DVD Players are an electronic device used for playing discs produced under the DVD video standard. Most players need to be connected with a TV or to a computer monitor but several; especially the portable models come with their own LCD screen so you can take it on the road with you or even on the plane for that long trip.



DVD players have made it possible to watch movies and listen to music with a better picture and sound quality, making it a favorite and by far the most popular home entertainment device. The first DVD player burst on to the world's consumer electronics scene in the mid 90s and since then has seen many innovations and upgradations. Today the market is flooded, mostly by China, with a great variety of devices that fall within varying price ranges. So you could want a player with all the world's features for a couple of thousand dollars or a cheap player that costs you less than a $100.

You could choose between portable, multiple, recordable and region free players but before you make a purchase check the player's compatibility to your TV's AV receptacles. There is no correct answer to the question of which player you should purchase. Basing your decision on your budget and the features you want in a player should get you going in the right direction.
