Initial IDM-1810 Portable DVD Player with 8-Inch LCD and Car Kit
Black Screen of Death
Do NOT -- I repeat DO NOT buy this unit.  I made the mistake of purchasing it at Circuit City on a Friday for a week-long trip.  Got on the plane, turned on the unit and within 5 minutes, the screen was black.  I arrived at my destination, went into the local Circuit City and we went through 3 brand new units before I found one that wasn't black when I turned it on.  I took it back to the hotel and poof, it went black.<br />Saturday, went back to Circuit City, and I know you'll find this hard to believe, but the store clerk tore through 6 boxes of brand new Intials before finding one that wasn't a black screen.  I took it back to the hotel and needless to say it went black within 15 minutes.<br />So, that's a total of 12 units that were delivered to Circuit City in two different cities that had a black screen.  So please, folks at Initial, don't tell me you don't know what's going on and this is something quirky.  You know exactly what's going on.<br />By the way, kudoos to Circuit City for providing great customer service and doing the best they could under these circumstances.  Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and just got a refund.
