Installed my new LCD Screens - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

***ModifierMR*** · 11-24-2005, 09:14 PM

So I ended up buying 2 Casio 7" Screens off my freind for $200. He says he bought them 4-5 years ago.

I had to modify them a bit because they were supposed to hook into a casio VHS tape player unit

.They look good and you can watch movies now. Although when i play xbox the contrast is a bit to high so the image bleeds a bit. And the colors are way to bright. Like a light green will turn into a bright green.

There is only brightness controls on the side of the unit.

Do they make video processors for cars? And if so who?

Also I have changed my mind on a HU and decided i want something that plays DVD's too. But no screen.

what do you guys think

I sorta like the rear screen mounting position, not up high to be seen and stolen

. But the front one seems funny to me

yea its kinda weird with a shifter in the way, but i usually put it into nuetral and put the E-Brake up so i can get a clear veiw. When im driving it it looks pretty good.

Terrible mounting position! That's an accident waiting to happen.

but for $200 its a money well spent

you need to invest in a flux capacator....

j/k, but i think it looks good. And for 200 bucks i think you're set. Can't really beat that. The shifter looks a little in the way up front, but i can see that problem going away in drive. The back one is tight.

As for a dvd player w/o screen, if you want to save money, just go with Pyle. But i'm not a audio/visual guy so don't quote me.

But yeah, I thought you said you didn't watch it while you drive...

Dude, all I'm sayin' is be careful. I'd hate for you wreck your car, or even worse hit somebody innocent because you decided to make a poor decision.
