I seen a few people here with tvs in their steering wheel, visors, headrests, etc

everyone that has one tv, usually has 2-4 of them. What are these things worth in general?

A few of my friends have DVD + Dolby Digital, but its just a Cameleon LCD screen that is attached to the deck. And i know they paid about $5000 installed (Canadian).

Whats a cheap base price for an LCD screen? and a cheap A/V head unit?

 

Cheap is somewhat relative... $300.00 might be cheap to you but expensive to me... anyhow....

When I was shopping for LCD screens I noticed that 5" screens are usually quite inexpensive and often not overly bright. 5.6" screens in general seem better. I've never seen (or don't remember) a 6.4" or 7" so I can't really comment on them. What I can tell you is regardless of whether it's NTSC or PAL or can automatically detect the signal what you want to watch for is the brightness and contrast. If either are too low the image quality will be poor.

That said... you'll find it quite difficult to find out these numbers on any screen smaller than 10", especially on eBay.

I bought my 5.6" screens at a trade show, they had tons of them hooked up showing the same movie so you could really see the difference. I paid just over $100.00 each for mine.

As far as A/V units, you should probably start out by setting you budget and what you want to do. Do you just want to show DVD's? Do you want to show Satellite TV along with X-Box and PS2 games?

Sorry... keyboard got away from me there.....

Oh and my 12.1" screen has a 200 nit (brightness) and is daylight readable. The two 5.6" screens - I have no idea but they are about 75% as bright as my main screen, that's why I mounted them on the ceiling.

Hey thanks a lot man, and thanks for the pointers. $100 an LCD is half decent.
Quality will matter to a point, but im driving an '02 Daewoo....so like i said...quality isnt important smile.gif
