Hmmm the first & second one are the same, & they both semi-motorized, I use to have a semi-motorized Clarion TV, which are bloody annoying, & if you not carefull you always end up with finger print on it all the time.

The TV screen support 16:9 (Full widescreen), but the DVD player listed only support 4:3 (standard CRT TV) which is stupid in my opinion.

For the 3rd one, unless its flush mounted, you just asking for trouble when thief walk pass your car. & the player seem to be same as the first two.

What you need to look for is a LCD that have full auto motorized function, which usually have better screen resolution & contrast ratio, & a DVD player with tuner that support both 16:9 & 14:9 widescreen.

Do keep in mind, most of the cheap player like that don't have a good equalizer function, so if you got some decent speakers you be very disapointed with the sound.

Its better you pay a little bit more at the start then keep changing head units later.

mmmm u think the roof mounted ones would b better? or the in dash?

yeh i was looking for the full motorized ones with the player supporting both 16:9 and 14:9 widescreens..

the sound quality isnt that bad. a friend of mine ordered one of these chepo players from the U.S for his lexus SC400.. and the sound isnt that bad..

he got a completely different screen which is kinda shabby.. d quality is dbout the same as d little tv in my room LoL

ahhh but thanks for the feedback.. im still on the hunt =P

theres nothing wrong with having it mounted on yr dash, just as long as yr careful where u park. I didnt have one break in for my TV and i had it sitting there for a year! :wink:
