8,580 owner reviews, more than most models here
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. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
['At $29.95, the Majority MAJ-DVD-BLK punches above its price with 1080p Full HD upscaling and three output options: HDMI, USB, and RCA. That combination gives it flexibility for both modern HDMI-equipped TVs and older displays with composite inputs.', 'The 8,580 ratings averaging 4.2 stars is a notable data point. That kind of review volume at that score suggests the player is genuinely reliable, not just popular among early adopters. Buyers commonly note ease of setup and solid everyday DVD playback.', 'One quirk worth noting: the weight listed is clearly a data error (742 lb is physically impossible for a disc player). The unit ships as a slim, standard-size player. If you want a dependable, straightforward DVD player under $30 with HDMI out, this is one of the more trustworthy picks in the category.']

Frequently asked questions
Does the Majority MAJ-DVD-BLK upscale to 1080p?
Yes, it outputs at 1080p Full HD over HDMI. Keep in mind that upscaling improves standard DVD content to fit a 1080p signal, but it does not turn a DVD into Blu-ray quality. The result is a noticeably cleaner image than a composite connection, especially on larger screens.
Can I plug a USB drive into this player?
Yes, there is a USB port that supports playback of media files stored on flash drives. This is useful if you want to watch video files or listen to audio without burning a disc.
Does it play Blu-ray discs?
No, the MAJ-DVD-BLK is a DVD player only and will not read Blu-ray discs. If you need Blu-ray support, you will need to step up to a dedicated Blu-ray player.
