Some things to check when shopping for a portable DVD player -

Screen size - if you wish more than one person to be able to watch in comfort, you might want to invest in one of the larger screens. For personal use, a 5" screen may be just fine. If you are thinking of mounting your portable DVD player on the car seats, for passengers in the back to watch, you should go for a larger screen size. Multi-angle viewing is also important if you want several people to watch at the same time.

Speakers/headphones - if you plan on using your portable DVD player in private, you might want to invest in a good pair of headphones to go with your machine. On the other hand, if you plan on watching a DVD in the company of others, you should go for a good set of speakers. For a comfortable combination, some portable DVD players offer wireless headphones, sometimes more than one set.

Playback formats - these can change significantly from one portable DVD player to another. If you wish to use your player for more than just watching store-bought DVD's you should make sure you get one that is compatible with more formats.

Battery life - if you want to take your portable DVD player on bus rides, flights, and anywhere else where you can't hook your player into a socket, make sure you get one with good batteries. A NimH battery will be better for you, as you can recharge it even when it's half full.
