Comparing Portable DVD Players
Only a few years ago, a portable DVD player was a luxury item that few could afford. These days, the price of technology has come down so far that most anyone can now own one.

This is perfect for one or two people watching it sitting next to each other on a plane or the couch when the power has gone out and you need to watch "The O.C. - The Complete Second Season" immediately. There are other sizes available, usually from 5" and all the way up to about 10". Some brands have swivel screens, which may come in handy in certain situations. If you are looking to bring one in the car for the kids in the backseat, you may want to look into a player that comes with two screens. One screen usually attaches to the DVD unit and the other tethers to it by cable. These also come with some sort of mounting so that they can be secured to the back of a headrest. For the most part, screen quality correlates with price: The more you pay, the better the screen quality. Now that's not to say an $80 unit is bad, it's just probably not as good as the $160 unit.
