Portable DVD player comparison: philips, db DBPOWER& more
We now come to our portable DVD player comparison, which we have compiled on the basis of publicly available product information and existing customer reviews. The portable DVD players were not tested by us in practice. The most important criteria for our evaluation can be found on the right side of the product picture.
Modern DVD players no longer have just a DVD player, a screen and a battery. To keep up with the latest technology – smartphones, tablets and PCs are serious competitors – manufacturers are also building tuners into their DVD players or enabling data exchange via USB.
All these are of course relevant criteria, as well as the screen diagonal and the resolution of the device. For many customers, it will also be interesting to know whether it is possible to install the player in a car. Installation in the car is possible.
Recommendation for purchasephilips – PD9025/12
brand: philips
COLOR: black, silver
for car headrest: yes
power supply: integrated battery with 5 h runtime, power adapter
tunerDVB-T
screen diagonal: 9 inch = 23 cm
connections: USB
features: incl. Car kit, power supply, DVB-T antenna, tilting screen
The buy recommendation in the portable DVD player comparison comes from philips: the PD9025/12 caught our eye especially because of its functionality as well as its screen diagonal. At 9 inches it is the size of a small tablet. In addition, the PD9025/12 can also DVB-T and comes with a kit for installation in the car. Rating: complete package for a good price and with a wide range of functions.
Price tip: db DBPOWER – 10.5 inch
Brand: db DBPOWER
color: black
for car headrest: no
power supply: integrated battery with 4 h runtime, power supply unit
tuner: no
screen diagonal: 10,5 inch
connections: USB, SD
features: with game controller and car charger, remote control, swivel screen
The portable DVD player from d DBPOWER is in comparison our price tip. The player is a little bigger than the philips one, but has less battery life and no DVB-T tuner. It can also be installed in a car in an acceptable way, a car charger is included. Also, although there is a game joystick, there are no pre-installed games. You have to download it from this link and unzip it to a USB stick, then plug it into the player and off you go! Rating: cheap DVD player incl. Smaller function as a game console!
Portable DVD player comparison: odys – furo X820023
With the furo X820023 odys has a pretty big DVD player in its portfolio. This one also looks classy, thanks to black piano lacquer. Also has a USB port and SD card slot, but is not suitable (also due to its size) for installation on the headrest of the car. Rating: for those who need a large screen, it is best to choose this portable DVD player.
Portable DVD player comparison: db DBPOWER – 9,5 inch
This model of db DBPOWER has a 9.5 inch screen and has a USB connection. Also a SD card slot all in all it comes very close to our price tip, but has the decisive disadvantage that it is somewhat smaller. The manufacturer claims that the battery life is 5 hours. To check if this is true, a detailed portable DVD player test with this device would be necessary. Rating: good portable DVD player and a real alternative to our price tip!
Portable DVD player comparison: odys – seal (2 screens)
like the philips dvd player, the odys seal comes with everything you need to attach it to your car. With the difference that here are 2 screens, but on a DVB-T module and a battery was saved. Rating: we recommend the seal from odys to all who need 2 screens for the car and want to install the player there permanently.
Portable DVD player comparisonAEG – 4552 (2 screens)
Like the odys seal, the AEG DVD 4552 comes with a very similar kit consisting of 2 screens, a remote control and 2 headphones. In addition, here was not saved on a battery, but the set is of course also more expensive. Rating: if you don’t have headphones yet and plan to use your screens without mains power, you’ll prefer the DVD 4552 from AEG to the odys seal.
