my next project is to add tv monitors to my mom's van (don't have a car yet) perferably 2 sets. anyway...i'll be hooking them up to my PS2 so i can play games and watch DVD also. since i'm on a tight budget (and i DO mean TIGHT) i would have to find a monitor that would be reliable, affordable, and clear. i have seen many monitors for $400 and up. they're so expensive that its not even funny!! anyways...just searching the web and i found hypeaudio.com they have a few things i needed. their prices seems ok..then i saw the monitor section. they had brands like alpine, pioneer, and jvc. after looking at the price...wham! $200+ bucks for a damn monitor!! now how am i suppose to pay for that? i'm a freshman highschooler so money is kinda hard to find. back to the subject...i didn't bother to go to the pyramid or pyle link. instead i went to jensen. i tried to find the smallest monitor so that it can fit on the headrest. smallest they had was 5". i clicked on the link.....and guess what!!! ONLY $145!!!!! :eek: just what i needed. i'm going to order 2 of them. :finger: if you know a better deal then tell me. i need to save as much money as possible. oh yea....heres what the monitor looks like:

wont 5 inches be too teenie to even do any nice game playin or movie watchin? before you decide its worth the cheaper price to buy such a smallass monitor think about waiting till u have more money to get a better one, also mayeb wait till u get your own car, by then lcd monitor prices in general will have dropped

i've seen the 5" monitor before. it seems good enough for me. i need something as small as possible to fit on the back of the headrest. it might be too small for games, but for DVD, it should be ok
