Celica Forums General Discussion Interior guys, should i buy this tv?

i never really wanted one of these cause they are so expensive, and i know this one isn't the best, but the guy only wants $150 for it and it was like $500 new. said he was gonna put an x-box on it and put it in his car but it's never been used. is it worth it? it'd be cool to put a gamecube on it and play RE4 in the car.

anyway here's the specs...

Not bad for 150 but never heard of the brand.

same here

the main reason i would want it is for a gamecube. but since it doesn't play mp3s, i would only want it if i can keep my sony mp3 deck, and still run my subs/speakers, etc. through that. but i'd want sound out of the tv for when i play games too. does that make sense? it's just a screen w/ hookups to a gaming system or whatever. doesn't have a built-in dvd player either. but like i said, i just want it to hook up a gamecube too.

Ill save up for a dvd player where you can hook up anything.

looks pretty cheap...id rather save up for a better one...like pioneer or something

that's the thing though i won't ever spend the money to put a tv in my car, but i'm tempted because this one is cheap.

Its not a bad price, not the best brand at all. the thing is, you won't be able to keep your sony player if it doesn't have some kind of auxility rca inputs. It doesn't look like the tv/dvd has an internal amplifier (according to that description).

To be completely honest man, you wouldn't be happy with this unit in a couple of months, its not going to have all of the features you're going to want in a tv. I'd say don't get it even though its a good price.

what if all i ever want it to do is play my gamecube? i don't really care about it playing dvds or anything else. would you go for it under that scenario if you were me?

Might not help much, but you can find out more about lanzar products at:

im not sure about that brand though

dude if you put a tv in your car put an xbox mod it and put a 200 gig harddrive in it i have my tv on order and thats' what i'm doing and my boy has it in his car. If you download music vidoes and drive with em it's sick.

really all i'm looking for is a screen with decent picture quality. doesn't have to have a dvd player i just want to hook up a gaming system to it.

look in my profile and get the alpine tm580 screen... its like 500 and the pic quality is awesome...i wouldnt go for it man honestly

Find out why he is selling it.

Where are you really going to be able to fid that flip out AND you sony? You willing to do the work to fiberglass and everything to make it work?

my friend just bought one of these no-name brand screens in his xb it works great. he got his for 300 brand new. has all th3e good features internal amp mp3 capable tilt screen. i would say buy it

well it's too late, it's sold now. he sold it for less than that too. but i got springs w/ the money i would have used on the tv and i don't really regret it.

i sold a sweet deck for a kenwood excelon in dash dvd. i lost a lot of sound quality and have had several problems with a 1500 unit. i would only recommend an indash if you get a good one. dont yank out a deck and replace it with something unless its better. you will be disappointed. ive seen people sell pioneers for a few hundered, not the n1 but the older ones. id say keep looking

that screen kinda looks like the one i have right now in my car (check profile for pix). i'm about to get a lcd screen for my jdm console though.

yeah don't skimp on the deck or you'll probably regret it later

You did the right thing by waiting. I want to pu tone in bad also, but i'm holding out on a touch screen computer monitor for mine.

Yeah man, trust me, just wait and save up for a nice and expensive one, haha! A nice touch screen, that has a built in DVD, outlet for back-up camera and whatever gismo you want to add is well worth the money. I have the Pioneer AVH-6500DVD and shit, I don't know what I would do without this thing now! And I still want to upgrade to a bigger, badder one. It's worth the $2000 or whatever man, trust me and everyone here...we don't give false information
