offer more than two hours of playback time (so it lasts longer than the length of an average movie).

Disc Compatibility: You may want to consider the types of discs that the Portable DVD Player is compatible with before making your purchasing decision. For example, if you want to burn DVD's from your computer, make sure that it can play the DVD-R or DVD-RW formats.

Portability: You may want to consider how "Portable" the DVD Player is before making a purchasing decision. If the DVD Player is too big and bulky, it might be difficult for you to carry around. Though as technology advances, even Portable DVD Players with large screen sizes are becoming extremely compact.

Included Accessories: The accessories that come with the Portable DVD Player should have a big impact on your purchasing decision. If you find one at a great price, but lacks many of the accessories that other Portable DVD Players come with you might just end up having to pay more in the long run. Consider accessories such as AC/DC Adapters, Remote Controls, AV Cables, S-Video Cables, Car Adapters, Car Mounts, Headphones, etc.

AV Cables: Audio and Video Cables, which transfer the audio and video information from one electronic device to another.

S-Video (Separated Video): An analog video signal that carries the video data as two separate signals.

AC Adapter: An external power supply for your camera or other electronic device that converts AC (alternating current) from a wall plug to DC (direct current). Some AC adapters also double as rechargers.
