GCZ 1080P DVD Player vs onn. HDMI DVD Player

Both are basic 1080p upscaling DVD players, and the onn. is the safer pick for most people. It ships with an HDMI cable and remote batteries, adds parental controls and a USB input, and has a much larger owner base (4,336 ratings vs 1,179) with a slightly higher rating. The GCZ covers more disc formats, including VCD, SVCD and CD-R/RW, and claims anti-shock protection, so it suits people with a mixed disc collection. Build on both is light plastic; neither is a step up in picture quality over the other.

  • Choose the GCZ if you have VCD, SVCD or CD-R/RW discs to play and want anti-shock protection for a bumpy setup.
  • Choose the onn. if you want an HDMI cable and batteries in the box, parental controls, a USB port and the larger track record of owner ratings.

  • 4.3 / 51,179 ratings

Ratings are solid overall, with buyers generally satisfied by the format support and easy setup. Complaints tend to focus on the basic build and the limits of upscaling on older discs.

onn. HDMI DVD Player

  • 4.4 / 54,336 ratings

Questions and answers

Which is better for an older TV without HDMI?
The onn. gives you more ways to connect: composite, component and coaxial alongside HDMI. The GCZ offers HDMI and AV only, so check which input your TV has before deciding.
Does either player come with everything needed to set up?
The onn. includes a 6 ft HDMI cable, a remote and batteries, so it works out of the box on an HDMI TV. The GCZ listing does not state a cable or batteries, so plan on supplying them.
Which handles more disc types?
The GCZ. It lists CD, DVD-R/+R, DVD-/+RW, CD-R/-RW, VCD and SVCD. The onn. is described mainly as a DVD player, so burned or older disc formats are less certain.
Is the onn. worth stepping up to over the GCZ?
If you want an included cable, parental controls and a USB port, yes. If your collection includes VCD, SVCD or CD-R/RW discs, the GCZ covers formats the onn. does not list.
Which lasts longer?
Neither brand publishes a lifespan figure. The onn. has far more owner ratings, which gives a broader reliability signal, but both are budget plastic players with similar expected service life.
Do either upscale DVDs to 1080p?
Both are sold as 1080p players with HDMI output. Upscaling smooths DVD picture on an HDTV but does not match true high definition.
