Portable DVD players make great gifts for all ages. They are not as complicated as computers, so even children can use them with ease. They are less expensive than laptop computers, making them good compromises for teens who simply want electronic entertainment.
The popularity of portable DVD players means that many different types are available: players marketed for children, teens, women and men; players with handles; and round players. There are even portable DVD players with screens, for viewing on airlines or in the car, or without, for hooking up to an entertainment system at home. When you decide which player to get, how do you choose?
For those film fans who want the cleanest, sharpest image possible, progressive scan DVD players deliver the best. Progressive scan is a method used to draw images onto your screen. Because the images drawn are about double the number of lines drawn with the older interlace method, progressive scan gives you an image that looks more solid.
