Budget DVD Players

By The Manolith Team on October 16th, 2008

Many manufacturers have mass-produced budget DVD players, which makes finding a cheap processor relatively simple. Most retailers will stock a wide range of players that sell for less than fifty bucks. This is good news for people who can’t afford to spend hard earned money on units they are often too busy to use. Budget DVD players are a great choice for the family who watches a movie once a week and otherwise uses their DVD player on rare occasions.

The good news is that many features once considered high-end, now come standard on most low-cost, budget DVD players. You can expect to find a machine that offers slow motion, progressive scan, zoom, pause, and others (via remote control) for less than fifty bucks!

Most budget DVD players are manufactured in Asia at various OEM factories. Some examples of decent, but cheap, DVD players are:

The CyberHome CH-DVD300S – this unit is low-cost and offers typical DVD features afforded most DVD players. It boast a compact design and takes up very little shelf space. This unit can be purchased for about forty dollars and produces video imagery in progressive scan. This CyberHome unit outputs imagery (using component outputs) to an HDTV in 480P. This budget DVD player can also read VCD, JPG, MP3, and SVCD on DVD R/W, CD R/RW, and R/RW (features that are standard on most budget DVD players). The unit is equipped with RCA stereo audio outputs for 2-channel audio and it also boasts a digital coaxial output, but does require a receiver to decode. This budget DVD player weights just over three pounds and is just under nine inches wide.

During your search for a budget DVD player, you might also want to check out the NexxTech DP222. This unit is only thirty bucks, making it one of the most affordable units available, and is the exact same unit that would have cost hundreds of dollars a few short years ago.

The NexxTech DP222 boasts slim design and offers video output in progress scan to any HDTV. It has a resolution presentation of 480P and plays DVD, SVCD, VCD, MP3, CD, JPEG, CD/RW, and CD/R. This budget unit makes a great second DVD player and would be perfect for a kid’s room or a camper.

Electing to buy a budget DVD player is a economical choice for people who don’t have hundreds to spend. When you shop for your low-cost, budget DVD player, be sure to look for some of the standard features indicated above.
