I am thinking about putting a flip down screen about a 10inch or bigger. I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions and places on where to purchase?

 

Check out ebay. They have some pretty good deals.

 

I have been eyeing the audiovox one that is 12.2 I think... I don't care for audiovox, but this one is removable (pops out of the overhead dropdown holder) and can be brought in and used in the house. It has a built-in DVD. You can also buy another dropdown housing and put it in another car and just switch it out whenever.

It runs like 450 for the screen, 200 for the dropdown casing, and they have a 'shuttle' with speakers built into the sides for portable use (house, hotel, etc.) It has a stand on the back like a picture frame for tabletop operation and the 'shuttle' is not needed for portable use.

It is kind of thick though compared to other LCD screens, but worth looking into.

Do I sound like I work for audiovox or what? LOL.

 

i had a 14.1 inch in mine and it was sick!!!! my friend has a 15 and that is as big as you can get it if you want it to fit in between the headrests.... i had bought a 20" flip down and was gunna throw it in but it was too damn big hahaha do i would go with 15" max!!!! farenheit is awesome but i would get just the screen and either xbox or ps2 for the dvd player... or get a dvd/cd deck... or get a dvd car player just like a reguler deck and hide it somewhere!!!

Audiovox makes some really nice looking screens. JVC also has some nice looking screeens but their selection compared to Audiovox is limited.

 

Wow great looking screens. What brand are those.

sweet setup ciscob! I did a similar setup for a customer in his 05 Yukon a year back, that was my first overhead job ever

 

i forgot the brand on the screens but they were actually made by sharp for another company the picture is clear from all angles

 

What type of LCD screen I should look for. I know they have different types like active tft or some sorts.

Thanks everybody for your help

 

Cisco man, you need to go with a drop down plasma.. . be pimp.....or have it flip up.. who knows, get creative!

 

Issaac, how about you give me the money for a drop down plasma

 

try circuit city if you have one around you or, the wiz, those are some good places.

 

there's ALOT of flipdowns here at www.savinglots.com in the mobile video section. I might go with a 14 inch Pyle very soon.

 

I have a question. The cheaper flip downs i'm seeing are 4:3

I'd love to have a 10-13 inch 16:9 but they all seem a bit pricey on my buget.

So my question is, how does the 4:3 ratio screens react to a 16:9 video? Do they add the bars at the top and bottom or does the image fill the entire screen leaving some of the video out?

 

you'll get bars.

 

I have a 10.4" dei directed fold down that is 16:9 and it is clear as hell... I want to sell it if any one is interested 300.00..

16:9 is the only way to go! If you are going to spend it , spend it right

 

awesome! Thanx
