Variety can also raise confusion in the market. You want a portable DVD player but are now confronted with two options. Should you go for dual screen portable DVD players or one with the single screen is good enough? The single screen player looks very similar to a laptop while the dual screen, as the name suggests, allow you to mount two screens. Both being equally popular, the final buying decision would actually depend on your need. However, both the styles are not without its fair share of advantages and disadvantages. Here is some food for thought:
- With regard to mounting, each of these types has separate mounting requirements. For example, the single screen can be mounted in the space between the two front seats. It usually requires a tray to be kept in place and to keep the viewing position right. Each of the two screens of the dual screen portable DVD players however has to be mounted to the back of each of the front seat. A Velcro strap usually keeps them in place. Both these screens are easy to mount and install.
- In terms of portability the single screen DVD player is easier than players with two screens.
- If the vehicle you are traveling in is large like a SUV etc, then using dual screen portable DVD players makes more sense. Viewing is more comfortable in such dual screens. But if the car is smaller then you need to invest in single screen DVD players. The other advantage of the single screen viewing is that the controls are very conveniently located.
- If the screen size is your primary concern, then DVD players with single screen definitely offer larger viewing area than those with dual screens. In these double screen players, each screen is smaller than its single-screen counterpart. Having said that, you also need to remember that the screen sizes are actually inconsequential, so long as the right player is installed in the right size of the car. Viewing is comfortable in both the types of players.
