Pyle 15.6-Inch Overhead Flip-Down Car Monitor - Hi-Res 1680x800p Widescreen Car Roof Mount Monitor, Vehicle Flip Down Overhead Screen w/IR, FM Transmitter, USB/SD, HDMI, AV, Stereo Speaker -PLRV1525

Quite frankly, it has a very good image resolution and the price is a wallet friendly. I have to video sources, a roku device on the HDMI and a dvd player with the RCA cables. Both work really good. I checked the reviews and most of them are complains against the sound. I mean, true it doesn't have a 2.1 sorround sound, but it is decent enough. I installed on my expedition and everyone in the three seat rows can hear it perfectly. Now regarding the installation, honestly it is not a 10 min process and without experience I would say it could take you around 1hr (my case). It is not easy, especially working alone, trying to screw the screen to the bracket you need to be a good contortionist or have good flexibility to work on a reduced space. But once installed and when you see it working, your pride will rise to the roof, trust me.

updating Review to 5 stars 10/5 We drove around for about 1.5 hours over the weekend and no issues with the monitor or Firestick. Happy with this and so are my kids! I bought PVC board which I had never thought about using until I read someone used it for their install with this monitor.1/8" 12"x12". I also bought some longer screws from HomeDepot since the screws that hold the monitor to mounting bracket are short. Looks nice, not as bulky as the DVD I had previously. Only problem is that my firestick keeps resetting so I'm unsure if it the stick or the usb outlet losing power that's causing that issue. Will swap out Firesticks during my troubleshooting. Will also update. Pointless to have this screen if it's going to keep causing my streaming device to reset. There is also a screen glitch. My kids will get annoyed.

The picture is just ok the built in speakers produce a sound at such a low volume I dont think a dog could barely here it and when linked through the A M radio there is so much interference that you cant even hear the movie audio almost at all, and it cuts I. And out yet my xm radio gets zero interference through the A M link...I would expect way more from Pyle u.s a, shame shame!

Hi all, My expectation wasn't set too high for this LCD monitor since this is not too expensive comparing to brand named product like Alpine. I used to have a low resolution small monitor in car. That old model wasn't great but still serve the purpose for the kids in road trip. Hence, as long as this Pyle deliver the basic 720P or above video as well as audio. I should be happy. Installation: 1. Typical wiring over the headliner; 2. I installed an extra USB port for power up my Miracast for HDMI input such that I can stream from my iPhone; Video: 1. This part is the best part of the product. The cartoons I tested such as Spirit Away and Sponge Bob look excellent; 2. Out of the box, it has few (4 or 5) dead pixels. However, it didn't bother me too much; 3. This is the biggest LCD you can go for a 3 rows SUV. The screen size 19" is big and amazing. I used to have 13" or so. I don't think you can install a bigger 22" which may touch the driver head; 4. I compared 780p vs 1080p. 780p is great, but 1080p is amazing. Audio: This is a problematic area just for me. I was thinking to use FM transmitter since it is wireless and my existing Bluetooth/FM transmitter have been being used for years without static and noise. However, this Pyle's FM transmitter has 70% of noise/static and 30% of movie sound. It is basically not usable. According to the manufacture, the quality of the FM transmitter is depended on my area which is Metro Los Angeles. I disagreed about this 'location dependent' statement since my other FM transmitter is working flawlessly. Hence, I have to wire the RCA Audio Out to my head unit. The audio is perfect. The response of the button in the unit and the remote is quite sluggish, so please be patience. My usage: 1. Play mp4 and mkv movies from the SD card. No problem at all. No stutter, no delay and no distortion at all; 2. Miracast or air play from my iPhone and Android for YouTube. The built-in Pyle's USB port can't power up my Miracast dongle which I really expected, so I have a separate power for the dongle. Video and audio are smooth and nice. You can see an attached photo for YouTube screen. Why I returned this? I LIKE THIS BIG AND VIVID SCREEN. It is a big hassle to uninstall it from my old car. After using it for 2 weeks, there is a solid vertical blue line appeared in the left side of the screen. You can see it in my attachment which is the screen playing mp3 songs. The line is there all the time such as in menu, movie playing and etc. Durability and quality control of the product can be a concern. Friendly reminder: 1. If you expect FM transmitter or IR transmitter which is YMMV, you will end it up use Audio out. Not too many LCD display in the market have Audio out. This is one of the reason I bought this Pyle 1925; 2. Do expect a few dead pixels; Update: Bought another one around July 2020. Now, it is after 6 months and so far so good.

