Car Monitors Without Player
In Australia, it is customary to cover sizeable distances by car; bored passengers benefit from a car monitor to keep them entertained throughout the journey. For kids, especially, cartoons help to make the time fly. To help you make a better buying decision below are the different types of car TV screens available on the market.
Headrest Car MonitorsHeadrest monitors are mounted on the back of the headrest of the seat in front of the rear-seat passenger. This type of car monitor is handy not only because it minimises sun glare, but also, depending on the car headrest entertainment system, because each headrest screen can display a different movie or video. Furthermore, headrest monitors allow each screen to use a different entertainment device. For instance, one could be connected to a gaming console, while another is connected to a DVD player. This eliminates disputes over what to watch.
Flip-Down Car MonitorsFlip-down car TV screens are usually mounted on the car's ceiling, and should be easy to install. Once power has been supplied to these monitors, you again can use a DVD player or smartphone as the digital media source, for example. Their outstanding feature is of course that they can be flipped down when in use and flipped up when not in use.
In-Dash Car MonitorsAs the name suggests, in-dash car monitors are installed in the car’s dashboard. In most cases, these monitors are part of a larger unit also comprising of a car TV receiver and tuner. You can buy in-dash units with GPS or without GPS. In-dash car monitors with touchscreen capability make operation considerably easier. They are the logical choice for providing video entertainment to the front seat passenger.
Rear View Car MonitorsRear view car monitors have a different function, that of keeping the driver informed about conditions behind the car. In most cases, they work hand-in-hand with a rear camera or other car video equipment. With a high definition display screen and a wide angle for a good clear view, their main purpose is to help the driver maintain safety while reversing the car or turning corners. These devices can usually be fitted over the rear view mirror.
