Just a little while ago, this category of product - a motorised TFT monitor with DVD deck in one DIN format - was only for those with four figures to spend. Most big brand examples still cost that sort of money and yet barely any also feature a display on the end of the screen monitor's housing to be used when the screen has to be closed - or for when simply using CD or radio functions. Also, the screen in this in-dash audio visual powerhouse is a full seven inches, not smaller as is often found. The viewing angle is settable and then memorised by the deck and a simple but effective on screen display explains operations graphically. You get industry-leading amounts of headunit power with an onboard 4x60w MOSFET power amplifier and there's even a TV tuner fit for UK use included. This is an easy extra �100 for most brands. Here, it's a part of the party. You get A/V inputs and outputs for adding that extra screen and a games console or any device that puts out composite video and a healthy extra data storage chip to enable an electronic anti-shock feature to protect video continuity when driving over bumps. Dedicated reversing camera input. Massive format support includes the following: DVD-R/RW and +R/+RW, with CD-R/RW, CD-DA, MP3, WMA, SVCD, VCD and MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4 and AVI and JPEG. That all means that just about any disc will play, including DIVX format, recordable from satellite TV or off the net and even still picture CDs. A superbly full featured remote control is included in the selling price, you really won't locate any other item that offers this much value for money.
