Headrest Monitors

What do you suggest for a good quality, durable 5.8"-6.5" inch screen. Pioneer, Sony, and Alpine seem like obvious choices but knowing how most screens are probably manufactured by the same handfull of chinese/foreign companies, is there a huge difference?

Pioneer
Sony
Alpine
Savv
Audiovox
Boss
Clarion

between those 3 I myself would narrow it down to Pioneer or Alpine because I like to keep to one brand as much as I can so if say you chose a Sony screen and later wanted to change out the speakers or add subwoofers, keeping to this rule of mine I would be compelled to use Sony speakers and I think they are sh*t so I would use Alpine and now I have a mismatch. Anal huh? LOL

I dont know...its up to you....I like Alpine since I have always used them.

I think the 5.8's are too small. Plus for the drop in price I've been seeing in the 6.5"s
(I've been shopping around and found some for $200 each for the quality stuff), I think that's the way I'm gonna go. I have found some 7" TView units for really cheap (about 200-240 for a pair) but not too sure about their quality.

made headrest monitor purchase....

I decided on some brand new 7" Clarion's. Picture resolution one of the highest I could find, has dual input A/V capability for each screen so I can do without an a/v switcher if I want, and built in 2-channel IR wireless transmitters for wireless headphones to be used by the rear passengers.

Also has external A/V game port. Got em for $260 each brand new still in sealed packaging. Will have em installed by the end of the month and post pics then.

I bought some cheap Chinese screens (Innovatek) first. They were HORRIBLE. Don't do it! I switched 'em for some Alpines. WHAT A DIFFERENCE.
