Remember those long road trips where you’d desperately try to keep the kids entertained?
Or maybe you were the kid in the backseat, bored out of your mind with nothing but miles of highway ahead.
Well, thank goodness for portable DVD players!
These little gadgets have saved countless road trips from becoming a chorus of “Are we there yet?”
The Dual Screen Portable DVD Players
These are the portable DVD players that enable two people to watch the same movie—or a different movie—on two different screens.
Its two 10″ high-resolution LCD screens display video in sharp, detailed 1,024 x 600-pixel resolution.
Ideal for family vacations, each unit has anti-skip circuitry that maintains uninterrupted viewing during turbulent flights or bumpy car rides and each screen provides three hours of power on a full charge.
The audio speakers are adjacent to the screens and the headphone jacks on each unit enables viewers to enjoy entertainment without disturbing others.
Includes two remote controls. Charges via included AC and DC adapters.
Why You Need a Portable DVD Player in Your Car?
- Entertainment for the Kids: The number one reason people get a portable DVD player for the car is to keep kids entertained on long trips. Pop in their favorite movie or a new animated film, and you might just get a few hours of peace.
- No Internet Required: Unlike tablets or phones, you don’t need an internet connection to watch a DVD. This is a huge plus when you’re driving through areas with spotty service.
- Affordable: Portable DVD players are generally much cheaper than tablets or other portable entertainment systems. Plus, you don’t have to worry about kids accidentally downloading apps or making in-app purchases.
- Simple to Use: No apps, no software updates, no complicated interfaces. Just pop in a DVD and hit play. Even the least tech-savvy among us can handle that!
Features to Look for in a Portable DVD Player
When shopping for a portable DVD player for your car, here are some key features to consider:
- Screen Size and Quality: The bigger the screen, the better the viewing experience. But keep in mind that a larger screen may mean a bulkier device. Screen quality is also important—look for a player with a resolution of at least 800×480 pixels for a decent picture.
- Battery Life: Check the battery life of the device, especially if you plan on using it without plugging it into your car. Most portable DVD players have a battery life of 2-5 hours, which is enough for one or two movies.
- Mounting Options: Some portable DVD players come with straps or headrest mounts, making it easy to attach them to the back of a car seat. This is particularly useful if you want to keep the device out of little hands.
- Input/Output Options: If you want to connect the player to your car’s sound system or another device, check for input/output options like HDMI, AV, or headphone jacks.
- Durability: Kids can be rough on gadgets, so look for a player that’s sturdy and well-built. Some models even come with anti-shock protection to keep the DVD playing smoothly over bumps in the road.
- Additional Features: Some portable DVD players come with extras like built-in games, SD card slots, or the ability to play music CDs and view photos. These can add extra value and versatility to your purchase.
