Pros: Great Price, Big picture, Great Brightness
I had a different brand before, that was a flip out. I wanted to go with something I could make look more stock. The picture is wonderful, easy to read. I have only had it in my car for a full day. But the Sun was out and it was very readable. Sure it washed out some in direct light, but much better then what I had before.
Cons: None yet, other then the 2 week wait. They are out off stock again.
