Virtually all large widescreen TVs have the control you're looking for.  I
haven't looked at enough ****table DVD players to see if they do (the
cheapier older one I have doesn't.)

If you mostly use it plugged in, perhaps the best replacement is a small
surplus laptop; a very old model by today's standards (say, a 400mhz
processor) will play DVDs just fine, and there are some console-based
players for Linux so there'd be no need to even put XWindows on it.
