Default dvd video set recommendation from anyone?

Can anyone recommend me a decent but won't cost arm and leg video dvd player + a screen for the headrest or overhead system?

Does it worth it to let someone install it for me then me DIY?

thanks

a company named fahrenheit make good monitors that will not break you. i have been installing them for 5 years now, and next to none have failed. the dvd player are good
but do have some warenity issues. but not too many. the screens cost about $290 for a 7inch and the dvd players around $199. thay also have some nice all in one overhead units that do well and are nice and slim. cant remember prices on them.
if intrested let me know what kind of set up you want and I will suggest some models and give you a more solid price on what thay should cost.

You can do something like 2 provision 7 inch monitors for ~240, or a 12.1 inch flipdown for 250. And for a headunit that plays dvds you're looking at about another 200-250. So total 400-500 bux tops.

I am thinking 6-7" in headrest or overhead. I have a LCD screen with built/integrated video laying somewhere in my workshop. Wonder if I can use those.
Standard dvd player that also plays dvd-r +r + rw. I will try to use the factory stereo.

Could you provide me some model # and some pricing.

Thanks

let see if you are on a budget than an all-in-one overhead is going to be the best option. the MD-830CM 8 inch i sell for $699.95 add wireless headphones at $45 a set. and you are done. the all-in-one is the best choice for the do-it-yourself three wires and your done you can check it out athttp://www.farenheitusa.com if you like what you see and have now where to get it i can sell it to you with a how to. just PM me and ill give you my shops phone number and we can work something out

How long have you had this stuff? I've seen it around before, but i don't know anybody that has these companies products installed. I'm interested in a mounted in dash monitor.
