DESOBRY 10" Dual Portable DVD Player for Car
Quick take
The DESOBRY dual portable DVD player is built for road trips where two passengers want entertainment at the same time, with the option to play different discs on each 10-inch screen. It also adds HDMI input for common streaming devices, plus USB file playback. The main caveat is connectivity, it supports HDMI input only, not HDMI output, so you cannot route the player’s signal to an external display through HDMI.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Dual-screen setup lets each screen play independently for separate movie viewing.
- 10-inch LCD screens with native 1920 x 1080 resolution.
- HDMI input supports 1080P video from compatible devices, plus RCA AV out for TV connections.
- Multiple power options, built-in rechargeable battery, car charger, and AC adapter.
- Supports standard discs and common video files via USB (up to 32GB FAT32).
Cons
- HDMI input only, not HDMI output, so you cannot send the player’s video out over HDMI.
- No Blu-ray support, it’s for DVDs, CDs, VCD/SVCD, and compatible disc/file formats.
- Battery runtime is specified at about 5 hours, and the dual-screen viewing time is shorter when connected together.
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence for this model is limited in volume, but the feedback themes are consistent: people highlight the usefulness of the dual-screen design for keeping kids occupied, the ability to use two remotes and reduce “watch the same thing” conflicts, and satisfaction with picture and audio quality. Installation and setup are also mentioned positively, especially the included mounting options for headrests and the overall ease of use for car use. Some buyers also point out practical features like the “last memory” resume behavior to avoid manually finding where a movie left off.
Designed for families, not just solo movie nights
This is a dual portable DVD player system meant for the back seat and the middle row. With two screens that can run independently, it’s intended to solve the most common family road-trip problem, one child wants a different show than the other. The system also supports mirroring, so you can link the units with the included AV cable when you do want a shared movie experience.
Screen and video connectivity: dual viewing plus streaming input
The included displays are 10-inch LCD screens with a native resolution of 1920 x 1080. For non-disc viewing, the most flexible option is the HDMI input, which is designed to accept 1080P video from compatible devices (such as popular streaming sticks and game consoles). If you plan to connect a phone, make sure it supports HDMI output, because the system supports HDMI input only.
If you want to watch on a larger screen in the car or at a stop, there’s RCA AV out, and the setup includes cabling for connecting to a TV.
Discs, USB, and file format support
As a portable DVD player, it’s intended for standard optical media and certain digital files. Supported disc types include CD, DVD, VCD, and SVCD, along with DVD-R/+R, DVD-RW/+RW, CD-R/+R, and CD-RW-style media formats (Blu-ray is not supported). For USB playback, it supports USB storage up to 32GB (using FAT32) and multiple common video and audio-related formats listed for playback, including VOB, AVI, MPEG, FLV, DAT, DIVX, MPG, and MP3/MP2.
It also includes a last memory function that resumes playback from where you left off, which can make repeated drives less annoying.
Battery life and power options for travel days
The system includes a built-in 5000mAh rechargeable battery. Battery playback is rated at about 5 hours, and when both screens are connected together, the runtime is listed at roughly 2.5 to 3 hours. That makes it most useful for shorter segments, or for using the car charger during longer drives, depending on whether both screens are running at the same time.
You also get three power approaches to match different situations: built-in battery, a car charger, and an AC adapter.
Audio, headphones, and listening in the back seat
Each unit includes stereo speakers, plus a 3.5mm earphone jack. That gives you flexibility if you want a more private audio experience. If you regularly use headphones in the car, the jack is a practical inclusion for quieter drives.
Installation, mounts, and what you need in your car
The system includes headrest mounting options, with both mounting brackets and adjustable straps. The setup is designed to be tool-free, letting you attach the screens to the headrests in a couple of approaches. If your car’s headrests don’t accept standard strap-based mounts well, you may need to compare your vehicle’s headrest shape and attachment points before committing.
Pros and cons for different buyers
Best for
- Families who want two screens that can play different content at the same time.
- Road trips where you need flexible power options for long and short stretches.
- Buyers who want HDMI input for streaming devices, not just DVD playback.
- People looking for USB playback for preloaded video files.
Consider alternatives if
- You specifically need HDMI output to connect the player to another HDMI display, this model supports HDMI input only.
- You want Blu-ray playback, this model is limited to DVD/CD and compatible file formats.
- You expect long uninterrupted dual-screen battery use, runtime is shorter when both screens are connected.
Verdict: worth it if dual independent viewing matters to your household
The DESOBRY dual portable DVD player system stands out most for its practical family feature set: independent dual-screen viewing, built-in battery with travel-friendly power options, and HDMI input for streaming devices. It’s a strong fit if your main goal is to keep kids entertained without forcing the same content on both screens. Just be sure you understand the HDMI limitation (input only) and the media limits (no Blu-ray) before you buy.

WONNIE 10" Car DVD Players, Portable DVD Player Dual Screen review
The WONNIE dual-screen 10-inch car DVD players are built for family road trips, with two headrest-mounted units that can run independently or sync to the same video on one screen. Expect smooth DVD playback, simple mounts, and rechargeable battery operation (about 5 hours per unit separately). The main tradeoffs: you will need DVDs or supported USB/SD formats, and road-noise can affect how clearly the built-in speakers carry.
