Default TV and DVD?

Hey everyone. I'm looking to put in a tv with dvd. I wanted to know what size you guys think is good. I'm thinking of putting oin a 10" TV with the DVD in the storage compartment under the radio. Should I go smaller or bigger that 10"??

I would go to an electronics store that has a overheads hooked up and working and stand about 1.5 - 2 foot away and see what you think, bigger is always better. But you dont want it to big, cause you sit so close to the screen, i would say between 10"and 12", 15" might be pushing it but go check them out in person and see what you think.

I say check them out at a store. Stand back from them about the distance you would be sitting back from them and judge.

Check out this web site http://www.roadent.com/
I got a system DVD in -dash with a 7.2 flip down monitor, That i mounted my self and I actually put the indash unit in the globe box to hide it , and it cost me $179.99 shipped for complete system its refubished but came with a one year complete warranty from the factory, I also have ordered from them two headrest monitors for $99.00 , I say bigger monitors on the site, the 7.2 is big enuff to me , my kids love it , any bigger would block the rear view mirror, but thats my preference
good luck!, Russ

Tim ask Randy about a monitor, I think he can get a good deal on one for you.

Thx guys but I got this one http://www.cardomain.com/item/POWPT700MHR#reviews shipped for $135. It should fit perfectly where the stock deck opening is. I'm either getting the Alpine or Pioneer AM/FM/DVD player for the oven.
