Hi, i'm looking for a nice headrest monitor to replace my 5.6" screens. i want a 7" screen but i'll consider a good 6.5" also. i've seen the TM-700VGA at digitalww.com and i'm considering that one. i don't need the vga however, i just need an RCA output to go to my dvd player. i don't foresee a computer in my car anytime soon. i've thought about some clarions that are on sale and also the TM-701VGT. all nice screens. does anyone have a suggestion as to monitors that will go well in my headrest? i'd like to have something w/ wide viewing angles. Thanks!

I am using Clarion 5.6" in my truck and a friend is using the 7" wide screen. We have had no problems or complaints about the quality of these units.

I have made some changes since that pic but you get the idea

how is the picture from different viewing angles? the last 5.6" screens i had looked horrible if you weren't directly in front of it. i'd like a screen that would still be clear to the person sitting in the middle seat. i was thinking about getting a flipdown monitor for the 3rd row to view but i have a sunroof in my Tahoe. right now my options look like the Savv 7" screen, Clarion 7" or 6.5" and TM-700VGA, the 700VGA is the cheapest of the bunch at only $230.

If you don't need the VGA input of the TM-700VGA then you can go with TM-7002S (http://digitalww.com/LCD_TM_7002S_BLACK.htm). It uses the same LCD panel (Panasonic 800x480) so the picture is perfect from any angle. They also come in Black and have headrest shrouds. Here is an install using these monitors: http://www.digitalww.com/TM701L_install14.htm

If you are interested, $380 shipped in US.
