The Best DVD Players

This DVD player stole our hearts because the compact design fits in perfectly with any home cinema setup without being clunky or an eyesore.

Sony's DVD player is the best of the best when it comes to playing DVDs. It has upscaling technology, which mathematically matches the pixels from the TV to your movie. This means that the player will convert content to make it the highest quality possible for that DVD. Sweet, right?

Another feature we love is that this unit can actually memorize the resume points for six previously played DVDs. For you, this means you can stop Deadpool halfway through and then pick up right where you left off instead of searching manually and going through the hassle of skipping and fast-forwarding again.

It supports every type of DVD except Blu-ray DVDs. It can play up to 1080p—simply plug in an HDMI and you're ready to watch high-quality movies. You can also play CDs or take advantage of the JPEG or MP3 playback potential.

The player is 10.6 inches in length so it can fit comfortably in any entertainment center. AA batteries will be required for the remote.

Key Features

• 10.6 inches long
• Able to upscale pixel count of the DVD and TV
• Player can memorize the resume points of up to six previously played discs

Multi-format playability is just one reason we're digging Impecca's DVD player. The player handles formats like CDs, MP3s, WMA, DVD+R, and DVDs, so you have flexibility as to what to watch. Plus, it has a clock so you can check the time.

A two-channel output enhances your experience to the max because the audio and visual merge together for an immersive, delightful viewing experience with a resolution up to 1080p.

The player comes with a remote that is enabled with features like skip, slow motion, advance zoom, and single step play. It also has anti-shock protection.

Best of all, the player is able to up-convert to Full-HD 1080p.

Key Features

• Remote control with helpful, user-friendly features
• Aspect ratio conversion of 4:3 to 16:9
• Displays the time on the front of the player

The remote control with skip, slow motion, advance zoom, and single step play functionality is one of many perks to this DVD player. This model is also made by Impecca and has similar features. However, not everything is exactly the same.

The primary difference is in the connectivity potential. Instead of HDMI connectivity, this unit has a USB connective option. With USB, it works on worldwide voltage while consuming little power. A USB port allows you to connect content from a USB—images, music, videos—to the player.

In addition to DVDs, other discs work with the player like 8 cm and 12 cm CDs, so you can play music in addition to watching something! If you burn your own discs, those will work too.

The remote is great, the brand is great, the multi-play functionality is great, so all around, this DVD player rocks.

Key Features

• Remote control-operated
• USB connectivity
• Two-channel output design

Craig's DVD player is uber compact and lightweight. Weighing just 1.7 pounds and being not even 8 inches across, this one is a great choice for movie watchers who don't have a ton of free space to work with. This DVD player is so small it can weasel its way into just about any space!

It comes with a remote with all the bells and whistles. However, this player heavily relies on the remote, so you'll have to make sure to hold onto it.

In addition to the compact size, this one is an excellent choice for shoppers on a budget. It's compatible with DVDs, JPEGs, and CDs, so you can play all your content––both audio and visual.

Key Features

• Comes with an AC/DC adapter
• Works with a comprehensive remote
• Compact size