I installed it in the ceiling of the living quarters of my horse trailer to replace a flip down tv I had. So far, all is good. Good picture , clear sound, works well, and easily…

I may come back to update my rating once (and if) I can finish the installation. There needs to be another 'Rate Feature' -- Installation. I'm wondering how many people who rated this high either did not do their own installation or are basing their ratings solely on the performance of the device. I hope it's the latter, because this has been a real pain to install, and I'm not all the way there yet! Here we go: 1. The information (and the installation instructions) fail to mention 3 more wires - black, red, and yellow. I had to go to the Q&A to find out what these wires are for and how to use them. Turns out they are for the unit's light (which, by the way, is also missing from the device description). So you don't have to search beyond here - black is ground, red is constant power, and yellow can tie into the dome light for an open door. 2. The install guide shows pictures of the RCA connectors -- all the same. When, actually, they aren't. 3 are female, 3 are male. The yellow (video) input and output ones both say 'V IN' on them, so I hope I am connecting it up correctly. 3. The 6 bolts (diagrams show only 4) to mount to the metal plate are very short. There are no guides to line up the holes, so use your magic to try to line them up. As for me, I delayed my installation and bought longer ones to install for guides, then I'll tighten down the other 4 holes, followed up by the last 2 guide holes once the 4 are in. That's the plan at least. 4. Mounting -- Ever installed a ceiling fan where you're trying to connect the wires, tuck them away, and put the fan in place all at the same time? This is similar, except it is WORSE. There is a lot of wiring, and no cavity to hide them in. if you have a sunroof, this makes it even more fun because tucking your wiring up above may (will) get in the way of the sunroof's operation. 5. Power -- I do not know what the gauge is of this wire, but if there is a unit of measure by hair thickness, this would fall into that category. I had 0% success in determining the amount of current draw this device is rated at, but based on the size of the wire, I hope it's in the low mA range or else it's going to melt like chocolate on a hot dash. I'm really hoping that everything works once it's in, because I'd really hate to have to take it down after my impending circus performance. As stated, I may update this review once I get the longer bolts and safely have the wires tucked away and have actually tried it out. I'm hoping to at least bump this up to a 3. UPDATE: I got the longest bolts available from Home Depot, putting one in 2 opposite corners. I also bought bolts (again, Home Depot) that were about twice as long as the ones that came with the unit. Able to tuck, slide, push, press... then got the bolts started and it's all installed and working! Video looks OK (not very good if at too much of an angle). The six small rubber covers for the bolt holes do not stay in at all -- not a big deal, just something I noticed. Updated this to a '3' given the successful finalization and that it works.

The screen is big so I don't get complaints from my kids that it is too small. It has about 4 ways to connect thins, 1 HDMI port, 1 USB prt, 1 Micro memory card port, and 2 VGA port. Those are a great number of options that could be taken full advantage of. I currently have a coverter box, a micro memory card, and a HDMI cable to my phone to give my kids opons to watch tv the go. The coverter box isn't the best since sicgnal isn't that great when driving but if your parked and waiting for a bit then having a tv is great option to have. The picture of the diplay is good fo what it is althuogh I wish it was better.

Great monitor so far. Picture is crisp and clear. For those who are connecting from their stereo to the monitor via the rca jack get the one with a ground attached at both ends to clear the fuzzy picture issue. Would have given this monitor a 5 star on value but it’s limited to 32gb usb/micro sd cards. I have a 256 with all my kids movies so I have to run it off my head unit and use the cars stereo as opposed to the monitors usb and it’s own built in speakers.

Excelente producto

Ich habe diesen Fernseher für mein Auto gekauft und bin total begeistert. Die Installation war inklusive und seitdem funktioniert er einwandfrei. Er sieht super im Van aus. Die Klangqualität ist sehr gut und die Bedienung kinderleicht. Ich würde ihn jederzeit wieder kaufen – er ist einfach top!

Está muy bien la pantalla. Pero cuesta trabajo duplicar la pantalla de tu celular para una transmisión excelente porque hay interferencia en la imagen y la pila del celular no dura
