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.

Excecutive Sumarry about Portable DVD Players - Your Best Journey Partner By Alden Jerry

There are various facts that you should always keep in your mind before buying a portable player for you. Consider all possible buying and research criteria and please ignore the media hypes made about any product. Some of the possible facts are stated below:

* The Life of Battery: This is really a big issue for the constant travelers and this should not be taken as grated as this may spoil the enjoyment of your trip. Always go for at least two hours of battery life in a video playback mode. There are various players that give the backup of up to four hours.

* Car Kit: If you are planning to use your DVD player in the car, then you should purchase a player that includes a car adapter. To avail maximum convenience, go for a tablet model with the facility of wall mounting system that will attach your player on the back of the front seats. You can easily choose where to install that player.

* Format Support: Your player is made to support standard DVDs that run MPEG-2 files, but you should also look for some other formats like MPEG-4 ASP (Advanced Simple Profile), WMV9 (Windows Media Video 9), DivX, and XviD. Support for CDs and MP3s could turn your video player into a jukebox. If you burn CDs or DVDs, make sure your player supports writeable (CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-R.

* Output Jacks: Practically all DVD players can plug into a PC or TV for large-screen playback. However, high-quality outputs like S-Video for video or Optical Out for audio will give better playback quality.

* Screen Orientation: The more clarity in pictures, the better. A 7-inch screen is normal with many players, but a 10-inch screen makes viewing more pleasurable. If you use the player in group surroundings, a swivel screen will ensure that everyone gets a view.

* Sound Control: You won't always be using headphones, so check the sound quality of the player's built-in speakers. The good stereo quality is a must. Make sure you can add peripheral speakers. You may also need a small duo for business presentations.

* Weight: If you love to travel with less baggage, check the weight of any player you consider to buy. Anything heavier than 5 pounds can feel like a block after awhile. Don't be confused by size either. Some of the less-weight players have overweight batteries.
