Our main reason for purchasing the Toshiba SD-P1900 was for traveling in the car with our 2 year old daughter.  Our family lives across the country approx a 4 hours flight away and we felt a DVD player for the little one was better than a more portable device which might end up getting destroyed.  The main reason why we selected the Toshiba is it is one of the few portable players that it had the ability to play multiple coding formats, including MP3, DIVX, AVI and MPEG4.  Given a variety of different codings for various entertainment outlets these days we felt the more the merrier.  It also comes with a car charger and it also comes with AV output cables.  We were amazed by how long the battery lasts, typically can make it the full flight on one charge.  The picture is really decent for a 9 inch screen and sound is decent as well.  We like the duel audio jacks so two people can listen at the same time.  When the DVD player does work it's amazing. However, it is quite sensitive and found that it skips often and somewhat unreliable if playing a DVD that has a couple of scratches.  The machine itself also is a tad loud for our taste and is pretty heavy to comparable models.  For newer DVD's it's a great machine, but for used or older and overplayed DVD's you're going to get upset.  Instead of saving a few bucks, we should have opted for a new device, it also would have been nice to get one with a screen that can rotate.

I was looking for a not to costly portable DVD player for my grandaughter for her birthday. The "Toshiba - SD - P 1900 Portable DVD Player" is what I found in my price range. Its a brand that I know so I decided to buy, and was very glad I did. She loves to watch movies over and over again, the same one, now she can watch them as often as she likes. She has it with her just about all the time.  In the car  on long trips , it keep her from getting board. This little Toshiba - SD - P 1900 is now a perfect member of my family. It is so easy to use I don't have to help her with it, just put the  DVD in and the unit does the rest for you.  I find the picture quality to be great . I bought her a set of stereo headphones, without the headphones the sound is a little bit tinny, not a big proplem if your not hard of hearing. I would say the Toshiba  - SD-P 1900  is a good value for the price.
