Looking for DVD player recommentation (europe.pub)

Dears,

I'm asking for your DVD player recommendations - I'm done with the streaming platforms. I'm looking for something simple and robust with all the important key features but I'm a little lost with the current offer. What's a must have?

Ideally, I'd go for a player that has both HDMI and USB-C in output, to make sure it still works fine in the future - but I'm not sure USB-C output exists. Now I'm also questioning the need of BluRay/image upgrade, as it shouldn't be too expensive.

Do you use a DVD player? What is your recommendation? Would any 2nd have from 2010's do the job?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I understand USB-C output does not exist - and any 2nd hand Blu-ray player would be perfect and be quite cheap! Thanks all for your comments!

I suspect that you'll have a very hard time finding a player that has a native HDMI port, and a USB-C port is probably out of the question with a typical player. I think the other commenters are probably on the right track with using either a console (unconnected to the internet) or an drive for a PC. You may also be able to find a standalone blu-ray player with these features, but I think the USB-C connectors are unlikely. Just make sure that whatever you find, you keep it disconnected from your network (unless you use a PC) if you want privacy.
