They come in a variety of formats and sizes. Some of the most common mobile video screen sizes are 3″, 5.8″, 6″, 6.1″, 6.95″, 7″, 9″, 9.2″, 10″ ,10.4″, 12″ and even larger in some rare cases. Screen size isn’t measured  in width, its actually measured diagonally just like it in for your home TV’s.

There are a variety of screen sizes and styles for no matter what location you're looking to add video to.

What screen size you choose is going to depend alot on where you wish to install it. It’s also going to depend on what you intend on using it for. You can install mobile video screens just about anywhere you could imagine in your car. Some of the most common locations are in sun visors, headrests, in dash radio, portable screens mounted on the dash and then of course there are a variety of locations to show them off too! Typical uses of mobile video screens are back-up monitors, GPS Navigation, smart phone integration, DVD Video, rear seat entertainment and of course just for flash (shows).

Motorized In Dash Flip Out Video Screen

Most in-dash video screens fall between the 5.8″ and the 7″ with a few exceptions. For example we carry a fully motorized in dash video screen that flips out into a full 8.3″ screen!  Although if you are looking for something a little crazier, we’ve been known to custom mold as large as 21″ screens into your car’s dash. Or for the tech geek in all of us, we can even mold an IPAD into your dash instead of an in-dash video screen. With in dash video screens you open a wide range of doors from in car computing, IPOD control, GPS Navigation and so much more!

HEAD REST / VISOR LCD MOBILE VIDEO SCREENS

For Sun-visors and headrest the typical sizes are from 7″ – 9″. Some headrests can’t accommodate screens though without some serious customization. And then depending on which headrest or sun visor package we set you up with, some have DVD players built in and others need an alternative video source. Sun visor screens are commonly purchased for show purposes. Headrest screens are not only great rear seat entertainment pieces, but also can increase the value and enhance the appearance of your interior.

The typical size for for Overhead mobile video screen is 10″. It’s a nice overall size that is large enough to be easily seen from any seat in the vehicle, but not too large as to be an eye sore or obstruction to the driver. It’s also important to keep the weight in mind when doing a simple overhead screen. Screens much larger than 12″ can often times put too heavy of a load on the ceiling of your vehicle.
