Headrest Monitors ?

I am planning on getting some headrest monitors with my stimulus check. Is there any monitors you guys recommend or should stay away from? I like the ones with the wood trim. Should I go with a name brand like Alpine,Kenwood, etc... or less know brand like ones on Ebay. I have a Kenwood DNX5120 headunit.

theres a couple ways to go here. there are some decent cheaps ones on ebay, like the farenheit/poweracoustik 7". i like them cause of the simple look, price, and good quality,

then you have your mainstream brands which are generally better but a lot more exspensive. in your case i would look into kenwood but i insist on matching.

another option would be something like icon tv, who specializes in car monitors. high quality high price.

I bought mine off ebay... i think the honk kong ones and they work well. i mean its defently not high def and all that jaz but the screen looks good from different angles. Ive had them for about two years but only used them for about 6 mos. they still work tho ill be putting them in the Q once i get it re-wrapped in tan leather.

id def get something with a good warranty and have it installed by a reputable shop, last thing you want it crappy install crapping up your interior. id go with a top of the line brand, id def stay away from cheapy ebay brands. thats all personal preference though.

I had wanted something that would more closely match my woodgrain and with a higher quality LCD. In addition, cutting up my Connelly leather wasn't high on my list of things I wanted to do. Here's what I got from Japan:

8" SHARP panel display
High brightness (400cd/m)
Blue LED button illumination
1RCA input terminal adoption
2 automatic power source functions (it remembers power source state, if you turn off the engine only (but power is on) then crank it back on..the monitor will stay on)
High-level adjustment (height, shaft width, and angle):
