What is the best portable DVD player for car headrest mount?

Aug 6, 2012 2:10 PM

I have a long road trip ahead of me with a my wife and three-year-old daughter and I have little faith that my current portable 7" dvd player will last . We currently own RCA DRC6272 dual screen players. I have not been real satisfied with these units from the outset.... The quality of construction is bad, the sound is terrible, and that anti-skip might just well be non-existant. The only things they have going for them is they are relatively inexpensive and that each unit can play a dvd separately. This is a convenient as I keep one in my car and one in the wife's. So I am looking to purchase a new dual screen system or possible a single unit (if it's less than $100). I know I will not be getting another RCA!
I am currently considering Philips PD9016/7016, Audivox D1988, LG DP885, Sony DVD FX820.
Does anyone know if consumer reports has reviewed any of these?
Is there a cheap tablet out there that that could work?
Portable DVD with flip/rotating screen?
I do not own an ipad

@wickedd365: Nice!. The only thing missing is some duct tape.

Check your craigslist and be on the lookout for dual systems like the one we sold on CL earlier this summer. It was a Panasonic with a very snug velcro strap device and a safety connector in case the straps give way.

It had a remote and way to plug in headphones as well as external speakers. With the (disposable) laptop (my workplace offloaded some for a great deal for me), it simply obsoleted the DVD player.

The family who bought it was thrilled, as were we. I believe we sold it for about $80, with all the parts and the orig box after paying something like $125 new.

The Philips PD9016/37 9-inch Portable LCD Dual DVD player is great.

Gets good reviews everywhere.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
