    In Car High Definition LCD TV

    Anybody know of any in-car high definition LCD TV? For example, you can get an in-dash LCD screen with built-in TV tuner, but that's an analog tuner. Anyone know of LCD screens with built-in digital tuners?

    None have a built-in digital tuner that I know of.
    None have the hi quality inputs for high definition, either. You're really kinda SOL unless you put a hi-def flat panel in your car (either LCD or plasma). You could go with the mobile satellite TV setup and a hi-def tuner along with it, I suppose.

    Personally, I think it's overkill unless you're building a million-dollar land yacht motor home.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?

    If you're doing it for the novelty of it, then I say fine. But how much time do you people spend in your cars?!

    I spend lots of time in my truck. I enjoy driving, actually....

    However I still think that HDTV in a vehicle is excessive. Hell, TV in the average vehicle is excessive.

    ATI makes a HDTV tuner for computers.



    Should run you less than $150. You'll need a pretty decent antenna to pull in a reliable signal. Let me know if you try it out.
