I say skip the one you're looking at on ebay and get the good stuff. . .the screen is only out when you're using it or watching a movie right? that means it's retracted and you can still see your humount otherwise . . .

well i dont really want a real big screen eithor, and i also dont want to spend 800 to 1000 on a dvd player. I was going to spend about 300 on a good deck so i figured i might as well spend another 100 and get a dvd player.

Sounds like you got your mind made up. JVC is allright. Pretty complicated HU to get off ebay. Try to find out if it has a factory warranty or not.

$300 = fairly good head unit
$400 = crappy dvd player

i would say, go with the monitors in the visor. i think that's pretty sick looking. you can get those for pretty cheap off ebay. there's even a write up around here about mounting them. or you can buy them already mounted to the visor.
