When they first came out, DVD’s were the most expensive things out there. Now, they are very thin and very inexpensive. Most laptops don’t have disk drives to conserve space and reduce overheating.

Happy Shooting!

I presume you meant 'don't have optical disk drives' ? Which is a bit of a pain in some respects. On my laptop I removed the DVD drive and replaced it with another hard drive.
The real reason why there is no optical drive is to save costs !

Amazon has many, from basic to great read/write ones. I use the basic type on my laptop and others in my desktop that I use for copying and utilities.

I have been using an LG Slim Portable DVD Writer for six or seven years without a single hiccup.

I clicked on the link to see what was recommended.
Then . . . when I clicked on the next post, up popped a B&H ad for about a dozen different players!
Just remember, there is nobody out there spying on you!

I did note that the original post asked about a DVD player that could be used both on a computer AND a TV,
I'm not sure that I've seen such a thing.
