Portable DVD Players for Kids Now Better Than Ever And More Affordable Than You Think

Online, April 2, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Do an online search for a Portable DVD Player for Kids and you'll have no shortage of offers to purchase a vast array of units by a dozen or so electronic component distributors and manufacturers. Being the wise consumer, most people can figure out how various units stack up against one-another. But the trouble lies in what you need as opposed to what the distributors want to sell you.

Below is an expanded list of the better features to be on the lookout for with in-depth explanation in order to help you decide whether you need said feature or not.

A 9 inch high resolution wide screen LCD scren is nice because you get a very good effect of the movie you're watching. Colours are beautiful and the details are sharp. 9 inch is better than a smaller 7 inch screen. Colour LCD displays bring images to life, as good as a high-quality print. Nice for sharing treasured photos

Having a 6 hour rechargeable battery lets you take the unit with you anywhere you go. 6 hours is long enough to watch two movies back to back without needing to be connected to an AC outlet. 6 hours is a nice length of time - better than cheaper 4-hour battery packs

Buying a 180 degree swivel flip screen unit lets you position the screen in exactly the right viewing position. That way, the base can be on a flat, stable surface and the viewing monitor can be in a whole different plane. It's very good for ensuring the best quality image from any angle.

If you want to do more than just watch movies on your Portable player (but you're not quite ready to invest in an overpriced tablet) it's now possible to get a portable player with a USB port to enjoy movies, music and photos.

Whenever possible, you should try before you buy. And the Portable DVD Player for kids is no exception. Imagine yourself using you portable dvd player while travelling. Are the controls easy to use? Do you need a degree in computer programming to figure this thing out or is i user friendly? Having convenient touch key controls which are easy to find and use can save you many headaches in the future. Especially if you're planning to hook up the player (or players in the case of a dual screen set) on the back of the car headrest for the kids to enjoy while you drive.

In addition to the features noted above, you may also consider a few other things which may be important to you:

The total weight of the unit; 4-5 pounds is a good weight to tote around with you on the go or to pack in a travel bag if that's the case;

Dolby surround sound, Regional coding - some units are region free (which means you can play DVD's and media produced in various parts of the world, not just your mainland
continent);

Number of headphone outputs;
Compatibility to play DVD, DVD+R, DVD+RW, SVCD, CD (in case you have those types of media to play);

Keep in mind that most Portable Dvd Players come with a 1 year parts and labour warranty. You may choose to upgrade the warranty to 2, 3 or 4 years with the additional option of having protection against drops and spills as added protection.
