Who has TVs and what size are they? Are they mostly composite video sources, anyone have VGA? How hard is it to mount one in a head rest that is cloth?

What are the brands most people prefer?

Do you wire them straight from the battery or use a DC-DC inverter to maintain stable voltage without the waves from the Alternator?

How much glare do they have in sunlight?

Anyone have a touch screen, if so, how much glare do they give out and how bright?

I just saw this head unit at Walmart.com

Looks like a cheapo to me for $175... I like the LCD however. 160W total output tho.

I havent found a decent screen yet that has low Glare for direct sunlight use - not that the dont exist, they are just expensive. A Lot of people have had problems with Japan monitors like Lilliput and Xenarc knock offs so I was just curious if anyone has had any luck and what brands they are.

I can order just about anything from Accelevision.com if you'd like.

I saw a 200W touch screen unit at wal-mart, it was 400 bucks. It played dvd's, cds, mp3, etc.

Stay away from dual's screens. Since I started working in the bay we have had so many returns or replacements on them.
