DESOBRY Mini DVD Player with HDMI (1080P upscaling) – All Region Free compact disc player
Product description
If you still have DVDs you want to watch on the big screen, this DESOBRY mini DVD player is built for simple, no-fuss playback. It’s compact by design, takes up little space, and aims to work across a range of settings (from home TVs to projectors).
That said, it’s not trying to replace a streaming box or a modern media server. It’s a disc/older-media player, so whether it makes sense depends a lot on what formats you actually own and expect to play.
The essentials
This is a compact DVD player that focuses on portability and straightforward connections. On paper, it’s sized to be easy to store and carry (it’s described as a quarter of the size of an ordinary machine), which makes it particularly interesting if you’re setting up a temporary media station.
It also leans into “keep watching from where you left off” with memory playback, and it’s described as quieter in operation, including for discs that may be more scratched than ideal. In real-world terms, that won’t magically turn unreadable discs into good ones, but it’s a sensible feature set for anyone who still has a DVD shelf.
What you’ll notice day to day
The big day-to-day factors are size, connections, and how forgiving it is with playback. The unit is small and light, so it’s less of a faff to take out for camping or an RV setup. It’s also said to read discs within a few seconds, which helps when you’re just trying to get to the video without waiting around.
For viewing, it offers HDMI output for smart TVs and projectors, plus RCA (AV) output for traditional TVs. The HDMI link is where you’ll probably enjoy the “full HD 1080P upscaling” claim most clearly, because upscaling only matters if your display chain can take the signal.
Key playback support (and the limits)
This player is described as “All Region Free”, meaning it can play standard discs from all countries. It also supports a range of disc types: CD, DVD, DVD±R, DVD±RW, CD-R/-RW, VCD, SVCD, and Kodak Picture & Photo CD.
Beyond discs, it includes USB / TF card input and lists support for several media file types and formats (including MPEG-1V, MPEG-2V, H.263, XVID, DIVX, plus MP3, MP2, WMA, AC3, PCM, and JPG). The storage note provided says it supports up to 32GB with FAT32 format.
However, do note the limitation that it doesn’t support blue-ray discs and it also doesn’t support MP4 files. That’s the kind of detail that can save you headaches—if your collection is mainly Blu-ray or MP4 downloads, this may simply not be the right tool.
Connections you can actually use
If you’ve got a modern setup, the HDMI connection is the obvious route. The package is described as including an HDMI cable, which removes one small “what if I don’t have the right lead?” problem.
If you’re working with an older TV, RCA is included too, so you’re not forced to rely on adapters. This dual approach is one of the more practical aspects of the design: it’s meant to be usable in different living situations, not just one specific TV type.
Where it shines (and where it may feel dated)
Worth considering if you mainly want to watch DVDs on a bigger screen, especially in settings where you want something compact and easy to move. It’s also a reasonable pick for households that keep a mix of discs and basic media files on USB/TF cards.
It might not be the best choice if your viewing habits are mostly streaming-based, or if you expect the player to handle MP4 files and Blu-ray discs. In those cases, you’ll end up frustrated—this is more of a playback device for older formats than a modern all-in-one entertainment system.
There’s also a subtle point to keep in mind: “All Region Free” and the listed format support are helpful, but actual playback can still vary depending on disc condition and how your files are prepared. It’s not perfect, but the memory playback and the ability to read even scratched discs (as described) suggest it’s designed with real-world collections in mind.

What’s included
The package is described as including 1 mini DVD player, 1 HDMI cable, 1 RCA cable, 1 USB cable, 1 remote control, and a user manual. That’s a useful bundle if you’re setting up quickly, particularly if you need HDMI for a smart TV or RCA for a traditional one.
Is it worth it?
It’s a solid pick if you want a compact All Region Free DVD player for home, camping, or an RV setup, and you’re looking for HDMI output to connect to a smart TV or projector. The listed support for multiple disc types and USB/TF card playback (with FAT32 up to 32GB) also makes it attractive if you keep a mix of older media at hand.
You may want to skip it if your main library is Blu-ray or MP4 files, because it explicitly doesn’t support those. It can also be less satisfying if you’re expecting a streaming-first experience—this is built around disc and card playback.
