- What sets it a notch higher is its HDMI function which enables the headrest DVD to be synchronized with playing video and audio on your computer, mobile phone, raspberry pie, kindle fire, etc.
Things we didn’t like
- It should have been made to have the ability to use the A/V on all inputs whether it is on DVD or not. (Apparently you can only use the A/V output when using the DVD)
- Why put a limit on space. For the price of this screen you should have a good processor to handle a 2 TB portable hard drive.
