Summary: Not such a bargain
Review: After I received the Mintek MDP-1810, I was disappointed to find that the picture rarely covered the entire screen without the picture being distorted. Every time I turned it on, it came up in the full screen mode, but the picture was stretched horizontally so I had to punch a button three times to change the aspect ratio to something usable. But then the picture only covered about 50-60% of the 8" screen. The picture came in from the sides as well as the bottom and the top. Fine detail was lost. Lettering in menus was often illegible.
Then a couple of weeks later, after I changed from one DVD movie to another, I turned the unit back on and noticed that the blue loading screen did not come up. The screen was lit but blank. The player made sounds as if it were loading, but nothing showed on the screen. The player's own on-screen menus did not show either. I turned the machine off and on a couple of times, tried several different disks, and consulted the manual. I couldn't find any reference to the problem. I returned the Mintek to Amazon and bought a Toshiba SD-P2500 which has a much better full undistorted 8.9" picture.

Summary: Loved It........Until it Stopped Working
Review: Bought mine at Costco over the holidays. Worked for a few days and loved taking it with me during my daily commuter bus rides. However, I started getting the dimmed display everyone has talked about. Sometimes, removing the battery pack and putting it back on worked, and other times plugging it into the AC adapter worked. One time though, I spent a full hour fiddling with it to no avail. Returned it to Costco for refund.
Other notes: Picture quality was average and you can't fast forward or rewind on the unit, but for the money, the shortcomings were acceptable until the picture started to go out.I cannot recommend this product. I'll have to wait on a DVD player for a while because all other 8" players are quite a bit more. I suppose the old addage "You get what you pay for" prevails in this case.

Summary: garbage
Review: Do not buy this model, not worth the money. I have had to return two of these models to costco's. The first time the player would randomly play the dvd's and when i tried to fast forward through the dvd it would not. Returned it and got another one. This one after 4 hours of use the screen would go black and would not shut off unless you cut the power. stay away from this model

Summary: Unless you like to gamble; please read the reviews first!
Review: I admit, the picture quality of the MDP-1810 is great, atleast when it is working. I had to return two of these units to Costco. The first one had a faulty d.c. adapter. The second one played one DVD perfectly fine until it stopped working. I exchanged for yet a third one, which is having problems playing discs containing .mp3 files. After reading the reviews, I am definately returning this thing and avoiding Mintek products like the plague!

Summary: Don't buy it!
Review: I bought this dvd player for my husband. It didn't seem to work at first the screen was always black. After that problem got fixed it froze in the middle of moovies. On rare occasions it works through out a moovie but most of the time freezes or the screen goes black. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Summary: Great DVD player
Review: I bought this to go on a few trips with my 3 year old, and it was great. The picture is good, the battery lasts for aprox. a movie and a half, the sound is alright. It is a cheaper DVD player so you arent getting the top quality of a sony or toshiba but I think it is well worth the money. We use it all the time.

Summary: Nice Gadget, Great Value!
Review: I finally decided to purchase a portable dvd and chose this. I do a lot of traveling and this is perfect for the plane ride as well as great entertainment for my kids. I got the package with the case and headphones. The value was outstanding. I find that it produced sharp pictures and the sound was good. It is also easy to use like a regular dvd player. The wide screen feature is great and I look forward to watching more. When I first used it, it did not seem sharp becuase the color seemed to spill over the images but when I adjusted the brightness and color, it was sharp. I highly recommend this and this is one of the best values that I have purchased.

Summary: Great DVD player!
Review: I haven't had any problems with this portable DVD player. The picture is great...it's not HDTV, but very good for a portable. The sound when using headphones is incredible! I was very impressed. Just okay when on speaker...but that's normal. I'm very impressed with it and recommend this over some others I've seen.
