Default Whatcha think of these monitors?

I have always looked at this website and still haven't made up my mind on the website or the quality of the products. Some of the stuff seems like the old saying, TO GOOD TO BE TRUE. I have a question on one product in particular. These 2 headrest monitors that are already made into the headrest . I am wondering if they are decent quality and if they will fit into the xB. I know probably no one has bought these yet but maybe someone has some other monitor made by the same company though. Here is a link to the product, the price seems really sweet though.

that price seems way to good to be true, check the warranty, I wonder what the off angle view looks likes, check pixle number, and aspect ratio. That is a great price. Bill

The whole purpose of these "non-name brands" is to provide just as good or better product than the leading "name brand". The reason for great prices is simple. Non-namer brands don't spend money on Advertising, thus no need to charge more to make up the difference in money spent on advertisment. This goes for Reaudio www.reaudio.com ... and I'm sure it's the same with that other company too. Just follow scionspecialistvegas advice, it's really good. :D

I have to disagree with that one. I know the majority of raw lcds are made by the same people but there is a big diff between some. I had some Emerson headrest monitors beofre and they looked like crap. Off axis viewing sucked, the image had ghost trails and the image went black and white only after 5 months.

I know have Accelevision monitors in our Protege5 and they are much much better than those crappy Emerson ones. So I would have to say not all monitors are the same. I have an Avic-n1 in my xB and a Kenwood KVT910DVD in my wifes Protege5 and they are way better lcd's then some of those cheap in dash monitors you see on eBay for less than $500.

Once you get them post up a pic and tell us how they came out... how long is the shipping?

I know 400 bucks is not that much, but who gives us free money? Be careful...

Yeah I know about that site. I'm considering that place too. Anyone know about this site: http://www.etronics.com I found this on there: http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?...ore=&catid=392 for only a $1000. There's no pic on that site but this is it here: http://iweb.alpine-usa.com/pls/admn/...ory=&p_main=30

http://www.bigondigital.com/ this place is great! My finace bought a pioneer in dash 7 inch tv for his show car and got a great deal on it, with a 3 year warranty. Their prices are a little higher, but you get what you pay for. They are about 3/4 of the price of crutchfield! Hope this helps Jess

I do know this company will meet or beat any price as long as the original company has the item in stock I ordered 5000.00 worth of stuff from them and recieved it all with in a week and excellent condition. I highly rate them.

i read the review and they scare me ,but i just placed a order this morning and i got a tracking # at 4:30,so far everything looks in order.And for good measure i called the co. around 4:45 and asked to talk to the supervisor,he spoke perfect english,i told him about the bad reviews,and he assured me that every co. has some problems,so i thought he was making excuses until he told me that they are under new ownership and that they are working to get those old reviews erased.he said they took control of the co. in dec--------------------keeping my fingers crossed-------he said new yr,new co.

Thanks for the update griecos xb on your involvement with the company. Has anyone on here ordered anything from them either through their website or through them on eBay? Just trying to figure out what horror stories others from here have had with them? griecos xb please keep us updated either through this post or one of your own, thanks.
