Wow, those are VERY good prices. A 5.6" TFT for $99? Here's some info:

Volume, Color , Bright & Power Switch
RCA Jack for AUDIO/VIDEO
Picture: 680 (H) x 234 (V) 8-bit color
Power supply: 12V DC < 700 mA
Power consumption: 7W

Package include:
LCD Monitor & Support
New In retail Box.
GENERAL Specification:

System NTSC
DC 11V~14.5V<700 mA

Operating Temperature: 0C to +/- 85C
Display Methode: TFT Active Matrix System

Nothing to wow at, and probably isn't very good in direct sunlight, but $99 and it includes the bracket? Thats awesome. Just for reference, I use a 6.4" Clarion in my car that cost me $300 + $35 for the bracket. Specs aren't much different frmo this one.

I have the 2nd Generation of the Napa 3 in 1 player & its not worth the money, short battery life & the ESP is a joke, only feature that seems to work ok is the VCD feature, i have mines still on retail box and im willing to sell it since i don't use it.

With that said i'd recommend you do some research on reviews on these 3 in 1 players, they have bugs.

It's not a TV....it has tv capabilities, meaning that you could hook it up to a tv tuner and it could display the signal. the $99 lcd can only be used if you have a video source to feed it.

Typical costs for a 5.6" LCD are around 150 so I think this is a good deal.

Are there some reviews of this anywhere? I need something for my van.

this is a pretty good deal.
i don't really care for their car adapter kit or crappy mp3/vcd player since i'll be using my ps2 as a ps2 and dvd player.

however i noticed one thing about the resolution which is lower than other competing LCD's.

680 (H) x 234 (V) 8-bit color =159,120
vs.
Resolution (dots): 960V x 234V=224,640
(5.6 LCD for $140 shipped on ebay)

which on paper looks like a big difference (65520 pixels difference). i don't know about real world, visual difference though.

i'm gonna hold on this deal and do some more research.

TFT COLOR LCD - "Operating Temperature: 0C to +/- 85C"

They are saying this thing operates at -85C????? I don't believe that. It might, but it just sounds fishy to me. :confused:

I think they mean give or take some from 85 degrees C

+85/-85 Celsius = +185/-121 Fahrenheit. That's a bit extreme, IMO. I think at -121 it will be FCD instead of LCD!

I would love to have a way to entertain the kids on a long drive. I ordered one and hope it works well in the car. I will post my findings when I receive it.

Hi All,
I have never heard of these guys before. Has anyone bought from them? Are they reliable?

Thanks.

Wow this is cool, I don't think you will be able to tell the difference from dvd to vcd on such a small screen, although I'm am drooling over that sony dvd player. Is there any quality difference between that little sony player and your typical $100 home dvd player? Also what kind of battery power will I need to supply to the screen?

Also any reviews of those little vcd players?
