Sylvania - 13.3” Portable Blu-ray Player with Swivel Screen - Black

Beautiful picture. Right size screen for a player. A little more than I intended to pay but overall a good product.

Screen quality and ease of use is very good. It’s a little loud/not as smooth once it starts up but since we’ve used headphone for this, the user doesn’t hear it while watching and it becomes less of an issue if you don’t have headphones. Sound quality is good. Nice big screen so multiple people have a good view. During the ice storm in Feb 2021, having this came in handy when we had no power, and was one of the things we made sure we charged up whenever we got power back. We put it on the coffee table or dresser, and the three of us were able to watch some movies without squinting (we sat within 10ft of course, not across the room). The remote is handy, just make sure you are pointing it at the sensor a little more directly than just at the machine. That was probably the only semi-frustrating thing about this, but it’s not a deal breaker by any means. Very much worth the money and convenience!

Sometimes you need to watch something in another room, and/or don't want to disturb your partner, and/or you're just not able to stream what you want. And the portable dvd player you already have can't play blu-ray discs. So you have to purchase something else. I bought this one, and I'm very pleased. The speakers are okay, but I wanted better sound so I went back and bought an inexpensive pair of gaming headphones, which are working perfectly fine. And they let me watch something without disturbing my partner. All in all, I'm quite pleased.

I've seen a lot of reviews on here complaining about the sound quality and the dark screen, but thats not my experience. Screen quality is pretty good.. After I went into the settings and adjusted the brightness, contrast and color. The default resolution was set to 480i for some reason, but it was easy enough to change it to 1080i. The screen size is a big plus, I can clearly see it from 6 ft away, but the viewing angles are terrible; Watch it straight on or it washes out completely. The speakers are loud enough, but not great quality. I put in a nice pair of earbuds and it sounded great, it even has Dolby DTS Audio. It has HDMI out, a LAN cable and a card reader, none of which I'll probably ever use. I plan to try the AV input sometime to see how that works. Overall it's a nice Blu-ray player, but I think it's a little overpriced.

This is by far the best Blu-ray DVD player except the price is a bit high, but beside that you can’t go wrong. My DVD player was a bit dated and wasn’t a Blu-ray so I decided to buy this because most DVDs are going to be eventually be Blu-ray anyway. The picture quality and size (laptop size) is want sets it apart from other DVD players. You can watch movies in bed or watch them outside with it’s swivel screen.

I originally bought this to use it as portable but I've ended up using it primarily as a regular blu-ray player feeding my TV. The controls are a little finicky - in particular I have to consciously remind myself which are the fast-forward and rewind buttons because the arrangement of the buttons is different to what I'm used to from a lifetime of other remotes and electronics control panels. The switch that changes output from 720 to 1080 is pretty cool. When you finish playing a disc, it keeps spinning for a while so I wait a solid 30 seconds before opening the door to take it out. Functionally, this acts completely like a regular blu-ray player EXCEPT that it does not "remember" when you left off if you stop in the middle of something. You will have to re-navigate to your spot the next time you turn it on. When watching a series, for example, I have to select the specific episode every time I start again. The screen it comes with is VERY bright and must be viewed basically straight-on, or else you lose the ability to see the picture pretty fast from an angle. Overall though I am very happy with it. The battery lasts long enough to watch at least two full-length movies.

Pretty picture and decent battery life. Battery last around 3 hours. Comes with 12v charger so no issues with power. The sound isn't the greatest so I'd recommend headphones or an external speaker. The swivel screen is great. Dissapointed that it doesn't have screen mirroring to stream from of a cell phone.

Had mines for a long time now, best device I ever bought from Best Buy.
