Review on 📺 Portable 14 Inch Blu-Ray DVD Player for Car with Full HD 1080P, HDMI Output/Input, Dolby Audio, 3-Hour Rechargeable Battery, AUX Cable, USB/SD Support by Ricky Habbani

It looks like this thing can do it all, but it's not entirely true. It has a ton of features and flexible use cases, but they all have minor flaws and issues that you should be aware of. So many features actually make it difficult to decide where to start. Firstly, the device itself has a lot more logos than shown in the picture, which is quite a shame. It's more than just the Blu-Ray logo, it also has DVD, DTS, Dolby Audio, HDMI and a large Naviskauto logo on the back corner. As advertised, the screen is 14 inches. But overall the device feels pretty thick and bulky compared to a 20-year-old laptop with an optical drive and a similar number of ports. The build quality is similar to cheap Chinese quality, the plastic is flimsy and feels a bit creepy. The machine itself looks mostly empty. It's fairly light, but it looks oddly unbalanced, which makes me want to be careful when moving it around. The screen itself is nothing special with not-too-great viewing angles. But the screen is conveniently positioned so it might not matter that much to a viewer. For some viewers, this becomes more of a problem. So this is an issue, FEATURE, BUT. The screen rotates, but the viewing angles aren't very good. For brevity, the rest of the features I tried are listed here: The display controls can compensate for screen quality BUT these controls are not available when used in HDMI input mode. Plays many video formats from USD or SD cards BUT does not support H.265 or Hi10P. It looks like the firmware can be updated BUT there is no manufacturer website to get updates (and apparently no fan community for some anti-Cinavia hacks). This device appears to be sold under multiple labels, so who is the real manufacturer? By the way, the manual doesn't say anything about it. The HDMI output works pretty well BUT there is no way to go back to the built in display without physically disconnecting the cable, and the screen's built-in backlight stays on all the time. Can switch between HDMI input mode and player mode fairly easily BUT it seems to restart and switch back to player mode every time as discs and devices are recognized. Has a rechargeable battery that looks ok so far BUT the charger only draws 70mA. So expect that 4000mAh battery to take quite a while to fill up (if that's the true spec). Comes with a remote control BUT the remote control cannot turn the device on or off. The screen rotates BUT is limited to 270 degrees. Comes with this great cling film BUT it's a bit worrying when it's removed, as if it had been installed under the frame before assembly. The composite output works and helpfully has a gentle reminder to set it to 480i output BUT this doesn't work as downscaling for incoming HDMI signals. Comes with a ton of goodies and cables, including a composite output, car charger (a big bonus for road trips), HDMI, and even batteries for the remote control. There are no "buts" here, the only contradiction is that all these goodies suggest that they don't cheapen the whole package, but there is certainly a cheapening in the device. All ports are labeled and there are no location issues here. DC in is a barrel shaped connector. All in all, if those limitations don't bother you, this is quite a killer device. It seems, as if some of these monkey paw bugs shouldn't be too hard to fix, but I don't think you can look forward to any updates. A portable device that supports full 1080p Blu-Ray is pretty rare. It can easily serve as a quick and easy temporary HDMI display, and I take it with me when I'm trying to shop for gaming consoles or digital cameras on Craigslist for a quick test. Likewise, the HDMI and composite outputs make it easy to connect to a hotel room or test TV as a fun signal generator. The separate composite output and headphone jack are a really nice touch. So what are the competitors? Laptops with built-in BluRay drives are almost extinct, but external USB drives are relatively affordable and easily available for $30-$50. Laptops have a lot more utility, they can definitely work with exotic codecs and that's it. Anything bought today should work seamlessly with those weird codecs at full 1080p in software. However, laptops may not have full HDMI output ports, and you'll need to lug around a micro-HDMI or display port adapter. There will be no analog output. A lot of people don't have headphones. It definitely doesn't have an HDMI input. It might just make you think you had better try one of them for YOUR application. To me it' just might make you think that for YOUR application you'd better try one of them. To me it' just might make you think that for YOUR application you'd better try one of them.
