This cable allows high definition video resolutions and high-quality audio, and many newer DVD players have this option for video and audio output. However, you will be hard pressed to find HDMI DVD players that are small and portable. HDMI usually is found on models used for home entertainment, not for the road. Some expensive laptops that play DVDs have HDMI-out, but those are not very easy to come by.

In case you are searching for a portable player for road usage, try a simple one since players do not require to be very rich in features.
