Before purchasing a DVD player, ensure that you have the right equipment to support it. For example, a DVD player with HD upscaling will require an HD ready TV.
Most DVDs have a region code that prevents them from being used outside their assigned area.
If you want to connect external devices to your DVD player, look for a model with a USB port.

Then the features of a DVD player are also in our consideration.
DVD players allow you to enjoy a huge catalogue of titles. DVDs are similar to VHS tapes, except they feature higher quality footage, store much more data and give you access to additional content with the push of a button.
Many DVD players can be connected to your home network via WiFi or an Ethernet cable. More often than not, this will give you access to a host of online content and apps like YouTube or Netflix.
Portable DVD players feature a built-in screen so you have everything you need in a lightweight, compact form. If you have young kids, you may benefit from having a portable DVD player for car journeys.
If your home has a modest living or media room, consider a TV with a built-in DVD player. These units are a real space saver as you won’t need any extra devices or remote controls.
