The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other AV receivers and amplifiers, soundbars, home theater speakers, subwoofers, surround sound systems and Blu-ray players we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
At $34.80, the Lonpoo LP-099 competes in a crowded segment of no-frills DVD players. What sets it apart at this price is the 1080p Full HD output via HDMI. Most players at this tier upscale DVD content to 1080p rather than natively producing it, but the display resolution stays sharper on a modern TV compared to 480p or 720p competitors. The 2.2 lb weight keeps it light and easy to mount or place anywhere.
Lonpoo is a Chinese electronics brand that sells directly through Amazon and has been in the disc player space for several years. The brand is not a household name in the US, which means you are relying more heavily on the review base than on brand reputation. The good news is that 766 reviews give you a reasonable sample to work with.
HDMI-only output means clean digital connection to any modern TV with an HDMI port. There is no RCA listed, no Ethernet, no Wi-Fi, which keeps the unit simple and the price low. If you need any of those extras, you should look elsewhere. For basic disc playback, this is a sensible buy.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Lonpoo LP-099 play Blu-ray discs?
Based on the available specs, this appears to be a DVD player, not a Blu-ray player. If you need Blu-ray playback, you will need to look at models explicitly listed as Blu-ray compatible, which typically start at a higher price point.
What cables are needed to connect it to a TV?
The LP-099 connects via HDMI. You will need a standard HDMI cable, which is not always included in the box. Check the product listing to confirm what is in the package. Most modern TVs have HDMI inputs, so this should be a straightforward hookup.
Is the 1080p output a true upscale or native 1080p?
Standard DVDs are mastered at 480p. A 1080p output on this type of player means the unit upscales the 480p source signal to fit a 1080p display. The output signal is 1080p, but the source content quality is still limited by the original DVD master.
