    My previous laptop wasn't able to open a recent study disk. Neither could my regular desktop. Only solution was to get a new laptop. So with this purchase I got a very nice piece of equipment, with a remote. Picture is very good (very very good) as is the sound quality. Not to mention the convenience of having a device that can travel with me.

    Just opened this up Christmas day, first impression is good picture, detailed graphics, ease to use. It comes with remote, swivel screen. The Larger Screen is like watching a flat-screen TV. Recommended

    The player works just fine. It is easy to use. Both sound and picture are good. My reason for not giving the product a 5 rating is the ridicules, annoying and absolutely useless remote control. The device is narrower than a credit card and less than 1 inch longer. The actual space for the forty four (44!) buttons measures 3.2 x 1.5 inches. Needless to say you really have to focus on finding the button you need and then hope that you are able to press the correct button only and not any of neighboring buttons. I feel that the company should provide me with a usable remote or at least give me credit so I can buy something I can use.

    Great sound quality and the volume is much louder than most portable dvd players. I love that it has a nice big screen with great picture quality. Easy to use and surprisingly very lightweight considering it's the size of a 15.6' laptop. No complaints as of yet, I hope it last much longer than the other players I have purchased. Overall a great buy for the low price I paid for it.

    This player was purchased to replace my old VCR/DVD player that finally quit working. I needed to purchase something to play the DVDs I own or they all become worthless. I purchased this one for a couple of reasons. One is the larger screen. I don't want to watch a movie on a 10 inch screen. The second reason is the ability to take this player anywhere because it's portable. If I wanted to watch a movie in my garage, I could. The swivel screen is also a handy feature. The player itself has both decent sound and picture. I'm happy with it so far.

    TaoTronics Portable Swivel Screen DVD Player

    Have used the product several time since purchase, provides clear picture quality and sound, even where sound levels are low. Product is well constructed and controls easy to use. Product is portable enough to be used in various locations without requiring special set up. Swivel screen makes viewing by small groups easier. Haven't used this with a larger screen yet, but this feature is an obvious benefit. Overall, very happy with the product and would recommend for small group use.

    I did expansive research before purchasing a DVD player. After studying the reviews of the TaoTronics DVD player, I was absolutely convinced this was the one for me. I have received my TaoTronics 15.6” Portable DVD Player with Swivel Screen and highly recommend it to all because of the picture, sound quality and ease of use! Don’t let this one get away for u will regret it!

    This portable player has good detail in the picture and once paused it picks back up where I left off watching which is a wonderful feature. The screen is large enough that I prefer to set this player 2 or 3 feet away from me. Here enters the only issue I have which is the very tiny size of the remote which is also truly not user friendly.

    Good Quality but the volume could be a little bit more loud but overall it’s good. When I got home to open the box there was one part that was broken went back to Best Buy and they cannot fix it so I went online and I place another order somewhere else so I’m still here waiting for Credit and it’s been a month already.

    An excellent portable DVD Player

    I am in love with this portable DVD player I just bought. The screen is huge and reminds me of my 12.9” iPad Pro (3rd Gen). I like that it has a tablet mode where you can watch a movie or show any way you prefer. The sound and volume are also good quality. It feels cheap...however...it is actually built really well. I am happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone.

    I wouldn't hesitate to order this item if you like to enjoy your own personal movies rather than having to watch the TV channels that hubby selects. Lol. The picture is great and the sound also. Has a very long time before you need to recharge it. Awesome purchase!

    Good picture. My kids liked that they could control the player with buttons on the player (didn’t need to bring the remote on the car ride). Battery lasted a good 4 hours. Only problem was that the kids couldn’t get the headphone jack to work. Good purchase for our occasional road trips.

    Portable DVD Player also plays CDs

    I bought the Tao-Tronics 15.6" Portable DVD player for a family member who lives in a nursing home and was isolated because of having Covid-19. This item provided entertainment in an otherwise bleak and lonely setting - since he was moved out of his regular home room when testing positive. The DVD player certainly served its purpose since I was able to send in some DVDs and CDs from his own collection. The player was easy to learn to use and I was greatly pleased with this since this gentleman has some disabilities and had to learn on his own, while ill and without my assistance. Obviously, the picture and sound quality does not compare with a home theater system, but it does an adequate job and was perfect in this situation. Now that he has recovered and returned to his home room I hope to be able to donate the device so others in the facility can benefit from watching movies or listening to inspirational songs or sermons when they are confined, either because of illness or just being quarantined. Please note: This device does not play Blu-ray discs (this is clearly stated in product materials).
