A portable DVD player is great for alleviating the boredom of long rides on the road. Usually, all portable DVD players are manufactured sturdily for traveling purposes. However, since it is still an electronic device, there is always the probability of it getting spoiled due to the various bumps found on roads. This is where the use of a portable DVD player case comes in handy.

There are many portable DVD player cases available on the market. However, when choosing a case, make sure to choose a good and solid portable case for the delicate portable player. The portable DVD player case has to be large enough to have room to keep the portable player and the extra cables that may be needed to use the portable DVD player–and, of course, a few favorite DVDs. The portable DVD player case is usually made of ballistic nylon, as it is a sturdy material that is both lightweight and water resistant–two requirements for a traveling accessory. They come with an adjustable in-car suspension system that allows for easy attachment to most seat backs, or between two bucket seats. This mounting system can also be detached to convert into a portable carrying case.

In addition to all this, there are also storage pockets for the remote control and discs and sometimes extra space for additional boxed DVDs. For the convenience of listening to the movie while the player is in the case, some portable DVD player cases come with a built-in, double headphone jack. There usually also is a built-in power port that streamlines an AV power cord from the vehicle’s power source. Moreover, there is also a warranty for portable DVD player cases that is usually for twenty-five years or so. So go ahead and buy a portable DVD player case before the wear and tear of use on the road takes its toll on the portable DVD player.

Cheap, portable DVD players are portable DVD players that are at the lower end of the pricing scale. They are typically priced in the $100 to $200 range, with most being priced closer to the lower limit of the price range. With a few exceptions, most of the players in this segment of the portable DVD player market are not the big names in the industry. Low-priced models from Coby, Mustek, Astar, CyberHome, and Audiovox dominate the cheap portable DVD players’ segment.

Portable DVD players are DVD players that enable you to watch movies whenever and wherever you like. They allow you to watch a movie “on the go.” DVD players are devices that play digital video discs (DVDs), an optical disc storage media that stores data, including movies. Since these days DVDs are primarily used to store movies – given the large storage capacity that these discs possess – they have come to be synonymous with movie discs. The discs are normally twelve centimeters in diameter, although a few also come with an eight-centimeter diameter.

Even though they are priced lower, cheap portable DVD players have features that are comparable to the high-priced premium models. Most of them have a seven-inch or eight-inch liquid crystal display or LCD screen, which is attached to the player. There are also a few with a five-inch- or six-and-one-half-inch-wide screen. They are also light and compact. Most also play almost all of the media formats and support all the television systems. However, since one gets what one pays for, there are various other features of the premium models that cheap portable DVD players do not necessarily carry. But, for the price, cheap portable DVD players are a good option for the mobile traveler who is interested in getting the basic yet important aspects of a movie experience.

There are two basic types of portable DVD player that you will find available. One type looks similar to a laptop computer and is a single screen, all in one unit. The other choice you have when it comes to DVD players for on the go is a dual screen portable DVD player. These units have a single player and two separate mountable screens. Which is the better choice? Both are popular and ultimately it comes down to what you need. Let’s take a look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of each type in the areas that matter most.

Mounting

Two different types of DVD players require a different setup to be mounted in your vehicle. An all in one model can be mounted between the front two seats and usually requires the use of a tray or lift to keep it in place and visible at eye level.

Mounting a dual screen player will require you to attach each screen to the back of each front seat. This is done with a mounting kit that typically makes use of a Velcro strap or similar device to hold them in to place.

Overall, there isn’t much difference in the complexity of the two types of installations.

Portability

For taking your player with you around the house or anywhere besides the car, the all in one portable DVD variety has a strong advantage. This design is much more flexible and portable than the dual screen model. You simply take it with you, no messy un-installation required. This type is also good for folks who plan to switch the player between vehicles.

Ease Of Use

If you have a larger vehicle such as an SUV or minivan, a dual screen model may be a better choice because each side of the vehicle can have a clear view of their own screen without straining their necks to watch.

An all in one player works just fine for small cars and has the advantage of having the controls right there next to the picture.

Screen Size

If a bigger screen is what you are after, most all in one models have larger viewing areas than their double screen counterparts. In the two screen setup, each screen is generally smaller than what you would find on an all in one. That said, considering the fact that in any vehicle you won’t be far away from either type of screen, the size is not a huge deal as both are easy to see from just a few feet away.
